Lewis Moon | Examining Oxidation Rates on HTMA
Can HTMA oxidation rates explain cravings, kids' nutrition, and why two labs disagree on the same hair chart? On this Integrative Thoughts episode, Lewis Moon—Life Labs HTMA, Hair Analysis App, Valence Nutraceuticals—joins Matthew Coffman on metabolic typing, copper, adrenals, and pattern-based mineral balancing.

- Oxidation rate is a practical lens for how the body burns food for energy.
- Kids thrive with low-stress homes and solid mineral foundations (including zinc).
- Cravings often signal nutritional needs.
- Lab camps calculate oxidation differently—know your system.
- Copper and calcium/D3 debates need context, not slogans.
Q: What is an HTMA oxidation rate?
A: Oxidation rate (metabolic typing on hair analysis) describes how quickly the body tends to burn food for energy/ATP. Lewis discusses why that lens matters for cravings, adrenals, and individualized nutrition.
A: A mineral balancing practitioner, Hair Analysis App developer, and co-founder of Life Labs HTMA and Valence Nutraceuticals, trained in nutritional balancing science.
