HEAVY METALS
Heavy Metal may sound good (when your favorite band drops a nasty breakdown), but heavy metals are extremely toxic for our brains. In this episode, we will talk about a few known metals: Lead, Aluminum and Mercury, how they enter our brain, how these metals impact our ability to focus, and what we can do today to limit exposure, reduce metals in our brains and accomplish our dreams. Let’s dig in…

0:34 Intro to Podcast
1:05 How Heavy Metals Effects Focus
10:09 Solution to Increasing Creativity
Lead: Lead is a chemical element with the symbol Pb and atomic number 82 which group 14. Lead is widely used for car batteries, pigments, ammunition, cable sheathing, weights for lifting and more.
Article on NLBI: Lead in the brain: At the molecular level, lead interferes with the regulatory action of calcium on cell functions and disrupts many intracellular biological activities which damages the prefrontal cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum
Which can lead to… brain damage, behavioral problems, nerve damage, and possibly Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and schizophrenia.
A 2018 study published in The Lancet Public Health suggests that of the 2.3M deaths every year in the US, about 400K are attributable to lead exposure, of which 250K are from cardiovascular disease.
The EPA estimates that 10 to 20% of human exposure to lead may come from lead in drinking water as demonstrated in water testing throughout the United States.
Aluminum: Aluminum is a chemical element with the symbol Al and atomic number 13. Aluminum is used in transportation, construction, electrical and consumer goods.
Article found on Rezilir Health: It has been researched for decades that once aluminum enters the body, it bio-accumulates in brain tissue and contributes to cognitive impairment and memory loss.
Significant amounts of aluminum can be found in food emulsifiers, antiperspirant deodorants, hair sprays, baking powder, many types of toothpaste, in our drinking water, and in much of our cookware, exposing us to high amounts over the course of one’s lifetime.
Mercury: Mercury is a chemical element with the symbol Hg and atomic number 80. It is also a good conductor of electricity, so it is a useful component of electrical switches. Mercury is also used in dental fillings, paints, soaps, batteries, and fluorescent lighting.
Article in NCBI: Many studies show that high exposure to mercury induces changes in the central nervous system, potentially resulting in irritability, fatigue, behavioral changes, tremors, headaches, hearing and cognitive loss, dysarthria, incoordination, hallucinations, and death.
Article found on Rezilir Health: But the major source of mercury is found in our food chain and is responsible for about 1/3 of the levels found in our bodies. Mercury that naturally occurs in coal production is released during burning and enters the air; it is then precipitated into the oceans, lakes, and rivers by rain. According to the EPA, coal-fired power plants in the United States emit about 48 tons of mercury into the air every year. This works it’s way up the food chain to us.
What Can We Do?
- Avoid cosmetics containing aluminum, such as deodorants & beverages in aluminum cans
- Ceramic dental fillings instead of amalgam
- Give preference to organic foods: On average, organic food has 68% less cadmium
- DO NOT EAT FARM RAISED FISH
- Use water filters
- Some foods you can eat that are natural heavy metal detoxes: "cilantro, garlic, wild blueberries, lemon water, spirulina, barley grass juice powder, green tea, tomatoes
