Dr Robert Selig | Breaking Down Calcium and Calcification
Calcium is essential for muscle, nerve, and metabolic function—yet wellness culture often treats calcium like a calcification time bomb. On this Integrative Thoughts episode, Dr. Robert Selig of Back To Natural Health (Chicago) rejoins Matthew Coffman to explain why soft-tissue calcification is usually a mineral-regulation problem, how HTMA reads calcium with magnesium, sodium–potassium, copper, and zinc, and why digestion, toxins, and heavy metals matter as much as any single supplement.

Key takeaways:
- Calcium is foundational physiology—not a wellness scapegoat.
- Calcification tracks regulation/utilization more than “took calcium once.”
- Always read calcium with magnesium and the wider HTMA matrix.
- Microdose and pace sensitive clients; capacity before intensity.
- Kids’ zinc, liquid forms, and Na/K ratios are high-leverage clinical details.
