In fact,What’s in your water? A question you may have pondered. It is important to gain an understanding of what is in your water, and even more important to realize that there is actually something you can do about it.

You water is likely filled with contaminants affecting the way you feel, and ultimately affecting your quality of life. It is likely you have heard about fluoride, or simply noticed an unpleasant taste coming from your tap water. 

“The U.S. began adding fluoride to some public water supplies in the 1940s,” Unfortunately, like many things, too much fluoride can do more harm than good and studies are beginning to show fluoride may be one of the underlying causes of many other ailments and chronic diseases. In nutrition response testing we often find heavy metals are an underlying cause of other health concerns. We often prescribe some sort of detox for heavy metals.
