Heavy Metals & Toxins
Protect your child from hidden environmental exposures that may be impacting their health, development, and ability to thrive. We help families uncover and address toxin-related concerns.
Why Toxin Testing Matters for Children
Children are more vulnerable to environmental toxins due to their developing bodies, faster metabolisms, and behaviors that increase exposure. Early detection is key.
Home Environment
Old paint, contaminated dust, treated wood, and household products can be sources of hidden toxin exposure.
Food & Water
Pesticide residues, contaminated water, seafood with mercury, and food packaging can introduce toxins.
Air Quality
Vehicle emissions, industrial pollution, mold, and off-gassing from new furniture or carpets affect indoor air.
Children Are More Vulnerable
Pound for pound, children eat, drink, and breathe more than adults. Their bodies are still developing, and their detoxification systems may not be fully mature. Even low-level exposures that might not affect adults can impact a child's development, behavior, and learning.
