Curious if you've ever done a hair follicle mineral test to check for mineral deficiencies? We've been working through the book, "Finally Focused", to help our son. Magnesium supplementation is recommendation #1, Iron supplementation (if deficient as demonstrated by the test) and then the over-the-counter, lithium orotate. We haven't gotten further than chapter 3, yet.

I like this idea. Do you have a source for a company that will do this? Or does it require a doctors office visit?

This is the one we ordered. We haven’t administered it yet. https://arltma.com/hairanalysis/

The lab doesn’t sell directly so you have to order it through a wellness center.
