What are symptoms of heavy metal exposure?
Symptoms vary by metal and amount, and may include fatigue, headaches, stomach upset, numbness or tingling, and memory or mood changes. Many people have no symptoms, which is why exposure history matters.
How is heavy metal exposure tested?
Testing may use blood, urine or other samples, depending on the metal and the type of exposure. Your naturopathic doctor will explain which test fits your situation.
What happens if my levels are high?
We help you find and remove the source and support your health. If levels are high, we refer you to a medical doctor for further assessment and treatment.
Should my children be tested?
Children are more sensitive to lead. If you are concerned about exposure in your home, speak to your family doctor or pediatrician.
