True energy starts at the cellular level. Barton Scott reveals how balancing minerals, mastering absorption, and using nanotechnology can restore focus, mood, and vitality far beyond what diet or supplements alone can do.

A chemical engineer turned nutritionist, Barton founded Upgraded Formulas after losing his mother and realizing that supplements, diets, and testing were all failing to show real results. In this conversation, he shares how nanotechnology changed mineral absorption, why hair testing reveals far more than bloodwork, and how understanding mineral ratios like sodium-to-potassium or zinc-to-copper can help unlock focus, mood, and resilience.

We talk about how nutrient precision connects to mental clarity, hormonal balance, and even personality itself, and why health optimization is impossible without mastering mineral intelligence. Barton also opens up about his unique path from wrestling to engineering, Latin dance, and building one of the most advanced nutritional testing companies in the world.
