Heavy Metal Toxicity
We live in an environment where we are constantly exposed to elements of heavy metals through the air.
A Consequence of Industrialisation
This is as a consequence of industrialisation, and in various decades there have been different metals that have been more prominent - historically mercury (from dental amalgams) and lead (from paint and petrol), with aluminium a more recent area of interest.
Symptoms Sometimes Associated with Heavy Metal Exposure
A wide range of symptoms have been associated with heavy metal exposure in some individuals, including fatigue, poor exercise recovery, skin irritation, brain fog or difficulty concentrating, low mood, sleep disturbance, and digestive complaints.
These symptoms can have many different causes, so a proper assessment is needed before drawing any conclusions about heavy metal exposure specifically.
Our Approach
Where heavy metal exposure is a relevant consideration, any treatment approach is customised to your individual symptoms and circumstances, ranging from oral support through to intravenous options where appropriate.
