The results of your health assessment have identified specific signs and symptoms that are clinically consistent with an increased risk of


  • Heavy Metal Toxicity 


Exposure to heavy metals has been associated with a range of conditions and symptoms, which have been clinically verified to include


  • Autoimmune Disorders 

  • Immune Suppression - Chronic Infections

  • Anxiety 

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder - ASD

  • Attention deficit Hyperactive Disorder - ADHD

  • Cognitive disorganisation

  • Mood Disorders 

  • Memory Impairments

  • Neurological Disorders


This investigation is optional and may be used to verify the need for heavy metal detoxification. In the absence of testing for heavy metals, management is not included in the treatment plan, unless otherwise indicated. 


If testing is undertaken, the assessment will be re-evaluated in accordance with the test results. You will be updated with the test results alongside any treatment revisions necessary.

A hair collection kit will be dispatched to you via post, including detailed instructions for sample collection. A pre-paid return package will be provided to facilitate secure and timely shipment of the specimen back to the laboratory for analysis.


The testing technique for hair metal analysis is inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). In this process, the hair sample is first cleaned, prepared, and chemically digested to release incorporated elements into solution. The sample is then introduced into a high-temperature plasma field, where it is ionised. These ions are subsequently separated and quantified based on their mass-to-charge ratio to determine heavy metal levels.
