✦ The Mineral Check ✦
One hair test.
One real answer.
A plan for your family.
An at-home HTMA. A practitioner-reviewed report. Three protocols. For every age in your home.
The eczema, the meltdowns, the picky eating, the puberty acne, the mouth breathing, the 2 a.m. wake-ups, the cycle that won't regulate, the energy that won't come back. The Mineral Check shows you what each body is actually short on, reviewed by me personally, with three ready-to-start ways forward.
Infants · Kids · Teens · Adults · No needles
You've tried everything.
Something
still feels off.
Hey there. I'm Dr. Nina-Marie. If you've cut the dairy, changed the detergent, bought the stronger cream, and moved bedtime earlier, and it's still not landing, you are not doing this wrong.
You've just been handed a lot of guesses and no data.
The Mineral Check is where the guessing stops. One simple hair test, read by an actual practitioner, that tells you what your child's body, or your own, is actually missing. Then three real ways to start, so you can pick the one that fits the season you're in.
Where mineral imbalance
actually shows up
When minerals are out of balance, it rarely arrives as one tidy symptom. It arrives as the things that wear a parent down.
Behavior & big emotions
Meltdowns that feel "too big," trouble focusing, outbursts from nowhere.
Sleep that won't settle
Tossing, night wakings, the late-day crash. Often magnesium and zinc.
Picky eating
A shrinking list of "safe" foods, and taste changes that trace back to zinc.
Skin & eczema
Itchy, flaring skin that returns no matter which cream you try.
Frequent sniffles
Catching every bug that goes around, and taking a long time to bounce back.
Loud & mouth breathing
The nighttime snoring, the open mouth, the breathing you can hear from the next room.
The problem usually isn't your parenting, and it isn't your child. It's that no one has looked in the right place yet.
The snoring.
The open mouth.
The tissue that
won't settle.
If your child snores, breathes through their mouth, and breathes loud at night, you've probably already heard "allergies," or seen an ENT about inflamed turbinates. That's the right first step. Here's the question that visit doesn't always include: why does that tissue stay inflamed, and what is the body's terrain telling us?
It's mucous membrane
Zinc & Vitamin A
The turbinates inside the nose are lined with mucous membrane, and two nutrients build and repair that lining. When they run low, the tissue tends to stay reactive and slow to settle.
It's immune regulation
Balanced ratios
Whether the body calms inflammation or stays stuck in it tracks with mineral balance. The Mineral Check shows which minerals are driving the reactive pattern in your child's body right now.
It's the reactivity underneath
Calcium & magnesium
Even allergy-style responses have a mineral layer. Calcium and magnesium status influence how strongly the body reacts to a trigger in the first place.
This works alongside your ENT, not instead of them. You can support the structure and the terrain at the same time. A hair test is the simplest way to see what's happening underneath.
From guessing to a real plan
The test
At-home HTMA kit
Mailed to your door with simple instructions. A tiny hair sample, no needles, no stress. Mail it back to our trusted lab. All lab fees included.
The answer
A reviewed written report
Your results, reviewed personally by Nina-Marie, ND. Which minerals are low, which are high, and what's actually driving the symptoms. In plain language you can act on.
The plan
3 custom protocol options
Built from your intake form, not a template. You choose the level that fits your reality this season. The three options are below.
For every age in your home. Infants, kids, teens, and adults are all welcome. Each family member is their own enrollment, with their own test, report, and protocols.
Three protocol options,
built for real life
Every family is in a different season, so every report comes with three ways to start. You pick the one you can actually keep up with.
The Comprehensive
The full picture: a complete supplement protocol plus food and lifestyle support. For families ready to go all in.
The Bare Minimum
The highest-impact essentials: a streamlined supplement protocol plus food and lifestyle support. Big movement, fewer moving parts.
Food & Lifestyle Only
No supplements required. A targeted food-and-lifestyle plan for those who want to start gently, or skip the supplement aisle entirely.
Same test.
Same depth.
Every age
in your home.
One kit, read three different ways. What gets flagged changes with who is being tested. The lens shifts, the depth doesn't.
