In this episode of the On a Mission podcast, we sit down with Barton Scott, the founder of Upgraded Formulas, a company that is revolutionising the way we think about our health, sleep and energy. As a former chemical engineer, Barton knows a thing or two about the importance of minerals and nutrients in our bodies. He experienced a marked decline in his energy levels and saw an emerging pattern of fatigue and brain fog. This led him to devote his life to finding a revolutionary way to become a better human being.

Barton believes that the key to optimal health lies in the careful engineering of minerals. He explains that our bodies need a wide range of minerals to function properly, and that many of us are deficient in these essential nutrients. By carefully selecting and combining the right minerals, Barton has created a range of products that can help us all to feel better, sleep better and have more energy.

But Barton's approach goes beyond just taking supplements. He believes that we need to take a more experimental and brave approach to our health. He argues that the accepted medical wisdom might be changed entirely if we were willing to try new things and take risks. By eating a nutrient and mineral-rich diet, we can give our bodies the tools they need to function at their best.

In this fascinating conversation, Barton shares his insights into the importance of minerals, the benefits of a nutrient-rich diet, and why we need to be more experimental in our approach to health. If you're looking for ways to improve your health, sleep and energy, then this is an episode you won't want to miss.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Blocking blue light helps to give our brains focus by filtering out certain wavelengths of the light spectrum that cause noise in the brain, lessening confusion, headaches, and aiding recall.
• When we reduce the number of calories we eat, we're not just restricting our energy levels, but also the levels of nutrients, macros and minerals that we consume, which is the whole point of why we eat in the first place.
• Nutrients are the overall category of things we need to nourish our body. Vitamins and minerals are two different categories within that overarching branch of nutrition.
• Your health is the fundamental keystone to life and should be treated as the foremost concern in all things. When you have real control over your health, you feel less inclined to be led by the more propagandistic branch of society that loves to dictate.

BEST MOMENTS

'Minerals activate vitamins and enzyme pathways - they give the body a lot of shortcuts'

'The diagnoses that we have fancy names for are really just a way for doctors to compartmentalise'

'I applied chemical engineering to nutrition and suddenly saw all these things that can't be true'

'What we're doing when we take control of our health is that we're taking more control back of every other aspect'
