As many of you know, I feel strongly that we all need to include detoxing into our health plans.
Even if you are cautious of the foods you eat, the beauty products you put onto your body, and the chemicals in your home environment, there are still thousands of toxins you are exposed to that you cannot avoid.
Heavy metals fall into this category.
Where do you get heavy metals from?
Too many places to count.
Heavy metals are found in the soils your food is grown in, your beauty products, your water, and old homes.
Lead is stored in the tissues of your body, especially your bones. Lead will leach out of your bones at the time of greatest hormonal change or as you age and the bone breaks down and demineralizes. Lead is also a metal that will get passed down through the generations.
Mercury is introduced to your body from dental fillings, fish, and flu shots.
Aluminum exposure happens with cookware, deodorant, medications and certain vaccines.
All these metals bio-accumulate in your body. One exposure doesn’t harm your health, but small repeated exposures do.
What symptoms do metals cause?
Ones that you wouldn’t suspect.
Once in your bloodstream, metals tend to migrate up to the brain. There are only two places in your brain that are not protected by a blood brain barrier: your pituitary and your hypothalamus.
When metals accumulate in your pituitary and hypothalamus, they start to mess with your sleep, hormones, and moods.
They also sit in your gut, changing the ph of your gut lining. This allows fungus, bad bacteria, and parasites to thrive in your gut.
What can you do about it?
The first step is to test yourself. There are many ways to test. But a provoked urine test is considered the most helpful when evaluating metals stored in your tissues.
Many of you have reached out to us asking about our heavy metal detox, how we test, and how to ascertain if metals are the source of your problem. I created the video posted below to answer all those questions.
This is a subject you are going to hear about in the world of health more and more over time. It truly is the source of many unanswered health problems. Please reach out if you have any questions.
As always, I hope that helps!
Hi Dr Pelz,
There’s no date in this post, so not sure when your discount for heavy metal testing and consult is available.
I’ve been thinking about getting heavy metal testing done for about 3 years but there’s a lot of conflicting information on how to best test and safely detox eg. Once the metals are out of the bones and organs how to then effectively flush them from the body. I didn’t know where to start. Your video broke The first steps down and I have a better understanding of where to start. I’ve spent thousands of dollars getting so many tests done to investigate memory challenges and low energy, which were at their worst 3 years ago and I’ve had significant improvement but I’d still like to see if removing metals can help further. I’m 37 y/o female, gluten free and vegan (except honey), from Canada. I’ve recently started fasting and lost some weight. I’ve seen many alternative practitioners Over the years but can’t get quite back to where I should be.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi there!
Yes, absolutely detoxing needs to be done in a methodical way in order for the organs to be ready to handle it– that is absolutely part of our process!
