In this course you will learn to understand hair mineral analysis results. In this introduction we will discuss key terms and ideas.
Barton Scott, the founder of Upgraded Formulas, will walk you through understanding what is the best tool for diagnostic overall health and biohacking mineral balance for optimized wellness and performance. Once completed, you will be certified to analyze mineral hair test results.
In this module we discuss the effects of toxic elements such as lead and mercury in the body, how to remove them, and we dive into the role minerals play in digestion.
This can be one of the more confusing parts of hair mineral analysis. As we become healthier, heavy metals that have been within us, sometimes for decades, can come to the surface.
Whether they are accumulated through air pollution, the food we eat, or the chemicals we are exposed to in life, this module help you understand how to read the results from a hair mineral analysis test and eliminate these toxic elements.
In this module we discuss the relationship between Calcium and Phosphorous in the body.
These significant ratios are the most important part of understanding hair mineral analysis tests. The ideal ratio is 2.6 to 1. In other words, there should be 2.6 times more calcium relative to phosphorus found in the hair.
This module will explain how this ratio affects the parasympathetic nervous system and endocrine system.
In this module we discuss the relationship between Sodium and Potassium in the body.
This is one of the most important ratios in the body and has been called the vitality index. When someone is below 1.3 in this ratio they may experience emotional disturbances, low energy, and adrenal fatigue.
This module explains how nutrition can affect our personalities and quality of life.
In this module we discuss the relationship between Calcium and Potassium in the body.
This can be thought of as the thyroid ratio. The ideal ratio is 4.2 to 1. Calcium is affected by several hormones and is considered to be under parasympathetic control. Therefore, the hormone cascade that affects the retention of calcium also affects thyroid expression.
In this module we discuss the relationship between Zinc and Copper in the body.
This ratio is tied into our expression of masculine and feminine traits. For an ideal, optimal lifestyle we need balance of this ratio, regardless of someone’s gender and sexual expression.
The ideal ratio between zinc and copper is 8 to 1 with an acceptable range from 4 to 12. These minerals are very important for healthy production of testosterone and estrogen.
In this module we discuss the relationship between Sodium and Magnesium in the body.
This ratio is important for our adrenal glands. The ideal ratio is 4 to 1 with an acceptable range from 2 to 6.
When this ratio is out of balance it can cause a stress response and bring unnecessary stress and fatigue into our lives.
In this module we discuss the relationship between Calcium and Magnesium in the body.
This ratio is essential for understanding insulin levels and blood sugar. The ideal ratio is 7 to 1 with an acceptable range from 3 to 11. Calcium and magnesium are regulated by the parathyroid, thyroid, and estrogen, as well as through renal function.
When this ratio is in balance the body will function well and be protected from heavy metal accumulation.
In this module we discuss the relationship between Iron and Copper in the body.
The ideal ratio is 0.9 to 1 with an acceptable range from 0.2 to 1.6. Iron and copper are responsible for cellular respiration as well as electron transport. Therefore, a disruption in their equilibrium can lead to serious consequences in normal cellular activity.
When this ratio is in balance we prevent chronic bacterial infections, iron deficiency, neurological dysfunctions, and increased free radical production.
In this module we cover the relationships of the protective nutrient minerals relative to the heavy metals.
Calcium, iron, selenium, zinc, and sulfur are minerals that can protect against the harms of heavy metals however since heavy metals such as lead and arsenic don’t belong in the body, there is no beneficial amount to these metals.
This is an incredibly important module to help you and your clients understand which minerals we can adjust to stay healthy and optimal.
In this module we take everything we’ve learned and apply it to analyze a real hair test, a woman named Tara.
Take a look at Tara’s results alongside Barton to interpret the hair mineral analysis results. Tara is a hard-charging athletic woman who wants the most out of life. By looking at the data we’ll be able to recommend which minerals she needs more of, and less of, to be her best self.
In this module we take everything we’ve learned and apply it to analyze a real hair test, a woman named Karissa.
Karissa is a young woman and an entrepreneur who works with Tony Robbins. She has low magnesium and sodium levels from putting out so much energy on stage.
In this module we take a look at her ratios to put together a game plan for a more optimized mineral balance.
In this module we take everything we’ve learned and apply it to analyze a real hair test, the founder of Upgraded Formulas himself, Barton Scott!
At the time Barton had hidden copper toxicity as revealed from the hair test and multiple areas for wellness improvements.
In conclusion, we tie everything together so you can feel confident interpreting mineral hair analysis test results.

Our Story & Passion
Upgraded Formulas is a company focused on identifying and optimizing mineral deficiencies.
Based on a new category of supplementation called Stabilized Nano Minerals along with hair testing to increase healthspan, focus, sleep quality, and slow down accelerated aging.
Our mission is to support you and your family by creating, highly effective dietary supplements that are absorbed better by the body than any other products on the market today.

Our supplements help you actually absorb nutrients the way you were meant to. So you can live a healthier, happier, more productive life.
These supplements are directly absorbed into the body’s cells immediately because they bypass digestion completely for a massive improvement in absorption over regular liquids, pills, and powders.
This is a new approach.

We are in the business of creating mineral products that optimize and maximize the power of the human body and mind when given a form that the body can understand.
We have accomplished this while keeping our products free of all the flavors and fillers, the artificial colors, and stabilizers common in other brands’ products. Fillers clog up your system and make you feel tired or sluggish, instead of happy, clear-headed and energized.
