Feel better by understanding what might be affecting your health. At Roots Wellness, we use at-home heavy metal and toxin testing to assess potential exposure, then create treatment plans that may include IV therapy or medically supervised chelation when appropriate.
Identify Harmful Metals Before Treatment
Heavy metal detox refers to treatments that address the presence of harmful levels of metals in your body, such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium, which can enter your system through contaminated food, water, air, or occupational exposure. While your body can eliminate some substances, excessive exposure may lead to health problems. We start with testing and an evaluation to understand your exposure and determine whether treatment is necessary.
Possible Signs of Heavy Metal Exposure:
- Persistent fatigue or unusual weakness
- Frequent headaches or difficulty concentrating
- Nausea, abdominal pain, or digestive discomfort
- Numbness or tingling in your hands and feet
- Muscle aches or weakness
- Changes in memory or concentration
- Kidney or liver function abnormalities
- Unexplained neurological symptoms
How Does Heavy Metal Testing Work?
At Roots Wellness, we offer convenient at-home urine testing to assess certain heavy metals and environmental toxins. You’ll receive instructions for collecting your sample and sending it to the laboratory for analysis. Once your results are ready, your provider reviews them alongside your symptoms, medical history, and possible sources of exposure. Because different metals require different testing methods, additional blood or urine tests may be recommended.
Heavy Metal Detox Treatment Options
IV Therapy
Give your body the support it needs with IV therapy. At Roots Wellness, we offer carefully selected IV nutrient and hydration treatments tailored to your health needs and biomarkers.
Chelation Therapy
Chelation therapy is a medical treatment that uses specialized medications to bind to certain heavy metals, allowing your body to eliminate them. Your provider can discuss whether it’s appropriate and arrange the necessary treatment and monitoring for you.
