You’re not lacking discipline.

You’re lacking data. If your energy, metabolism, or hormones feel “off” but your labs say you’re fine—this is when we need to look deeper.

Because: Your body can only compensate for so long… before it breaks.

Baseline Insights is your foundational lab experience.

We use Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) to assess how your body is functioning at a cellular level over time, not just in a single moment.

HTMA helps explain patterns behind:

  • Low energy

  • Energy crashes after meals

  • Sugar cravings

  • Brain fog

  • Poor stress tolerance

  • Sleep disruption (especially early waking)

  • Hair loss / thinning hair

  • Weight resistance

  • Hormonal fluctuations

  • Feeling “wired but tired”

  • Heart palpations

  • Constipation

  • Migraines or headaches

  • Poor digestion

HTMA can also help identify patterns related to:

  • Blood sugar balance

  • Energy production & fatigue patterns

  • Stress response (adrenals / nervous system)

  • Thyroid activity (metabolic pace)

  • Hormonal balance trends

  • Mineral deficiencies & imbalances

  • Detoxification capacity

  • Electrolyte balance (hydration, cellular function)

  • Chronic stress patterns (wired vs depleted)

  • Metabolic efficiency (fast vs slow oxidation)

  • Heavy metal exposure trends (chronic, low-level)

Why Ratios Matter More Than Single Minerals

Your body is constantly working to stay in balance—this is called homeostasis.

It’s not just about how much of a single mineral you have, but how those minerals work together.

In an HTMA, we look closely at mineral ratios. These ratios give us deeper insight into how your body is functioning beneath the surface.

Each ratio reflects a specific system in your body—such as your stress response, thyroid activity, blood sugar regulation, or immune balance.

When a ratio moves too high or too low, it can signal that a system is under strain or not functioning optimally.


This is what allows us to identify where your body may be compensating—and where it needs support.

What + Why HTMA

Edward Gogek, M.D.

HTMA shows how the body's energy system is out of balance & how to use nutrition and diet to correct it. Once the body's energy and stamina are restored, it can often heal other problems on its own.

What can you learn from an HTMA test?

  1. Stage of stress and stress levels

  2. Metabolic Type

  3. Immune System

  4. Adrenal and Thyroid Glandular Activity

  5. Carbohydrate Tolerance

  6. Energy levels

  7. Eating enough protein or too many carbs

  8. Tendencies for 30+ illnesses, often before they manifest

  9. Personality Tendencies

  10. How your body responds to long-term stress, which may be influenced by past trauma

Get to the “why” behind your symptoms—and we’ll create a plan that’s actually built around what your body needs

so you can:

✽ Understand what’s driving your symptoms (and how to support your body, not just manage them)


✽ Nourish your body with more confidence and clarity

✽ Support your metabolism, stress resilience and hormones with precision


✽ Rebuild energy, clarity, and stability


Feel seen, validated, and supported with a plan that feels doable (not overwhelming)






How it Works

STEP ONE

Test Kit Delivered
Your HTMA kit is sent directly to your home. Simple instructions.

STEP TWO

Lab Analysis
Your sample is mailed in, analyzed to assess mineral patterns, ratios, and trends over time.

We interpret patterns and write up and record detailed lab review results + recommendations and connect the dots between your symptoms and what’s really going on in your body.

STEP THREE

1:1 Deep Dive Consult
A 75-minute consultation where we:

  • Break down your HTMA results and health history

  • Connect them to your symptoms

  • Identify your primary imbalances

  • We will create your individualized 90 day nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle protocol based on your results + history

No generic advice.

STEP FOUR

Ongoing Support (30 Days)
You have direct access for:

  • 30 days of unlimited chat support

  • Questions

  • Adjustments

  • App access to review + download your recorded HTMA results and 90 day protocol

And if you decide you want more support?

You’ll get a $275 credit toward our signature program, Baseline Balance or Baseline Intensive. No pressure—just a next step if you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) is a non-invasive test that analyzes a small sample of hair to assess your body’s mineral levels and stress patterns. It gives us a unique look at how your body is functioning on a cellular level—helping us uncover things like adrenal fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, metabolic type and more.

  • Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or schedule a call—we’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

  • We combine a thoughtful, human-centered approach with clear communication and reliable results. It’s not just what we do—it’s how we do it that sets us apart.

  • Nope. We’re not here to sell you on a medicine cabinet full of pills. Your practitioner may recommend a few targeted supplements, but your protocol will focus first on foundational shifts with food, lifestyle, and stress support that make a meaningful difference.

  • Once your sample is received by the lab, it usually takes about 1–2 weeks for results to come in and then your practitioner writes up a thorough but easily digestible lab results + recommendations to walk through during your consult.

  • Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. We're here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving.
