Lewis Moon | Copper Toxicity HTMA
Lewis Moon (Life Labs HTMA / Hair Analysis App) joins Matthew Coffman on Integrative Thoughts to discuss copper toxicity, biounavailable copper, zinc balance, and mineral balancing. Copper toxicity on HTMA is framed as often biounavailable copper, not simply “too much copper in the diet.”

- Copper toxicity on HTMA is framed as often biounavailable copper, not simply “too much copper in the diet.”
- Zinc status, adrenals, and oxidation rate interact with how copper shows up clinically.
- Stress and EMF load are discussed as co-factors alongside mineral work.
- Copper dumps and healing reactions need pacing and practitioner support.
- Educational only—not medical advice.
Q: Who is Lewis Moon?
