✨The HTMA Test✨
Your bloodwork is "normal". Your minerals tell a different story.
Postpartum depression that antidepressants aren't touching. Anxiety that came out of nowhere. Hair falling out in the shower. Exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix. Perimenopause symptoms your doctor says are "just hormones." A thyroid that's been medicated for years but you still feel off. A child who can't focus, can't sleep, can't stop melting down.
Different symptoms. Different diagnoses. Different prescriptions.
Almost always, the same missing piece: nobody tested your minerals.

What minerals have to do with all of it
Minerals are the cofactors that make every system in your body work. Hormones, neurotransmitters, thyroid function, immune regulation, sleep cycles, energy production, hair growth, mood stability — none of it runs without the right mineral foundation.
When that foundation is off, symptoms appear everywhere. And because they look like different problems, they get treated like different problems — separately, symptomatically, indefinitely.
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis is the test that looks underneath all of it. A small hair sample shows your mineral levels and heavy metal burden over the past three months — the patterns that blood tests miss, the imbalances that have been quietly driving your symptoms for months or years.
This is where the guessing stops.
When minerals become depleted or imbalanced, the body begins compensating.
Over time, those compensations show up as symptoms like:
FATIGUE // ANXIETY // BURNOUT // INSOMNIA // NIGHTMARES // HAIR LOSS // HORMONAL SYMPTOMS // HYPOTHYROIDISM // WEIGHT GAIN // MOOD SWINGS // PMDD // BRAIN FOG // DIGESTIVE ISSUES // LOW STRESS TOLERANCE // DIFFICULTY GETTING OR STAYING PREGNANT // CRAVINGS // PAINFUL PERIODS // PERINATAL & POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION // DENTAL ISSUES // TIRED BUT WIRED // FOOD SENSITIVITIES // ACNE // LOW LIBIDO // SHORT FUSE // COLD HANDS & FEET & NOSE // SLOW SPEECH // BRITTLE NAILS // CONSTIPATION // PANIC ATTACKS // DISSOCIATION // DEPERSONALIZATION // CIRCULATION ISSUES
Does any of this sound like you?
Postpartum
You grew and fed a human being and nobody refilled what that took from you. The depression, the anxiety, the rage, the brain fog, the hair loss, the exhaustion that doesn't improve with more sleep — postpartum depletion is a mineral story. Zinc, magnesium, iron, iodine, selenium — pregnancy and breastfeeding drain all of them. Most postpartum care replaces none of them.
Perimenopause + Postmenopause
The hot flashes, the sleep disruption, the mood swings, the weight that won't move, the brain fog, the joint pain, the anxiety that arrived in your forties with no warning. Hormones don't shift in isolation — they shift because the mineral cofactors that regulated them for decades are depleted. Estrogen dominance, cortisol dysregulation, and thyroid slowdown all have a mineral layer underneath them.
Thyroid
Your TSH is "in range" and you still feel like you're operating at 40%. Or you've been on medication for years and you're still symptomatic. Thyroid hormone needs selenium to convert. It needs iodine to be produced. It needs zinc to signal properly. It needs magnesium to keep cortisol from suppressing it. The mineral picture almost always explains what the medication isn't fixing.
Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Panic Attacks, Dissociation
Copper toxicity is one of the most overlooked drivers of anxiety, OCD, and panic attacks — and one of the most reliably found things on an HTMA in women, men, and kids with these symptoms. Low zinc, magnesium deficiency, and calcium dysregulation also directly affect neurotransmitter function, nervous system tone, and the ability to regulate stress. If your mental health symptoms have a physical component nobody has found yet, minerals are worth looking at.
Hair loss
Diffuse shedding. Thinning at the temples. Bald patches. Hair loss almost always traces back to iron, zinc, selenium, or silica deficiency — or to the thyroid and hormone imbalances those deficiencies cause. HTMA shows the pattern. A protocol addresses it at the root.
Hormone Imbalance
PMS that sidelines you. A luteal phase that's too short. Cycles that are irregular or painful. Estrogen dominance. Low progesterone. PMDD. PCOS. Every one of these has a mineral layer most practitioners aren't looking at.
Sleep Issues
Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Waking at 2 or 3am. Unrefreshing sleep no matter how many hours you get. Magnesium, calcium, and zinc regulate sleep cycles. Adrenal mineral patterns affect whether your cortisol rises and falls the way it should. Sleep that doesn't respond to "sleep hygiene" is usually a biochemistry problem.
Pediatric Concerns
ADHD and focus struggles. Anxiety. Meltdowns that feel too big. Picky eating. Chronic constipation. Eczema that won't clear. Frequent illness and slow recovery. Mouth breathing and poor sleep. Speech and developmental delays. Children deplete minerals fast and replace them slowly — especially in a world of processed food, chronic stress, and soil depletion. Minerals are almost always part of the picture.

About your practitioner
Hi friend! I'm KP Richards, ND, HTMAp — a naturopathic doctor specializing in women's health, the vaginal microbiome, fertility, and pediatrics. I work with families navigating unexplained infertility, hormone imbalances, mental health symptoms, digestive issues, hypothyroidism, and pediatric concerns. In almost every single case, minerals are part of the picture.
HTMA testing finds the missing picture that standard workup misses.
How It Works
Order + fill out your health history form inside your client portal. Two forms must be completed for all individuals before protocols and lab results can be released: Health History Form & Health Consent.
Collect your sample at home. Your kit arrives by mail (or digital if you're international). Cut your hair sample and send it off to the lab (instructions are included once you place your order!)
If hair has been recently colored, it is recommended to wait at least 6 weeks after coloring for the most accurate results.
Lab turnaround time is typically 2-4 weeks. Once results are received, your interpretation and protocols will be uploaded in your Practice Better portal with one week of us receiving them from the lab.
Add a call if you need one. Book a 1:1 follow-up for $99 anytime after you receive your report. Most women find the report answers everything, but the option is there!
Have questions? I got answers!
I've already done an HTMA somewhere else. Can I still work with you? Not through this offer. This includes the test. If you have recent results you want reviewed send me a DM on Instagram or email to livelyrootedfwc@gmail.com and we can book a different session.
What if I have questions after I get my report? Add a 1:1 follow-up call for $99. Book it directly through your portal after your report arrives.
Can I test internationally? Yes. International clients receive a digital test requisition. Everything else — report, protocol, Fullscript access — is identical.
Can my husband test his minerals? Absolutely! In fact, I encourage him too! Getting and staying pregnant takes two. 50% of miscarriages are related to men's health. Minerals directly influence the health of sperm.
What are the protocol options? I'm a food-first practitioner. I focus first on honing in your diet, lifestyle, and nervous system. I never throw random supplements at my clients. There will be supplement recommendations but they are not required if you prefer a food-first focus as well.
How long until I get my results and protocol? Lab turnaround time is typically 2-4 weeks. Once I receive your results you can expect them uploaded in your client portal within one week. Timeline looks like 3-5 weeks.
What if I'm on medication? Totally fine! I'm a food-first practitioner so a majority of my recommendations will hone in on your diet + lifestyle + nervous system. Supplements are recommended but optional. If you make a note in your health history your medication and dosage I always make sure that supplements will not interact.
How much does this cost? $299. If you'd like to test additional family members such as your husband, that will be a separate enrollment at the same price!
