Urine Toxic Metals (Timed)
Urine Elements are traditionally used to evaluate exposure to potentially toxic elements and wasting of nutrient elements. Additionally, the comparison of urine element concentrations before and after administration of a chelator can be used to estimate net retention of potentially toxic elements. Subsequent urine element analyses, also following the administration of a chelator, are useful for monitoring the efficacy of metal detoxification therapy. Results are expressed per 24 hours or creatinine corrected to account for urine dilution effects.

Stephanie Strudley
Stephanie Strudley, CNS, is a functional medicine nutritionist and the founder of Upstream Wellness. She helps driven, health-conscious adults who've done "everything right" and still don't feel like themselves — connecting the dots between symptoms, labs, and lifestyle to uncover what's actually going on. Her approach is shaped by an unconventional path: a background in ecology and systems biology, and her own experience navigating serious, unresolved health challenges before finding root-cause care herself. She doesn't believe in one-size-fits-all protocols or quick fixes — she believes health is more like solving a puzzle than following a formula, and her role is to help clients ask better questions, interpret their own data, and build a plan that fits their unique biology and life.
