What if your body is trying to talk to you — through fatigue, brain fog, skin, even hair — and you’ve been missing the language?
In this episode, Barton draws us into the moment when his mother’s health began to slip and how that crisis ignited his mission. From growing up in the Louisiana wilderness to pursuing chemical engineering, he found himself wrestling — literally and metaphorically — with hidden nutritional deficiencies that no standard lab test would reveal.
We journey together as Barton describes getting “confused, figuratively and literally,” despite fitness and academic success. He paints the pivotal moment when a hair analysis revealed what blood tests could not. That insight became the launchpoint for his wellness company, where he now helps people decode their biology — sometimes even for bald listeners using underarm or pubic hair samples — and empowers doctors and nutritionists to bring nutrient intelligence into their practices.
You’ll hear how symptoms can become allies, why “medication isn’t magic,” and how client recommendations sometimes go beyond his own products because serving must come before selling. Barton even teases upcoming clinical trials, he discusses bridging to functional medicine, and shares his philosophy: every human being deserves to live the life they were meant for — full of energy, clarity, and impact.
This conversation is for every entrepreneur, every patient, every practitioner who longs to do business with a servant’s heart and transform health from the inside out.
P.S. If you’ve ever wondered whether your fatigue, mood, or hair tell a deeper story — you’ll want to check out Barton’s hair analysis protocol and step into a more vibrant version of yourself.
Guest Bio
Barton is a bio‑investigator and entrepreneur on a mission to restore health from the cellular level.

Today Barton co‑leads a supplement and diagnostics company that helps people and clinicians uncover hidden imbalances, craft personalized protocols, and reclaim energy, mental clarity, and purpose. He speaks, teaches, and coaches practitioners to bring this science into real lives.
