Exposure to heavy metals can occur through the environment, food, water, occupation, medical devices, and historical exposures. When heavy metals accumulate, they may contribute to oxidative stress, inflammation, and interference with normal cellular and vascular function.
Chelation IV therapy at Gandhi Health & Wellness is offered within a physician-led medical setting to support the reduction of heavy metal burden and to assist the body’s natural detoxification and vascular health processes when clinically appropriate.

Chelation therapy is a medical intervention that uses specific binding agents to help the body bind and remove certain heavy metals through natural elimination pathways. These agents are administered intravenously under strict medical supervision.
Chelation is not a general wellness IV and is not used routinely. It is reserved for situations where heavy metal exposure or burden is suspected or documented and where physician evaluation supports its use.
Heavy metals can disrupt normal biological processes by:
Increasing oxidative stress
Interfering with enzyme and mitochondrial function
Contributing to inflammation
Affecting vascular and endothelial health
In some individuals, heavy metal burden may be associated with symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive changes, neurological symptoms, or cardiovascular concerns. Chelation therapy may be considered as part of a comprehensive, medically guided detoxification strategy.

Chelation IV therapy works by:
Introducing a chelating agent into the bloodstream
Binding specific metals with high affinity
Supporting elimination through renal pathways
Because this process can influence mineral balance and renal workload, careful dosing, pacing, and monitoring are essential.
At Gandhi Health & Wellness, chelation therapy is approached with caution and precision. Prior to treatment, your provider evaluates:
Medical history and current symptoms
Potential sources of exposure
Kidney function and overall health status
Relevant laboratory data when indicated
Chelation is only offered when the potential benefit outweighs the risk and when appropriate monitoring can be ensured.
Chelation IV therapy may be considered for individuals who:
Have known or suspected heavy metal exposure
Have laboratory findings consistent with elevated metal burden
Are addressing cardiovascular or vascular health concerns under physician guidance
Are pursuing advanced detoxification strategies within a structured care plan
Provider approval is required prior to treatment.
Chelation IV therapy is administered in a monitored clinical environment. Sessions are longer than standard hydration IVs and require careful observation. Your provider will review expectations, hydration needs, and post-treatment guidance to support safety and recovery.
When used appropriately and under medical supervision, chelation can be safe. It is not appropriate for everyone.
In many cases, yes. Your provider will determine what evaluation is necessary.
No. Chelation is reserved for specific clinical situations.
Chelation can affect mineral balance, which is why monitoring and medical oversight are essential.
Dr. Kunal Gandhi is an exceptional doctor. From the moment I spoke to her, she made me feel truly heard and valued. She took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and addressed them with genuine care. I’m so grateful for her professionalism and the dedication she shows to my well-being. Since starting treatment with her, I’ve felt a noticeable improvement and couldn’t be more thankful.
Dr. Gandhi is amazing to work with. She’s very attentive, detailed, and caring, always making you feel respected, heard, and understood. I’ve had a few major health issues that no one else could really figure out, and I luckily found Dr. Gandhi a few years ago. She has really turned me around and gotten me back to feeling like myself. I couldn’t recommend anyone more, and I’m so happy to have found her.
I’m so grateful for Dr. Gandhi and her exceptional care. She was able to fit me in for a last-minute IV with multivitamins when I wasn’t feeling well, and her kindness and attentiveness immediately put me at ease. She took the time to thoroughly listen to my concerns, explain my options, and provide a treatment plan that helped me start feeling better right away. Her deep knowledge and experience were evident in every step of the visit. It’s rare to find a doctor who is both so thorough and genuinely caring—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a functional medicine physician who truly puts patients first.
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Gandhi. Her background of being an MD combined with her holistic medicine approach is unique and amazing. She truly cares about her patients and does a comprehensive approach to health , wellness and optimization. Her range of knowledge of dietary improvements combined with bloodwork analysis and supplements is incredible. In our year and a half together, my lab results have improved dramatically and more importantly so has my quality of life. On top of that her staff is amazing and she is incredibly responsive. Five stars all the way!
After another doctor couldn't help me, I found Dr. Gandhi. She really listened to my symptoms and looked over all my medical history. She ended up coming up with a treatment plan that I started immediately. Dr. Gandhi explained everything clearly and checked my progress often, which really made me feel safe under her care. Her kindness and dedication stood out! I highly recommend Dr. Gandhi for her expertise and compassionate care. She truly made a difference in my health and well-being. Thank you, Dr. Gandhi!
My life changed since i stepped in the office of Dr. Gandhi. Before arriving there i thought that i’m healthy but my lab results didn’t agree with that. Dr. Gandhi went thoroughly through my results and suggested different supplements for my gut health, low energy that i was experiencing for the 2nd half of the day and she suggested some lifestyle changes like cold plunging, walking daily, which really helped with my mood swings. I’m patient for more than 6 months and i’m noticing such a tremendous difference. Grateful for her and her team who are always smiling and spreading positive energy. Cannot recommend it enough. Thank you Gandhi Health and Wellness team!
I recently visited Dr. Gandhi for a routine check-up, and I was thoroughly impressed with her professionalism and compassionate approach. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly and efficient, and Dr. Gandhi took the time to listen to my concerns without rushing through my appointment. She explained everything clearly and provided thoughtful answers to all my questions, making me feel at ease about my health. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Gandhi to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring physician.
Dr Gandhi is a Godsend. She meticulously reviews a patients history and then prepares a course of action. Multiple physicians over several years couldn’t figure out a plan or diagnosis but here I am after a few short months with Dr Gandhi and I’m LIVING MY BEST LIFE at 60!!! She basically gave me back my life and I will be forever grateful. She is a healer!!!!
In having shared patients with Dr. Gandhi, it is obvious how passionate she is about her work and helping her patients regain their wellness. Her patients tell me first hand how much time she spends with them, how knowledgeable she is and how they feel for the first time, a doctor is truly invested in helping them get better. I would highly recommend Dr. Gandhi to any of my patients, particularly those who are struggling to find solutions to their health problems. She is one of a kind!
Dr. Gandhi is an exceptional doctor who really cares about her patients. She has an incredible amount of knowledge in the area of functional medicine and she is passionate about it. She had helped me improve my energy, and my weight loss goals as well as thyroid issues. I have recommended many friends and family members to her, and they all feel the same!
If you have concerns about heavy metal exposure or are exploring physician-guided detoxification options, chelation therapy may be worth discussing.
