About
The Heavy Metals Panel is a focused three-marker blood screen from Lifeforce; arsenic, mercury, and lead; measured from an at-home phlebotomy draw. It's sold publicly at $200 as a one-time purchase and also added on top of an existing Lifeforce membership or one-time diagnostic. The panel targets people with known or suspected exposure (seafood-heavy diets, occupational contact, older homes with lead paint or plumbing) or unexplained symptoms with no clear cause. Results land in the Lifeforce dashboard; for members and diagnostic purchasers, they're integrated into the 45-minute clinician consult and Lifescore alongside the base biomarker panel.
For members and one-time-diagnostic purchasers, results are interpreted by a board-certified Lifeforce clinician during the scheduled 45-minute telehealth consult. Standalone $200 purchasers receive results through the dashboard; the non-member review workflow is not separately described on the product page.
What to Know
Signature approach
Three metals, venous draw, read in the context of a longevity care relationship rather than shipped as a standalone report. Arsenic tracks seafood and drinking-water exposure; mercury tracks seafood and dental-amalgam history; lead tracks historical environmental exposure from older housing, plumbing, and occupational sources. For members, the results feed the Lifescore and are reviewed live by a board-certified clinician during the 45-minute telehealth consult; who can then build a detox plan layering exposure reduction, nutrition, and any medication or supplement strategies indicated.
What sets it apart
- Publicly priced. Unlike the Cardiovascular, Metabolic, and Brain Protection panels, the Heavy Metals price is on the page; one-time purchase, no member account required.
- Physician-backed interpretation available. Standalone heavy-metals kits from DTC labs ship as a report. This panel can route through a board-certified Lifeforce clinician when layered onto a membership or one-time diagnostic.
- Tight three-marker focus. Arsenic, mercury, lead; the three metals most implicated in common exposure pathways, read from a single blood draw rather than a broad toxicology sweep.
Before You Order
- Narrow scope. Three metals only: arsenic, mercury, and lead. It does not cover cadmium, aluminum, nickel, or chelation-challenge urine testing. - Clinician review depends on pathway. The $200 test can be bought directly, while integrated interpretation fits best through membership or the One-Time Diagnostic. - Exposure follow-up may need local care. Elevated results can require environmental review or specialist follow-up outside Lifeforce.

This is a focused three-marker heavy-metals screen; arsenic, mercury, and lead. It does not include cadmium, aluminum, nickel, or other trace metals, and it does not include chelation-challenge urine testing. It is not a replacement for the Lifeforce base diagnostic.
Reference ranges methodology
Lifeforce reads biomarkers against optimization-range targets (not abnormal/normal cutoffs) and rolls results into the proprietary Lifescore (1–100 index), reviewed by a clinician during the telehealth consult when purchased as an add-on or inside a membership.

$200
Blood levels of arsenic, mercury, and lead via at-home phlebotomy draw, delivered to the Lifeforce dashboard. Does not include a dedicated clinician consult outside the Lifeforce membership or one-time diagnostic.

In practiceReal-world pricing notes, add-ons, and coverage limits.
The Heavy Metals Panel is priced publicly at $200 one-time on the product page; unusual for the Lifeforce advanced-panel line, which otherwise gates pricing behind member checkout. Existing members can also add the panel on top of their tier ($149/mo ongoing, $599/yr Annual Core, or $1,449/yr Annual Full); the member add-on price is gated behind member checkout. Self-pay only; no insurance. HSA/FSA eligible at the membership level. Expect the $200 to cover the draw and lab run; a full clinician interpretation presumes you're already inside a membership or the one-time diagnostic.
How it works
- 1
At-home blood draw
A licensed phlebotomist visits your home to collect a venous blood sample. Onboarding questionnaire covers health history and any known or suspected exposure.
- 2
Lab analysis
Blood levels of arsenic, mercury, and lead are measured and loaded into the Lifeforce dashboard. For members, results also roll into the proprietary Lifescore.
- 3
Clinician review
For members and one-time-diagnostic purchasers, a board-certified Lifeforce clinician reads the heavy-metal results in the context of the full biomarker panel during a 45-minute telehealth consult and builds a detox and risk-reduction plan.
- 4
Retest and refine
Within the Lifeforce membership cadence, retest every three months to track whether blood levels are trending down in response to exposure reduction and any clinician-directed interventions.
