She wrote Your Toxic Metal Burden: How to Safely Lighten Your Load in response to reports from clients and readers. As a result, she grew concerned about the dangers people were encountering when undertaking a heavy metal detoxification process without adequate and knowledgeable support.

ven undergoing a toxic metals challenge to find out if one has a toxic metal burden has to be carried out safely and with the support of a skillful and experienced clinician who understands the dangers and how to address them.

She learned about how to manage them safely both through professional trainings,  her own metals detoxification process and supporting clients in undertaking theirs.  Your Toxic Metal Burden summarizes what she learned.
