In this episode of Integrative Medicine with Dr. Leland Stillman, Dr. Stillman welcomes Clark Engelbert, a longtime collaborator and expert in mineral balancing, to discuss his powerful journey of healing from anxiety, depression, and pharmaceutical dependence. Clark shares how his early life was marked by a supportive upbringing but took a turn in college due to stress, partying, and lifestyle choices that led to severe panic attacks and repeated ER visits. Conventional medicine failed to provide solutions beyond psychiatric medications, which only deepened his struggles. Searching for answers, Clark eventually discovered the world of holistic healing, leading him to mineral balancing, a transformative approach that helped him regain his mental and physical health.

Dr. Stillman and Clark dive deep into the science of hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) and its role in uncovering mineral imbalances and heavy metal toxicity—factors often overlooked in conventional medicine. Clark recounts how targeted supplementation, based on mineral testing, helped him eliminate toxic metals like nickel and aluminum, dramatically improving his mental clarity and emotional stability. They discuss the importance of personalized health interventions and contrast their approach with mainstream medicine’s reliance on pharmaceuticals, which frequently mask symptoms rather than address root causes. Through this lens, the episode explores the interconnectedness of mineral balance, emotional well-being, and overall health.

To conclude, Dr. Stillman and Clark introduce their in-depth HTMA training program, designed for health professionals and individuals interested in mastering the art of mineral balancing. They emphasize the need for proper education in this field to avoid common pitfalls and highlight the power of consistent, individualized interventions. Whether you are struggling with chronic health issues, looking to deepen your understanding of integrative medicine, or considering a career in holistic health, this episode offers invaluable insights into a science-backed yet often overlooked approach to healing. Tune in to discover the power of restoring mineral balance to unlocking long-term health and vitality.
