I’m here to guide and support you on your health journey through the powerful tool of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA). Whether you’re just starting to explore mineral balancing or have been on this path for a while, I offer several ways to meet you where you are. I’ll walk you through each option in detail, so you can confidently choose what’s right for your current needs and goals. My aim is to help you find the best path to restore balance and feel your best.
Hi, I’m Lydia Joy,
I’m passionate about using Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) because it offers deep insights into every client’s unique health picture. Minerals are foundational to our well-being, yet they’re often overlooked in traditional health assessments. Many people who feel like they’ve ‘tried everything’ often miss this crucial piece—mineral balance.
HTMA allows me to pinpoint mineral imbalances that could be holding you back from feeling your best. It’s a tool I use with every single client because it consistently delivers valuable information.
For women experiencing burnout, HTMA often uncovers the missing link they need to start feeling better. The changes in energy, stress resilience, and overall well-being can be profound and in a relatively short amount of time.
Although I primarily support women recovering from burnout, I also work with men, children, and entire families to bring balance and vitality back into their lives.

First, clients LOVE tests and hard data. It’s ingrained in us thanks to Western medicine.
Second, clients feel validated when they understand what the information HTMA shows them about their entire health picture.
Third, it’s affordable, non-invasive and gives massive insight that no other test can show (and you don't even have to leave the comfort of your home to do it).
Fourth, it gives me clarity on how to address the mineral piece of the puzzle for all my clients, while also addressing every single health foundation.
Finally, it’s repeatable and intended to be used long term to course correct your health so you can recover and prevent future metabolic disarray.
A consult includes: 2 written reports, 1- 90 minute phone session, my online program, the cost of the lab fee, access to my online dispensary (with built in discounts), weekly client newsletters with checkins and ongoing resources as well as email support for 3 months

An automatic invitation into my online program. The online program has 10 modules that will guide you over 3 months as you work on your HTMA game plan. You will be able to work on the first few lessons while you wait for your hair test kit in the mail and then for the results to come in from the lab after you’ve mailed in your hair sample. This process can take a couple of weeks.
The HTMA program content will be released over the course of 2 months, you’ll get access to new content weekly. The course content builds on itself and is delivered to help you integrate the action steps you’ll be recommended to take. It’s designed to educate you and give you plenty of resources to work with, as well as to know what to expect on your mineral balancing journey. You will be able to ask questions in the comment section of the lessons any time.
Here is the course content outline:

