Neurological damage is injury or dysfunction affecting the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves that causes cognitive impairment, movement disorders, or sensory problems. It is caused by toxic substances including lead, mercury, arsenic, and ethylene glycol that accumulate in nervous tissue and disrupt nerve cell function. The Heavy Metals Panel Blood Test is the most important test for diagnosis because it detects elevated levels of lead and other neurotoxic metals responsible for brain and nerve damage.

Neurological damage is caused by exposure to toxic substances that accumulate in the nervous system and destroy nerve cells. Heavy metals like lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium are common culprits that enter the body through contaminated water, old paint, industrial exposure, or certain foods. Other causes include ethylene glycol from antifreeze ingestion, chronic alcohol abuse, certain medications, carbon monoxide poisoning, and industrial chemical exposure. Occupational hazards such as working with pesticides, solvents, or in manufacturing plants increase the risk of toxic exposure. The developing brains of children are especially vulnerable to heavy metal toxicity, which can result in permanent learning disabilities and behavioral problems.
The Heavy Metals Panel Blood Test is the most important test for neurological damage because it detects elevated levels of lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium that directly damage brain and nerve tissue. Lead is particularly dangerous as even low levels can cause cognitive decline in adults and learning disabilities in children, making early detection critical for preventing irreversible damage. For suspected antifreeze poisoning or industrial solvent exposure, the Ethylene Glycol Urine Test is essential because it identifies this specific neurotoxin and its harmful metabolites that cause seizures, brain damage, and peripheral nerve destruction. Together, these tests identify the most common toxic causes of neurological symptoms when traditional brain imaging does not reveal a clear diagnosis.
You should get tested if you experience unexplained memory problems, difficulty concentrating, tremors, numbness or tingling in your hands or feet, or sudden changes in coordination or balance. Testing is especially important if you live in an older home with lead paint, work in manufacturing or construction, have been exposed to antifreeze or industrial chemicals, or notice neurological symptoms developing after a potential toxic exposure. Children showing learning difficulties, behavioral changes, or developmental delays should be tested for heavy metal exposure, particularly if living in high-risk environments. Early detection allows for removal from the toxic source and treatment before permanent nerve damage occurs.

What this means
Your testosterone levels are slightly below the optimal range. While this is not necessarily cause for concern, it may contribute to occasional fatigue, reduced motivation, or lower muscle mass over time.
Recommended actions
Increase resistance or strength training
Prioritize 7–8 hours of quality sleep per night, try to reduce stress
Include more zinc- and magnesium-rich foods (like shellfish, beef, pumpkin seeds, spinach)
Consider retesting in 3–6 months
Not overhyped or overpriced. Just comprehensive blood testing made simple and for everyone.
