Barton shares his personal journey of battling short-term memory loss and brain fogginess, which led him to discover his own mineral deficiencies. This health crisis became the catalyst for creating Upgraded Formulas. With his background in chemical engineering, Barton developed a line of nano mineral supplements designed for high bioavailability, allowing them to be effectively absorbed at the cellular level.

Tracy and Barton delve into a conversation about the critical role of minerals as the foundational building blocks of the body. They discuss how modern agricultural practices have led to depleted soils and, consequently, nutrient-deficient food. The discussion also covers the significant impact of minerals on sleep quality, nervous system regulation, and managing stress. Barton explains the science behind his nanotechnology, which creates mineral particles small enough to bypass digestive issues and directly nourish the cells. They also touch on the importance of testing for mineral deficiencies through hair analysis to create a targeted approach to supplementation and the story behind the creation of the 'Upgraded Mood' product.

Tune in to this enlightening episode to understand how optimizing your mineral intake can profoundly affect your overall health and well-being.
