So many of us have gone to our doctors, gotten blood work and told that everything looks fine…but we still don’t feel fine. Could your blood work be lying to you? In today’s episode, Samantha’s joined by Barton Scott, a biochemist and the founder and developer of Upgraded Formulas, a wellness company focused on identifying deficiencies and mineral products that are easily absorbed into your cells. Barton breaks down how and why minerals contribute to our overall health and why hair tissue analysis—not bloodwork—is the best way to get a truly accurate depiction of your mineral levels.

In this episode of The Wellness Witch Podcast:

• How Barton’s mother’s sickness led him to make supplements
• What are minerals and why do they matter so much?
• Why hair tissue analysis is better than bloodwork
• The distinction between quality and absorption 
• Addressing the iodine and Hashimoto’s controversy 
• Barton’s thoughts on iron supplementation
