Restore Optimal Balance
The Mineral & Metals Test will give you clear insight into possible adrenal dysfunction as well as help you discover early warning signs of heavy metal toxicity by analyzing a hair sample. Minerals are key for overall good health and are often overlooked. In fact, imbalances of essential minerals like iron, magnesium and potassium can not only cause fatigue but could possibly be an indicator of more serious health issues over time. Toxins can't be avoided, and we are exposed to heavy metals in our daily environment. From the food you eat, air or water pollution, certain medicines, food containers with a harmful coating, personal care products we use on our skin and in our homes can all contain harmful chemicals and increase our toxic load. Arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury are among four of the most common heavy metals that can cause health challenges. A certified health coach will explain your lab results and armed with a plan to restore mineral imbalances and remove accumulated toxicities, you'll be on the path to better manage stress, improve your energy levels, enjoy more restful sleep and a balanced mood.
At-Home Lab Benefits
Testing your essential mineral levels and potential toxic metal exposure can provide valuable insight into the underlying reasons why you feel overly stressed, anxious or overwhelmed, experience highs/lows in energy, skin rashes, headaches, poor sleep, mood disturbances or even learning difficulties in children. Taking a close look at iron, magnesium and potassium can help uncover the root causes of fatigue and poor stress management. In addition, assessing toxic heavy metal levels can identify if you have been exposed to high levels of mercury, cadmium, arsenic and aluminum that can cause a wide range of health related challenges. Hair testing reveals key information about your level of metabolic activity; unlike blood, hair is less susceptible to the homeostatic mechanisms that quickly affect trace element levels and long-term deviations of mineral retention or losses are more easily detected in hair. This Mineral & Metals Test will identify key mineral imbalances and assess your toxic metal exposure, providing pertinent information about metabolic rate, energy levels and stage of stress using a simple hair sample.