Once your hair tissue mineral analysis lab results are back from the lab, I will be in touch to schedule your consultation session for review. Prior to your session I will send you my review of your HTMA data for your reference.
During your session we will review your health history and health goals, what the lab results can show about your current health and discuss a game plan to get started with.
After your session, within a week, I will send you my written recommended game plan. This game plan is for you to work on over about a 3 month time frame. During the 3 months you’ll have ongoing access to the online program and can ask questions anytime.
If at any time during the 3 months you run into obstacles or decide you need more support, you can contact me for additional support. This information will be included in the program for you as well.
The HTMA Consultation was created to help clients get targeted information about their health concerns and a plan to work on correcting their health. There are two payment options to choose from.
I help my clients gain a comprehensive understanding of their health through a whole-person approach. This includes making dietary tweaks that align with your current health patterns and concerns, incorporating gentle detoxification support, and creating lifestyle and environmental adjustments that promote long-term well-being. We’ll also use targeted supplementation to meet your body’s specific needs, ensuring a holistic approach that fits exactly where you are on your health journey. Please note that I do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. While I am not a "nutritional balancing" practitioner, I am a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who uses Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis to create individualized mineral balancing plans. Every client’s plan is unique—there’s no one-size-fits-all approach here.
A package includes: 2 written reports, 4 sessions via phone, my online program, the cost of the lab fee, access to my online dispensary (with built in discounts), biweekly client newsletters through Kajabi announcements, email support. *Additional lab review-bloodwork or BiomeFX as needed - cost of labs not included.
If you know you are someone who needs direct 1:1 guidance and feel incredibly overwhelmed with taking on anything new, this option is probably for you. It’s also intended for anyone who may want me to review additional lab work.
The package includes everything the consult options does but the difference is you will receive 4 separate 1:1 phone sessions
Here is how the sessions are set up:
Session 1: scheduled right away (within 2 weeks of signing up)
→ In this session, I will review your health history. We will come up with some action steps you can take while waiting for your results. Including how to prepare and declutter so you can set yourself up for optimal success on your 3 month program.
Session 2: to review your HTMA (typically scheduled within 30 days of signing up)
→ In this session, I will explain your lab results and we will come up with your recommended game plan to follow. The game plan will be sent to you via email (usually within 2 business days).
Session 3: schedule within 45-60 days (month 2)
→ to review progress/make tweaks/overcome obstacles OR review additional labs as needed
Session 4: schedule within 75-90 days (month 3)
→ to review progress/make tweaks/overcome obstacles OR review additional labs as needed
The HTMA package option was designed for client who want extra 1:1 support to help avoid overwhelm so they can make progress beyond what they could by doing it on their own. There are two payment options to choose from. Full pay and a 3 pay option. The 3 pay option is listed on the top of the full pay option page for you or at the bottom of this page as well.
I understand that this is a big decision, and you want to be sure it’s the right one for you. If you're considering signing up for my HTMA package but have questions or concerns, let's talk. I want to ensure this is the best fit for your current health goals, and that we’ll work well together. Click the link below to schedule a call, so we can discuss your needs and confirm my availability for all your sessions. Please note that discovery calls are reserved for those seriously considering my package option.
Only about a teaspoon of hair growth is needed for hair analysis, an amount that can easily be collected from the crown and/or nape area of your scalp without being obvious. A scale is provided in the test kit to ensure the correct amount in collected. The newest hair growth (1/2 to 1 inch) is needed to show what is going on in your body most recently, as hair cut from the ends would show what was happening in your body several years ago depending on hair length.
The portion of hair to be collected should be untreated, i.e. not permed, dyed or bleached. If all of the hair has been chemically treated, wait until sufficient new virgin growth has emerged to allow collection. The hair should also be free of all gels, oils and hair creams prior to sample collection. For those individuals environmentally and/or occupationally exposed to external contaminants, (welding, mining, etc...) special care should be taken to limit exposure between washing of the hair and the collection of the sampled hair.
I teach you how to prepare the hair before taking a sample inside the program -generally speaking it's about 8-10 regular shampoos from the time of the treatment that need to be done before a clean sample can be taken to submit to the lab.
Scalp hair is the only source recommended for analysis. Pubic and other body hair should only be used as a last resort if scalp hair is not available.
Back or chest hair in bald men can be used.
Note: Pubic and other body hair is only recommended for confirmation of elevated toxic metals found in the scalp hair and/or to rule out external contamination of the scalp hair.
If you have recent blood work within the last 1-2 months that is relevant to your current health I can review that if you choose to sign up for the HTMA package option.
I do cover what bloodwork I recommend in the online course and will make suggestions as needed for additional testing after consulting with a client.
The only two labs whose graph results I am well versed in reviewing are Trace Elements or Analytical Research Labs. The name of the lab will be at the top of your results.
I do not work with any other labs than these two. If you have RECENT results received within the past 1-3 months and would like me to work with me - you can sign up HERE
(*the cost of the lab fee is deducted).
I have my own online dispensary that you will be able to order supplements through at a discount. I work with numerous brands and I work with each client to ensure we find products/forms they can use. All of your supplement recommendations will be included in your written game plan with a link to where you can find them in my dispensary for ease of purchase.
You will be asked to list your current supplements, brands, doses, types on your client health questionnaire. When I review this paperwork and create your plan I will do my best to work with the supplements you have that make sense based on your results.
I created the program to be very thorough and give you resources beyond our one time consultation. I like to make sure my clients are educated and supported beyond just our 1:1 session together. This is why I do not consult without the program. You do not have to complete the entire program for it to be valuable to you and there is no time limit to complete it by.
The primary costs is your consult or package and any supplements you are recommended.
Many people can pair back their protocols to save money.
Any other costs are up to you, but those could be recommendations like blue blocking glasses or herbs for an herbal infusions or ingredients for mineral baths. Again those additions are all up to you and can be added on an as needed basis according your finances.
Retests are also recommended for continuity support and to assess progress and make adjustments. Retests are recommended quarterly the first 1-2 years if possible. Retests can be stretched out to 6 months the first 1-2 years then move to annually. It all depends on your goals, ability to make and sustain changes as well as your finances.
Retests are $345 they include all the same benefits as the first test minus one report.

However, if you want me to work with just your child alone I suggest the HTMA consultation option and that a parent utilize the course material as well as benefit from the weekly client emails.
Questions about your child's situation ; [email protected]
Let me know more about what your child is dealing with, what you are hoping to accomplish and I will share if I am able to support you,
I do not take them as payment. My clients with Health Savings accounts or Family Savings accounts pay out of pocket then submit their receipt of purchase for reimbursement.
Yes. HTMA is an excellent way to assess bone health.
Osteoporosis, or demineralization of the bones, can often be prevented and even corrected. Hair analysis and nutritional therapy with mineral balancing can help determine the cause and guide correction of the tendency for osteoporosis.
