Are you struggling with unexplained symptoms like persistent fatigue, brain fog, or mood changes? It might not be stress or age — it could be the result of environmental toxins overloading your system.
For a total health reset, turn to Jennylle Zanzi, FNP-C, at RVA Regenerative Wellness. Jennylle offers advanced detoxification methods, including intravenous (IV) chelation and ozone sauna therapy, to clear away harmful substances that accumulate in your body.
Let’s take a closer look at how heavy metals impact your wellness and how a specialized detox can help you feel your best.
Trace amounts of heavy metals like mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium enter your system every day through the foods you eat, the air you breathe, and certain household products. Even metals that are necessary in small quantities, such as iron, copper, and zinc, can be toxic at higher concentrations.
Common sources of daily exposure include:
Your natural filtration systems — which include the liver, kidneys, gut, and lymphatic system — are designed to process and eliminate toxins, but over time, constant exposure can overwhelm them. Instead of being excreted in urine and feces, these substances begin to accumulate in your tissues and organs, triggering a variety of health problems.
Acute heavy metal poisoning occurs when you ingest, inhale, or make contact with a large amount of a toxic substance within a short period of time. This is a medical emergency that typically results in immediate, severe symptoms, such as vomiting, seizures, or respiratory distress.
Chronic heavy metal toxicity develops gradually as toxins build up within your body, creating inflammation and damaging cells. You may experience a wide range of symptoms, including:
The warning signs are easy to mistake for other issues, like a hormone imbalance, chronic fatigue syndrome, or stress — and in some cases, heavy metal toxicity can contribute to these conditions. Recent studies suggest that ongoing exposure may also increase your risk of cardiovascular disease.
If these symptoms sound familiar, the first step is getting a clear picture of what’s happening inside your body. Jennylle uses specialized blood and urine tests to identify the specific toxins affecting your health, then develops an effective treatment plan based on the results. Your detox plan may include:
In this treatment, an IV drip delivers an infusion of chelating agents — molecules that bind to heavy metals trapped in your tissues and pull them into your bloodstream, where they can be safely processed and eliminated.
While chelation loosens the metals, the ozone sauna helps get rid of them. The combination of heat and activated oxygen boosts circulation and opens your pores, allowing your body to flush out toxins through your skin and drainage pathways.
