Meet John Bumpus, a dedicated practitioner specializing in Mineral balancing and natural detoxification. As a Naturopath and hair Tissue Mineral Analysis Practitioner (hTMAP), he has established himself as an expert in his field. John is not only the founder of the Mineral Balancing Academy but also holds the prestigious position of Senior Fellow at the Society of Natural Therapists and Researchers (see certificates below).

John's unique perspective centers around the concept of the "inner physician," reminding us that our bodies possess a remarkable ability to heal themselves. He emphasizes the importance of nourishing and balancing our mineral levels to unlock our true potential. Drawing from scientific literature, traditional wisdom, and evidence-based nutrition, John's approach is research-focused, practical, and sustainable for long-term health.

In his early years, John found inspiration from influential figures like David Wolfe, Dr. Terry Willard, and Dr. Richard Olree, who introduced him to the world of natural healing through herbs and minerals. It was David Wolfe who recognized John's potential and certified him as a nutrition coach, setting him on the path to helping others.

Everything changed when he met with Dr. Joel Wallach at a nutritional seminar that truly transformed John's perspective. Through this encounter, he not only deepened his understanding of the vital role vitamins and minerals play in health and longevity, but he also recognized their significance in all biological processes. This realization ignited John's passion, leading him to distribute supplements with Youngevity and witness firsthand the transformative power of vitamins, minerals, and dietary changes in people of all ages.

Despite his valuable experiences, John knew that there was more to achieving optimal health than simply relying on supplements. It was during this time that Dr. Wallach introduced John to Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), a method that identifies the cellular status of minerals, providing crucial insights. Over the next few years, John delved into the works of Dr. Paul Eck, Dr. David Watts, and Dr. Lawrence Wilson, studying under the latter and gaining expertise in Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis and Nutritional Balancing Science.

By combining his diverse certifications and ongoing education, John developed the Integrative Mineral Balancing Program, a comprehensive approach that he offers to his clients today. He has also contributed his expertise to editing Dr. Richard Olree's highly anticipated book, "Chiropractor's Metabolomic Handbook of Cerebrospinal Fluid." Furthermore, John is currently working on his own textbook and course focused on hair tissue mineral analysis, intending to educate other health professionals in providing nutrition-based assistance.

Active in the online health community since 2013, John generously shares his knowledge and experience in various holistic and alternative health groups on social media. He takes pride in running the group "Mineral Balancing Friends" and hosts a monthly live call, offering valuable insights to those interested. Additionally, John is a member of Longecity, an organization dedicated to life extension research.

John's educational background is equally impressive. He holds a Bachelor of Holistic Health Science from the International Quantum University of Integrative Medicine. While he continues to pursue further education, his aspirations include obtaining a master's degree in natural medicine, a doctorate in alternative medicine, and a PhD in natural medicine.

Thanks to his expertise and extensive background in nutrition and natural health, John is in high demand as a consultant and speaker in the field. He has founded mineralbalancing.org, a platform that explores various topics related to nutrition, including mineral balancing, vitamins, minerals, and diet.

In his leisure time, John indulges in reading scientific articles, cultivating his garden, and foraging for wild plants and medicinal mushrooms. Furthermore, he selflessly volunteers for local bush-care groups, participating in initiatives such as tree planting for Koala re-habitation. He lives in Southern Queensland, Australia with his wife Erin and daughter Fern.
