PFAS testing without the panic.
Source first. Water testing when it guides filtration. PFAS blood testing only for high-risk histories. No routine microplastic “body burden” scavenger hunt.
Private well or local contamination
Firefighting, industrial, military-base, or airport exposure
Choosing or auditing a water filter
Interpreting prior PFAS, water, or heavy-metal results
Process
Three decisions. Not a detox protocol.
The point is a cleaner next step, not a bigger lab receipt.
01
Map the source
Water, work, home, cookware, food-contact patterns.
02
Choose test or skip
Water first; PFAS blood only when it changes follow-up.
03
Turn results into action
Filter, repeat, monitor, refer — or stop chasing noise.
Before the visit

Not sure if testing is worth it?
Bring the exposure story. I’ll help separate signal from noise and decide whether to test, filter, monitor, or stop worrying.
