Toxic Metals Detoxification
According to the World Health Organization phthalates, BPA (bisphenol-A), mercury, lead, arsenic, parabens, PCB’s, and cadmium are everywhere! These toxins disrupt hormone cascades in the body, inhibit the body’s ability to detoxify, disrupt kidney and liver function and disrupt the central nervous system.
Did you know that of all the humans tested for styrene levels (one of the most abundant toxins in our atmosphere) there has never been one human found to NOT have detectable Styrene!
Our exposure to these toxins is a given, as they are everywhere, even in the most pristine areas of our planet. Even organic egg yolks have been shown to have PCB’s. The goal, then is to optimize the body’s ability to excrete these toxins and care for the organs that detoxify these substances.
There are many ways to detoxify, cleanse and optimize the body’s ability to handle the pollutants it encounters. We offer detoxification guidance with an individualized approach depending upon patients’ toxic burden. We help to guide our patients through detoxification programs that include ensuring all bodily systems to clear toxins such as ensuring kidney function is intact, addressing liver health, gastrointestinal health and more.
We do recommend pre and post detoxification blood and urinary testing. Our program does include clinical nutritional counseling and lifestyle management to optimize the program.
The evaluation of environmental toxins can help to get your health moving in the right direction if you:

- Unexplained weight gain or inability to lose weight
