Your bloodwork is normal. Your skin didn't get the memo.

The HTMA Testing Package looks at what bloodwork can't — your mineral levels, stress patterns, and the internal imbalances that are quietly driving your acne. At-home collection. Real answers. A plan built around your actual results.

Every month you wait is another month of breakouts, guesswork, and trying things that aren't built around your body.

The HTMA Testing Package — test report, protocol documents and consultation summary
For people with chronic acne

You've done everything right. Your skin is still breaking out.

You cut dairy. You tried the supplements. You went to the dermatologist. You've done the research, followed the protocols, and spent money on things that were supposed to work. And you're still here. Still breaking out. Still being told your labs are fine and there's nothing else to try.

We're not going to give you another elimination diet or a supplement protocol based on guesswork. We're going to look at your actual data — your mineral levels, your stress patterns, the internal imbalances that have been driving your skin issues the whole time. Nobody has looked at this yet. That's why nothing has worked.

Client story

10 years. 7 surgeries. Finally, an answer.

Saif had been to dermatologists across Canada, the US, and the Middle East. Two rounds of antibiotics. Multiple surgeries. Every cream, every diet, every specialist. Nothing worked.

Not one person ever mentioned the gut.

"Tell me what the problem is and I'll do whatever it takes. I just couldn't find the answer."

His HTMA showed the gut imbalances and mineral patterns driving everything — patterns that had never once appeared on a blood test. His protocol was targeted and built entirely around his results.

"Something I've been fighting since I was a teenager — solved. I look in the mirror and I can't believe what I'm seeing."

Everyone's timeline is different. Saif responded exceptionally quickly. Most clients see meaningful changes over several months of consistent support.

What is HTMA?

The test that shows us what's been happening inside your body for the last 90 days

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis is a lab test that uses a small sample of your hair to show us your mineral levels and ratios over the past three months. Not what was in your blood on one random Tuesday morning. What your tissues have actually been doing.

We've run this test with thousands of clients. It consistently tells us things no other test does — and it consistently shows us the patterns that explain why someone's skin won't clear no matter what they try.

Minerals run everything — how your hormones are made and cleared, how your liver detoxifies, how your nervous system responds to stress, how your skin repairs itself. When the ratios are off, you get symptoms. Persistent acne. Fatigue. Hormonal chaos. The kind of stuff you've been told is just "your skin type." It's not your skin type. It's your mineral picture.

Bloodwork won't show this

Blood tightly regulates mineral levels to keep you alive — so imbalances don't show up there until things are severe. HTMA reads the tissue level. That's where the real patterns live.

It's the ratios that matter

Mineral levels tell us part of the story. The ratios — how minerals relate to each other — tell us the rest. That's where the patterns that drive skin issues live.

We've used this with thousands of clients

HTMA has been used in functional practice for decades. The patterns we see consistently connect directly to skin, hormones, and energy. It's not trendy. It's just underused.

Interpretation changes everything

Raw results without context are just numbers. Your results are reviewed by a licensed clinician and walked through by a KSW acne nutritionist who knows exactly what to look for in a skin case.

What we actually look at

This goes way deeper than checking if you're low in zinc

Calcium : Magnesium
Blood sugar regulation and carbohydrate metabolism patterns
Sodium : Potassium
Vitality, energy, and how your body is responding to stress
Zinc : Copper
Hormone detoxification, immune function, and acne patterns
Sodium : Magnesium
Adrenal load and how your body is coping with stress
Calcium : Potassium
Thyroid, adrenal, immune, and hormonal patterns
Calcium : Phosphorus
Fat and protein digestion, chronic stress patterns
Iron : Copper
Immune balance and copper regulation in the body
Calcium : Iron
Potential anemia patterns, digestion, supplement overload

Real questions, real answers

Things people ask us before they book

"My bloodwork came back normal. Why would this be different?" +
Because bloodwork and HTMA are measuring completely different things. Blood tightly regulates mineral levels to keep you alive — which means imbalances don't show up there until your body is really struggling. HTMA reads what's happening at the tissue level over the past three months. We've had clients with completely normal bloodwork whose HTMA showed a burned-out adrenal pattern, severely elevated copper, and a sodium-to-potassium ratio that explained every symptom they'd been dismissed for. Normal bloodwork doesn't mean balanced. It just means your blood is doing its job.
"Is HTMA actually legit?" +
HTMA has been used in functional and integrative practice for decades. It's not new and it's not fringe. What it is, is underused in conventional medicine — which is why your doctor probably hasn't mentioned it. We've run this test with thousands of clients and the patterns we see are consistent, specific, and genuinely useful. The key is working with someone who knows how to read it in the context of acne specifically. That's exactly what you're getting here. Your results are reviewed by a licensed clinician and walked through by a KSW acne nutritionist trained in this work.
"Is this just going to tell me I need to take zinc?" +
No. Mineral levels matter — but they're only part of the picture. What tells us the most is the ratios. How your minerals relate to each other shows us how your body systems are actually operating. Your stress response. Your thyroid function. Your adrenal load. Your hormone production and clearance. Your detox capacity. A single level in isolation gives us a piece of the story. The full mineral picture — levels and ratios together — gives us the whole thing. That's what we're reading.
"What if my results look fine?" +
We've run thousands of these tests and not a single one has ever come back normal. There is always something in the mineral picture worth looking at. Always a ratio that tells us something. Always a pattern that connects to what's happening with your skin. Even results that look relatively balanced on the surface will show us an oxidation rate, a stress response, a detox capacity. We're reading a full mineral landscape — not just scanning for red flags.
"Can't I just order the test online myself?" +
You can get the raw data. But HTMA results without trained interpretation are genuinely confusing. We've seen people come to us after going the DIY route and supplementing in completely the wrong direction based on what they thought their results meant. In some cases they made things worse. What you're getting with this package isn't just the test. It's a KSW acne nutritionist who has read hundreds of these results specifically through the lens of skin, hormones, and gut health — with all results reviewed by a licensed clinician before your session.
"Who is this for?" +
HTMA is appropriate for almost anyone dealing with chronic acne — adults, teens, men, women, and kids over the age of 5. The mineral patterns we look at are relevant across all ages and all bodies. Our focus at KSW is acne, so the lens we bring to your results is specifically about skin — but the test itself gives us a picture of the whole person, not just one symptom.
"Is this only for acne?" +
Acne is our focus, yes. But HTMA looks at your whole mineral picture — which means it will also give us insight into whatever else is going on with you. Fatigue, irregular cycles, hair loss, bloating, anxiety, slow thyroid. The body is connected. If you're dealing with more than just your skin, this test will likely have something to say about that too. We'll look at all of it in your consultation.
"Are follow-ups available after my consultation?" +
Yes. After your consultation you'll receive a link to book a follow-up session with us if you want to go deeper on your results or check in on your progress. And if you're ready for more hands-on support, you'll also have the option to upgrade to our full coaching program where we work with you over time on everything showing up in your results. The package stands on its own — and there's a clear path forward if you want it.
"How much hair do I need to cut?" +
You need enough to cover a 1.5 inch square, cut close to the scalp. Full instructions are sent to you after purchase. No salon visit, no special tools, and nobody is going to notice. If you have very short or chemically treated hair, we'll walk you through the best approach for your situation. Fingernail clippings are also an option if hair collection isn't possible, though hair is preferred for the most accurate results.
You've waited long enough

You don't need to try harder. You need better information.

The HTMA Testing Package gives you a real look at what's actually driving your acne. Not another protocol to follow blindly. Not another supplement to guess at. A test, a consultation, and a plan built entirely around what your body is actually showing us.
