Episode #480: Upgraded Formula’s Barton Scott, Part One

Watch the YouTube episode, here!

Barton Scott is a biochemist, nutritionist, researcher, and founder/process developer of Upgraded Formulas.

Barton is passionate about helping people address the stress of daily life, sleep struggles, hormone issues, fatigue, and the nutrient absorption issues that we all face. Upgraded Formulas also supports Charitywater.org in the great work they do.

In today’s episode, we discuss how mineral absorption issues are holding you back, causing low energy level, poor sleep quality, how they affect your adrenal and thyroid function, as well as viral and even bacterial susceptibility, sex hormones, for both men and women – and what to do about it!