Kids
Infants through school age. The eczema, the sleep, the picky eating, the meltdowns, the breathing.
- Skin barrier and eczema patterns
- Sleep, mood, and focus minerals
- Taste changes behind picky eating
- Immune resilience and recovery
Tweens & Teens
Puberty rewires a body. Zinc and copper sit at the center of nearly all of it.
- The zinc-to-copper ratio behind acne
- Mood and anxiety through the hormone shift
- Growth spurts and bone density demand
- Cycle onset, PMS, and the hormone foundation
Moms & Adults
The minerals you've been giving everyone else, you also need.
- Preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum depletion
- Thyroid cofactors and metabolism
- Adult acne and hormonal skin
- Energy, stress capacity, and gut healing

Nina-Marie, ND
A mom of three. A naturopathic doctor. Your partner in uncovering what each member of your family actually needs.
For years, I've helped families ditch the guesswork and get real answers. Whether it's eczema that won't quit, behavior that makes daily life a struggle, sleep that leaves everyone wrecked, the puberty years that nobody warned you about, or your own body that just isn't bouncing back. The missing piece is almost always the same: minerals.
Through Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis and a food-first, root-cause approach, I help families find clarity and confidence. The body isn't broken. It just needs the right support, and The Mineral Check is the simplest way I've built to find it.

Everything you need to know
Is the HTMA test safe?
Yes. It's a simple, non-invasive hair test. No needles, no pain. A tiny snip of hair is all it takes, and it's safe for every age from infants through adults.
Can I really test the whole family?
Yes. The Mineral Check is built for every age in your home, from infants to adults. Each person is their own enrollment, with their own test, report, and custom protocols, at the same price. Enroll as many family members as you like.
My child snores or breathes through their mouth, and we've seen an ENT. Can this still help?
Yes, as complementary support. Your ENT handles the structural and acute picture, which matters and shouldn't be skipped. The Mineral Check looks at a different layer: the mineral status behind mucous membrane repair, immune regulation, and how reactive the tissue is. Minerals like zinc, partnered with Vitamin A, support the nasal lining, and the test shows what your child's body is actually short on. Keep your ENT and any prescribing provider in the loop, and don't stop or change any prescribed care without them.
What does The Mineral Check look like for adults?
Same kit, same practitioner-reviewed report, same three protocol options. The difference is what gets flagged: hormone-cofactor minerals when you're trying to conceive, depletion patterns postpartum, thyroid-supporting minerals for metabolism, the zinc-copper story behind adult acne and gut healing. The lens shifts. The depth doesn't.
How does this help my tween or teen?
Puberty rewires the body, and zinc and copper sit at the center of nearly all of it. Acne, mood, growth spurts, cycle onset, and hormone foundations all depend on mineral sufficiency right now. The earlier we see the picture, the more leverage we have.
How long until I get my results?
Your written report and three custom protocol options typically arrive about three weeks after the lab receives your sample.
What are the three protocol options?
Your report comes with three ways to start: a full supplement plus food and lifestyle protocol, a streamlined "bare minimum" supplement plus food and lifestyle protocol, and a food-and-lifestyle-only option with no supplements. You choose the lane that fits.
How is HTMA different from a blood test?
Blood tests capture a short-term snapshot. HTMA reveals longer-term mineral patterns and can surface heavy-metal exposure that bloodwork often misses, for a fuller picture.
My child is on medication. Is this still okay?
Minerals support overall health alongside other care. The Mineral Check is educational support, not a replacement for your child's medical team. Keep your prescribing provider in the loop and don't change any prescribed medication without them.
What does it cost?
$299 for one enrollment. Each additional family member is a separate enrollment at the same price.
The Mineral Check and the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis it includes are intended for educational and wellness purposes. They are not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and do not replace care from your pediatrician or licensed medical provider. Always consult a qualified professional for acute, severe, or worsening symptoms, before starting any new supplement, and before changing any prescribed medication. Individual results vary. Testimonials reflect individual experiences and are not guarantees.
