Heavy metal toxicity happens when metals build up in the body at levels that begin to interfere with normal function. Lead and mercury are common concerns, but arsenic, cadmium, and aluminum can also be relevant depending on your environment and daily exposures.
Small exposures do not always cause immediate symptoms. The issue is often accumulation over time. When the body is carrying more than it can comfortably clear, people may notice changes in energy, focus, mood, digestion, or recovery. The symptoms can feel inconsistent, which is one reason many patients do not connect them to a single source right away.
At New Era Medical, we take a root-cause treatment for metal accumulation approach that prioritizes clarity over guesswork.
