Mineral Optimization for Exercise Recovery, Healing, & Optimal Health w/ Barton Scott

On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, I interview an individual I met in Miami last month at Biohacking Congress. Today's guest, Barton Scott, approached me after my presentation on red light therapy and we immediately hit it off. And not just because we were like-minded individuals attending a biohacking conference. It also helped that we are both passionate about helping others heal and thrive at the foundational level -- treating the root cause versus providing the metaphorical band-aid. Where I love to advocate and utilize light, Barton is an expert in and proponent of optimizing mineral levels. He has an intriguing story of how his health journey led him down a path that eventually led him to founding Upgraded Formulas, one of the most trusted companies for mineral supplementation. As we all know, it's an n = 1 game when it comes to personalized health, but I think Barton says it best: "Test, Don't Guess!"

Barton is a biochemist, founder, nutritionist, and a researcher. For the last 6 years, Barton has been the founder and process developer behind Upgraded Formulas. Supplements at Upgraded Formulas are absorbed into the body’s cells quickly due to the particle size and proprietary stability mechanisms; they largely bypass digestion for an enhanced improvement in absorption over regular liquids, pills and powders, which means increased effectiveness for you despite smaller doses. Barton is passionate about helping people address the stressors of daily life: poor sleep, hormone issues, low energy, the toxicity of the modern world, the extreme lack of nutrients in our food and soil, and the nutrient absorption issues. Barton is one smart cookie and will broaden your knowledge in one of the most foundational pillars as it pertains to health​: minerals. Listen, learn and enjoy!
