About Pamela Levin

PAMELA LEVIN, R.N., is an award winning author, nutritional journalist and world renowned innovator in the fields of physical and emotional health. In private practice since 1970, she  draws on over 42 years’ professional experience.

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. 

She came to understand that even 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.

Although her earlier private practice focused on personal counseling she soon discovered that some of her clients' emotional issues - especially malaise, depression and anxiety - were driven by physical health issues - particularly a toxic metals burden. 

The focus of her private practice, books, articles and online resources is assisting people to improve their physical and emotional health and to train health professionals in these methods.
