We’re exposed to heavy metals every day, and over time, they become very hazardous to our health.

One of those hazards is the inability to lose weight.

Heavy metals can have a negative affect on normal thyroid function, which can ultimately prevent weight loss, according LookCut.com.

That’s why it’s important to include heavy metal detoxchelation therapy — into a regular routine, especially if you’re trying to lose weight.

Mercury, cadmium, and lead are all found in the body, but they provide no beneficial purpose. These heavy metals may be variations of metals that your body might actually need, but in an alternate form, they’re harmful.

“There is good scientific evidence that metal toxicity can impair endocrine (thyroid) function,” notes LookCut.

It impairs T4 to T3 conversion, which acts like an invisible force field around body fat.

It’s worth noting that heavy metals don’t just make it more difficult to lose weight, they make it impossible to lose weight, if they’ve done significant enough damage to the thyroid.

“No amount of diet or exercise will be of use for someone with a sufficiently impaired thyroid,” says LookCut.

The evidence

Some athletes have been treated for thyroid impairment via heavy metal detoxification.

Strength coach, Charles Poliquin, routinely trains world-class Olympians, and those looking to cut some pounds are commonly put through a mercury toxicity test.

More often than not, Poliquin has had very positive results with athletes looking to lose weight by putting them on a heavy metal detox program.

Detoxification

There are several ways to detox metals from your body.

Concentrated fruit and vegetable supplements can help.

In addition, a EDTA suppository, which contains an amino acid used to extract metals from your tissue, can also aid in detoxification.

We also suggest Detoxamin, a chelating agent used for heavy metal detox, which binds to the heavy metals and moves them out of the body through urine and feces.
