Why focus on heavy metal detox in your clinic?
- Heavy metal toxicity affects EVERY client/patient we see in clinic and underlies EVERY health condition
- Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a good starting point for heavy metal investigations, but most of the time, it does not show metals due to poor detox/methylation capacity, poor adrenal function and poor Phase 3 detox
- More detailed tests such as Stool metals, Red cell metals and chelation urine challenge tests are very important to determine the full scale of heavy metal toxicity
- Designing successful treatment protocols for heavy metal detoxification is an essential clinical skill

“I would highly recommend Maria and Dr Bruce Jones’ course on heavy metal detox. I believe this is the kind of information that all practitioners should know. The case studies and clinical pearls were invaluable. The thing I loved most is that the information is coming from two very knowledgeable and credible sources in a field where there can be a lot of misinformation. The information is based on extensive research and very in-depth, providing key insights into very specific treatment protocols. I fully enjoyed the course and believe it has given me so much more confidence to discuss this topic with clients and be confident on the right approach for their issue. I greatly appreciate having the opportunity to be able to take Maria and Dr Bruce’s course.”
~ Suzanne Mehrotra, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Singapore
“I really love Maria’s courses. She has such a succinct, and clear way of presenting information that makes it easy to absorb. I think the Heavy Metal Detox for Health Practitioners course is a really important one as being an HTMA practitioner, I’m constantly seeing high heavy metals. I feel this course really fills a gap in my knowledge about the complex issue of heavy metals testing and treatment.
Thanks, Maria and Dr Bruce!”
~ Eliza Blackwood, Naturopath, Australia
“Highly recommended to any practitioner! Five stars!!
Maria’s course on Heavy Metal Detox is a remarkable course that should be taught to every healthcare practitioner and doctor. The level of information shared by Maria and dr Bruce Jones is outstanding and so well presented.
This course changes the way we approach heavy metals in our patients.
Being a naturopath, I had always thought that heavy metal detoxification (chelation therapy) was something only certain doctors could do. Now, I feel confident I can test, identify and treat heavy metals in my patients, too.
The course is rich in clinical pearls, case studies, treatment protocols and based on extensive research and clinical expertise.
Thank you, Maria (and Dr. Bruce), for putting together another great course!”
~ R.Nithart, Naturopath, France

About Maria Allerton
Clinical Nutritionist- Adv. Dip Nutritional Medicine, B.Comm UNSW. ATMS member.
I am fully qualified Nutritionist, in clinical practice since 2013, trained in all modes of Functional Medicine testing, including heavy metal testing, gastrointestinal testing and analysis, microbiome management, Organic acids test, thyroid and hormonal testing and treatment and toxicity assessment and treatment and Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA).
I undertake regular post graduate training in diverse medicine and nutrition areas to ensure I have the latest knowledge and protocols. My passion is to help individuals and their families find a truly healthy life through eating real food, improving their lifestyle, addressing gut and mood issues, metabolic issues, through understanding body systems and genetics.
Having personal experience with numerous health conditions makes all the difference
What makes my approach to holistic healthcare unique is the fact that I have personally experienced numerous, often debilitating health conditions throughout my life. This helps me in my nutrition clinic daily in numerous ways: to truly relate and empathise with my patients, to be able to quickly identify potential underlying causes that others have missed and order the right functional tests and devise effective treatment plans.
Some of the conditions that I have personally dealt with during my health journey include: severe food intolerances and allergies, hay fever, sinusitis, chronic bronchitis, IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome) and SIBO, gut dysbiosis and infections, Candida, Pyroluria, Gilbert’s Syndrome, MTHFR and numerous other unfavourable genetics, thyroid and hormonal dysregulation, depression and anxiety, adrenal fatigue and burnout, insomnia, weight gain and loss and many others.
What I think truly makes a difference and what I love to do with my patients is to put together the ‘puzzle pieces’ to form a real understanding of the TRUE CAUSES of their health issues. In my health journey I consulted numerous conventional and complimentary health practitioners along the way and to be honest never found somebody who really ‘gets it’ and can see through all the test results, symptoms, emotions and history and put it all together. I decided that I would become that practitioner and that is what I thrive on in my clinic work.
My personal heavy metal story is extensive: firstly I was exposed to mercury in utero as my mum had numerous amalgam fillings and cadmium+ nickel as my dad was a smoker. I grew up in Russia where leaded petrol and paint were still extensively used in the 1970s and 80s. Then I was exposed to Chernobyl radiation while living in Moscow as a child. Onto the reproductive years: lots of tuna consumption, exposure to oral contraceptives and copper IUD and onto a broken mercury thermometer – this was the deciding factor in my health downward spiral. Combined with unfavourable methylation/detox genetics and chronic zinc deficiency, all this led me onto a massive heavy metal detox journey which was guided by Dr. Bruce Jones.
