Heavy Metal Testing in Denver
Toxic metals accumulate quietly over years and push out the minerals your thyroid, hormones and nervous system run on. We measure them instead of guessing.
Low-dose, long-term, easy to miss
Almost nobody arrives with a dramatic poisoning story. What we see is years of small exposures from water, dental work, cookware, seafood, cosmetics, or a job site, adding up until the body cannot keep pace. The symptoms look like a dozen other things, so metals are almost never the first thing checked. That is exactly why we check.

Metals, minerals, and your thyroid
Metals compete for the same transport sites as zinc, selenium, magnesium, and iodine. Push those out and thyroid conversion, detox capacity, and immune regulation all suffer, which is why metal burden so often shows up alongside thyroid and hormone complaints. See thyroid testing, mold and mycotoxin testing, or the full lab testing menu.

Common questions
Where would heavy metals even come from?
More places than most people expect: older plumbing, well water, dental work, certain cookware and ceramics, seafood, cosmetics, occupational exposure, and legacy contamination in soil. Exposure is usually low-dose and long-term, which is exactly why it goes unnoticed.
What does heavy metal testing involve?
We use a lab panel that screens for metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and aluminum, along with essential mineral status, since metals frequently displace the minerals your body depends on. It is a simple collection you can do at home or in the clinic.
What symptoms point toward metal burden?
Fatigue, brain fog and memory changes, tremor, headaches, numbness or tingling, mood changes, stubborn weight, hormone disruption, and immune issues that never fully resolve. None of these prove metal burden on their own, which is the point of testing.
Do you test children?
We work with families and will discuss the appropriate approach for a child during your consultation, including whether testing is warranted and which collection method fits.
What happens after testing?
You get a full review of every marker and a personalized Health Restoration Plan: mineral repletion, drainage and detox pathway support, and identifying the exposure so it stops. We do not guess, we test.
