A simple, at-home hair test that screens for toxic metal exposure and evaluates your body’s time-averaged status of key nutrient minerals. Just 0.25 grams of hair provides a window into both recent and ongoing exposures — including mercury, arsenic, and other toxic metals — as well as your mineral balance.
Non-invasive and cost-effective, this test is a practical way to monitor environmental exposures and nutritional trends over time.
What’s Included:
Doctor’s Data Hair Elements profile: essential + toxic elements
Option to expand to Hair Toxic Element Exposure profile: broader screening for additional toxic metals
Why It Matters:

These functional lab tests are designed to provide meaningful insights into your health and support greater awareness of potential imbalances. While they can be a powerful tool for wellness exploration, they are not a substitute for medical diagnosis, treatment, or care. Purchasing a lab test does not establish a doctor-patient relationship. Personalized interpretation and health recommendations are available through a separately scheduled consultation. If you reside in Oregon or Washington and wish to establish medical care, you may do so through a Comprehensive New Patient Appointment via the Book Now link. For all other medical needs, please consult your personal healthcare provider.
