Toxin & Heavy Metal Testing

Detoxify with Purpose. Heal with Clarity.

We live in a world that exposes us daily to harmful substances—from pesticides and plastics to heavy metals, mold, and industrial chemicals. While your body is designed to detox naturally, chronic exposure combined with poor nutrient status, stress, or genetic vulnerabilities can overwhelm your system.

At Vital Source Functional Medicine, we take a root-cause approach to detoxification. We don’t throw you into a cleanse—we identify what toxins are actually present, how your body is processing them, and how to support elimination safely and effectively. True detox starts with data.

Detox Shouldn’t Be a Guessing Game

We believe in testing before detoxing—so we can create a plan that’s smart, targeted, and safe. No cookie-cutter cleanses. No pushing toxins without proper support. Just a strategy that works with your body’s natural design.
