| When it comes to metals, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone living in our modern world who does not encounter them daily. Toxic metal accumulation, however, can occur and often plays a major role oxidative stress, glutathione, mineral antagonism, and more. Shockingly, the human microbiome has the additional function of helping us process, transform, and regulate levels of these metals in the body. In this 60 minute webinar Dr Lyn Patrick and host, Dr Nicole Beurkens discuss: hidden sources of toxic metals, how to test for toxic metals (including easy, affordable options!), warning signs of metal exposure, implications of heavy metals on the microbiome and the next steps in a treatment plan after identifying toxic metal overload. Learning how to address these heavy metal hitchhikers, restore mineral balance to the body, and understand the intimate connection with the microbiome is essential for helping your patients maintain health. |
