Heavy metals
Heavy metal toxicity is a common issue in Australia and lots of people are widely affected by this condition. Heavy metals, such as mercury, lead and aluminium, accumulate in the body over time and are suspected to lead to a wide spread of symptoms and health conditions. Heavy metal toxicity is caused primarily by the levels of pollution and use of chemicals that we are exposed to on a day to day basis.
This test uses a urine sample to test for fourteen toxic metals. Your naturopath may suggest this test if you have any one of the following conditions:
- Chronic fatigue
- Mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety or bipolar
- Brain fog or memory
- Immune dysfunction or autoimmunity
- Thyroid dysfunction
- Cardiovascular disease
- Muscular skeletal conditions including fibromyalgia
- Skin conditions like acne, eczema etc.
Mould testing
Sicknesses from mould exposure and toxicity in Australia, particularly along the East Coast is becoming an increasing issue, especially since the floods/high rain fall of 2022. There are several types of moulds that you can have in your home, some of which you may not even be able to see.
When we are constantly exposed to mould our immune system can become overwhelmed and start producing several side effects including:
- Allergy-like symptoms including runny nose, congestion, sneezing, coughing and sore throats.
- Headaches or migraines
- Lung irritation, tight chest or wheezing.
In some instances, if an individual is exposed to a particularly toxic type of mould or has had high exposure to mould, they may experience:
- Cognitive impairment (e.g. poor memory, fuzzy thinking, trouble focusing and staying on task).
- Chronic fatigue
- Fibromyalgia
- Unexplained depression, anxiety or mood swings
Your naturopath will work with you to take you through the variety of different mould testing profiles and if identified, will design a treatment plan to help you overcome these issues.
