Guest: Lewis Moon

Lewis Moon is a Mineral Balancing Practitioner & Hair Mineral Analysis App Developer.

I have a diploma in Nutritional Balancing Science and a bachelor's degree with honors in Landscape Architecture.

In 2004 I started feeling detached from reality, with 24/7 brain fog, DP/DR, terrible social anxiety, racing mind, skin problems and over 30 other symptoms.

In 2011 I came across an article by Dr Lawrence Wilson on brain fog and this is where my Mineral Balancing journey started. Little did I realize how sick and burned out I was.

Through HTMA I discovered and healed extreme adrenal burnout, chronic fight or flight, severe copper toxicity, toxic metal issues, severe liver damage from accutane and many more debilitating problems.

In 2015 I became a practitioner under Dr L Wilson until 2020 where I realized the complexity of Mineral Balancing and HTMA and how building a piece of software to analyze the tests would be very helpful for practitioners and individuals in the space.

This is where Hair Analysis App - www.hairanalysis.report was born. Used by hundreds of practitioners the app is able to generate highly detailed HTMA reports, supplement regimes and healing reports in order to aid a practitioners analysis of clients.

I currently spend most of my days improving the software and I work with a small group of clients to improve their health through Hair Analysis and Mineral Balancing.

You can find me on YouTube under the channel Life Labs HTMA.

Summary

Lewis Moon shares his personal journey of dealing with brain fog and copper toxicity. He explains the power of mineral balancing and hair analysis in addressing health issues. Lewis discusses the benefits of copper, such as its role in skin health and emotional well-being. He also delves into the mechanics of copper toxicity and how stress can impact copper utilization in the body. This conversation explores the effects of chronic stress and the transition from fast oxidation to slow oxidation and burnout. It delves into the body's survival mechanisms and the role of adrenal glands in copper metabolism. The complex relationship between copper and zinc is discussed, along with the indicators of copper toxicity on hair analysis tests. The importance of the sodium-potassium ratio and the balance between copper toxicity and deficiency are highlighted. The impact of diet, lifestyle, and EMFs on mineral levels is examined, as well as the holistic approach to mineral balancing. The timeline for balancing copper levels and managing copper dumps and healing reactions is explored. The benefits and precautions of coffee enemas and the use of urine tests to assess metal detoxification are also discussed. In this conversation, Lewis Moon discusses the importance of tissue analysis and the body's ability to eliminate toxins. He explains how hair tissue mineral analysis provides a deeper understanding of the body at a cellular level. The conversation also addresses the arguments against copper toxicity and the need for open dialogue and scientific integrity. Lewis introduces the Hair Analysis app, which aids practitioners in analyzing hair test results and provides a comprehensive understanding of mineral imbalances. The vision for the future includes a practitioner-client management system and a high-quality lab. The conversation emphasizes the importance of practitioner support and the power of technology in advancing hair analysis.

Takeaways

Mineral balancing and hair analysis can be powerful tools for addressing health issues.
Copper plays a crucial role in skin health, emotional well-being, and female reproductive health.
Copper toxicity can occur when stress overwhelms the body's buffering minerals, leading to imbalances and symptoms.
The healing journey may take time, and it's important to address underlying imbalances and support the body's natural processes.
Chronic stress can lead to a transition from fast oxidation to slow oxidation and burnout, affecting mineral levels and overall health.
The balance between copper toxicity and deficiency is complex, and it is important to consider the individual's hair analysis test results and symptoms.
Zinc plays a crucial role in overall health, and deficiencies can be caused by stress, poor diet, and lifestyle factors.
Mineral balancing is a holistic process that requires addressing multiple factors, including diet, lifestyle, detoxification, and stress management.
Copper dumps and healing reactions can occur during the mineral balancing process, and it is important to manage symptoms and support the body's detoxification pathways.
Coffee enemas can be beneficial for detoxifying the liver, but caution should be exercised during copper dumps.
Urine tests can provide valuable information about metal detoxification and help guide the mineral balancing process.
Tissue analysis provides a deeper understanding of the body's ability to eliminate toxins and the importance of cellular health.
Open dialogue and scientific integrity are crucial in the field of hair analysis to promote respectful debate and knowledge sharing.
The Hair Analysis app aids practitioners in analyzing hair test results and provides comprehensive insights into mineral imbalances.
The future of hair analysis includes the development of a practitioner-client management system and a high-quality lab.
Practitioner support is essential in navigating the complexities of the mineral balancing program, and technology can enhance the analysis process.
