The Crucial Do’s And Don’ts Of Heavy Metal Testing And Metal Detoxification

Hey, you guys. Good morning. It's Ben Greenfield here. You like my hair? I'm here in my office and I've got, among many other things hanging around my office, this kit. It's like this heavy metal detox kit full of bottle of DMSA chelation, a little like, urine collection chamber, all this stuff. And I haven't actually done the test yet because I wanted to get a guy onto the show to kind of go over what heavy metal testing is, what you need to be thinking about when it comes to what to test, what not to test, what kind of chelation therapies can actually be dangerous, the type of things that you shouldn't be doing when it comes to heavy metal detox. And kind of like all the questions I've always wanted to ask about heavy metals, but was always concerned they might be too stupid a question to ask. So I got this guy named Dr. Greg Monjian. He's an Ironman triathlete, a guy that I know from Kona on the episode, to talk about this stuff. Really fantastic. We go into everything about, like, what you need to be concerned about if your house was built before 1978, some kind of scary stuff in terms of lead exposure there to what works and what doesn't when it comes to chelation therapy. To why Dr. Greg chose the type of test that he sent to me as a good test to look into heavy metal exposure. Some really interesting stuff. So this podcast is going to be accessible@BenGreenfieldFitness.com Heavy Metals. That's BenGreenfieldFitness.com HeavyMetals so if you want to know about everything from like, biological dentistry and the metals in your mouth to the right way to chelate heavy metals to the right way to test for heavy metals, then this will be a really interesting podcast for you. And at the end of the show, Dr. Greg even has some deals that he throws out that are actually pretty significant when it comes to, like, getting your own test kits and working with him on your results and stuff like that.
