HTMA for Kids or Teens: A Non-Invasive Way to Understand Behavior, Sleep, Hair Loss, Deficiencies, Weight Struggles, and More

By Dee Davidson, Functional Health Practitioner

As a mom, you know when something is off with your child—even if their labs are “normal” or you're told, “They’ll grow out of it.”

Whether it's mood swings, skin issues, a sudden struggle with focus or sleep, hair thinning, or unexplained weight gain (or difficulty gaining weight at all)—you don’t have to keep guessing.

HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) is a powerful, non-invasive test that uses a small hair sample to assess mineral levels and toxic metal exposure. It provides a clear snapshot of your child’s stress response, nutrient deficiencies, and hidden burdens affecting their health and development.

HTMA can help reveal:

  • Why your child is always tired or has low energy

  • Deficiencies impacting mood, focus, sleep, and immune function

  • Mineral imbalances affecting metabolism and weight

  • Root causes of behavior issues, irritability, or meltdowns

  • Patterns contributing to skin issues like eczema or rashes

  • Heavy metal exposure like lead, aluminum, or mercury

  • Early signs of adrenal burnout or nervous system stress

Dee Davidson, FDN-P, has helped many children and teens uncover the deeper root causes of their health challenges using HTMA. It’s a gentle, insightful tool that helps you support your child naturally—without the overwhelm.
