Founder / Instructor of the Mineral Mastery Program
With the vital role that mineral imbalances (and toxic metals) have on health, and yet these connections so poorly taught in mainstream academia, Rick developed and launched the Mineral Mastery Program in 2017 to advance training for wellness practitioners as well as to empower the general public with health information and answers rarely provided elsewhere. Mineral Mastery is the original and leading mineral-based health education program, spearheading the movement in mineral-based health training, with this education having now been adopted by numerous nutrition and health practices, institutions, and clinics across the globe.
“The missing link in all the training I have done." ~Tracy Richardson, BSc., MSc.
“This information can save millions of lives." ~Crystal M.
“It's courses like this that will change the world." ~Nicola Diepdael, Holistic Nutritionist, FDN-P
North America's First to Combine HTMA with dnaPower
Incorporating DNA information alongside a person’s HTMA data provides a deeper level of insight and analysis for clients. Beyond the genetic predispositions to imbalances and health risks, the HTMA shows what’s actually happening in the body today, and where specific nutritional support needs to be given. Combing DNA and HTMA data allows for nutritional and epigenetic guidance to be more proactive and customized, and helps better identify both causes as well as solutions.
Rick is the first in North America to combine personalized HTMA testing with dnaPower genetic testing for health.
"The guidance provided is exceptional. My honest first thought was why I have not done this 10 years ago. It explains scientifically why I have the health issues and how I can control the real cause." ~Gabriela
A Global Authority on Copper Toxicity
After witnessing the devastation of copper toxicity on the health of a loved one, paired with the widespread medical ignorance surrounding proper and safe testing and treatment, Rick founded www.coppertoxic.com as a hub for bringing forth the research and making this information more accessible to the public. Since 2014, CopperToxic.com has stood as the leading advocacy, education, and support website for the epidemic of copper toxicity.
"Thank you for the amazing contribution you have made. Your website coppertoxic.com is a critical part of my practice. It's the go-to place for my patients.” ~Abdul Saad (MPsych-Clin)
"CopperToxic.com gave me back so much of my mental health, and I'll forever be grateful."
~Farah Helgerson
Co-Founder of the Annual HTMA Summit
Originating from Rick Fischer and clinical HTMA pioneer Dr Malter organizing a private collective of leading mineral experts meeting in person each year in Arizona, Rick went on to co-found the annual HTMA Virtual Summit as a way to bring expert insights to a wider audience.
The HTMA Summit provides excellence and leadership in HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) based health education and is committed to bringing together the global industry leaders to share their knowledge, decades of research and experience, and the latest breakthroughs.
"Super informative, fantastic speakers - each and every one of them - with a really diverse angle to shed new light on HTMA. Really appreciate allowing people to learn about such an important key approach to health and healing". ~Linn Einde
Author: The Complete Copper Toxicity Handbook
‘The Complete Copper Toxicity Handbook’ brings together the past 50 years of scientific research and clinical findings, providing easy-to-read clarity to the What, Why, and How of copper toxicity. What it is and What it causes... Why it occurs and Why it's not more widely recognized... How to test for it and How to address it.
"This book is both courageous & groundbreaking. A must-read for any woman on birth control, and their partners. The significance of this information reaching the mainstream collective consciousness is of the utmost importance in saving lives. Immensely eye-opening!"
~Susan Shatzer, 7-time #1 International Bestselling Author
"Rick Fischer is an outstanding teacher of HTMA concepts and principles. He is also truly the expert on copper toxicity which has become more and more of an epidemic health issue with each passing decade. His work provides a solid foundation for advancing a person's understanding of the vital importance of minerals related to good health.
Rick Fischer has made outstanding contributions to advancing the field of HTMA, minerals, and our understanding of the profound adverse effects of copper toxicity.
I don't know of any college, university, or medical research center that even comes close to the body of copper information that he has brought together. His research, work, and practical HTMA clinical experience is clearly doctoral level and even post-doctoral level in achievement excellence."
~Dr. Malter, PhD, Clin.Psych. (retd.)
Pioneering expert on copper toxicity and the clinical application of HTMA in mental health
Please note that Rick is not a medical doctor. Rick provides natural health protocols (based on HTMA data) that aim to address mineral-based imbalances in the body.
These often manifest as symptoms such as fatigue, digestive issues, depression, anxiety, hormone imbalance, insomnia, etc...conditions of which the root cause often remains a mystery to conventional practitioners. The goal here is to educate, improve awareness, and promote wellness through personalized guidance. Working with Rick does not create a "doctor-patient relationship".
