Mineral Deficiencies & Heavy Metals l What HTMA Testing Can Reveal About Your Health with Matt Coffman

Renee Belz & Lauren Sambataro

Join us for this conversation with Matthew Coffman, where we dive into the powerful insights offered by Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and how it compares to standard serum testing. He explains the critical role minerals play in energy, detoxification, mental health, and chronic illness, touching on topics like electrolyte powders, vegetarian diets, sodium-potassium imbalances, and heavy metal toxicity. The conversation also covers oxidation types, the impact of alcohol and infections like parasites and SIBO on mineral levels, and the importance of tailored supplementation. Matthew also shares his personal healing journey, insights on children’s mineral needs, and thoughts on fulvic/humic acids.

Matthew Coffman is not your conventional health guru or biohacking enthusiast; his path into the world of integrative health was paved by personal adversity. In 2018, his health took a nosedive, catapulting him into a realm where conventional medicine fell short. This crisis became his catalyst, transforming him into a recognized authority in mineral nutritional balancing and an advanced practitioner of Kambo therapy.

Matthew's work extends beyond the individual; he is part-owner of Valence Nutraceuticals, a pioneering supplement brand that marries the visionary insights of Dr. Hans Napier with the foundational work of Dr. Paul Eck. Together, they're not just tweaking, but rather revolutionizing the approach to mineral balancing, offering tailored solutions for optimal health in the modern age.

As the host of the Integrative Thoughts Podcast, he bridges the gap between the esoteric and the empirical, sharing transformative knowledge with a global audience eager for alternatives to the one-size-fits-all medical model. His podcast is not just about healing; it's about empowerment, providing listeners with the tools to navigate their own health journeys.
