Detoxification & Environmental Exposures

We provide assessment and treatment of health conditions linked to environmental exposures.

Chemicals in the environment can disrupt the normal activity of hormones, the immune system, and the neurological system in women and men. We are exposed to these compounds every day, often without knowing it. The exposure to chemicals is coming from numerous sources both in and out of the home including:

  1. Pesticides on fruits and vegetables
  2. Non-organic meat and dairy products
  3. Fish that have high levels of mercury and pesticides
  4. Bisphenol-A and phthalates in plastic beverage bottles, tablecloths, shower curtains, plastic food wrappings, and plastic food storage containers
  5. Drinking water
  6. Household cleaning products, cosmetics, perfumes, dry cleaning, carpet, and vinyl floors
  7. Furniture air fresheners, mattresses, and shampoos
  8. Personal care products containing parabens
  9. Hobbies and occupational with common exposures

Studies have shown that exposure to chemicals in our everyday lives can contribute to adverse health conditions. Such conditions may include Hormone Imbalances, Immune Dysfunction, Autoimmune, Cancer, Chronic Fatigue, Infertility, Endometriosis, Migraines, Fibromyalgia, Thyroid, Neurological Conditions, Dermatitis, Sensitivities and Allergies, and many more. Our providers here at Living Wellness Medical Center are trained to assess and address the relationship between environmental toxins and health.

Assessment in Office

  • Exposure history
  • Personal health and family history
  • Laboratory testing
  • Complete physical exam
  • Complete and comprehensive explanation and interpretation of assessment results
  • Determination of toxic load

Treatment in Office

  • Detoxification support
  • Diet and nutrition
  • Nutritional supplementation
  • Herbal medicine
  • Homeopathy
  • Desensitization
  • Avoidance education
  • IV therapy

Detoxification/Cleansing

Chemicals that build up in the body will start to affect health if they are not removed. The basic principle behind detoxification is to remove the toxins stored in your body. The four steps in detoxification include mobilizing stored toxins, supporting liver metabolism, elimination from the body, and avoid re-exposure to chemicals in the environment.

It is essential to be guided through a proper detoxification plan by an expert in environmental medicine. Many supplements promoted for detoxification do not help remove chemicals from the body. Also, there are numerous drug-supplement interactions. Even though we are all exposed to chemicals at a low level on a daily basis, not everyone’s health is affected. Genetics plays a role, and treatments need to be specific for each person’s genetic make-up, exposure history, current health status, and symptoms.

Can’t say enough about Dr. Marianne Marchese! Her commitment to women’s wellness, calm, knowledgeable, non-judgemental guidance and insightful diagnoses / treatment has me turn to her for all my wellness needs. She takes the time to really listen. I feel heard and valued in her care.

I'm writing my review for Dr. Sarv Varta Khalsa. I met with her a few months ago to receive treatment for a condition I'd been dealing with for an extensive amount of time. She was incredibly kind and took the time to listen to all the details of the symptoms I was experiencing. The office had the prescriptions I needed on-hand so I didn't need to go off-site to find them. All natural remedies, and at comparatively good prices (I don't remember how much exactly, but if they were up-charging, which I doubt, I didn't notice nor would I have minded for the convenience). I'm still symptom-free now after following her recommendations, so I wanted to write a review to express my gratitude. Even though the appointment was pricey, it was worth every single penny to finally be able to live my life feeling normal again. Thank you so much!!

What's better than a Naturopathic Dr.... Dr. Olivia Watkins!!! I have been working with her for over a year and have learned so much about myself, she is truly a team partner in my journey. She is experienced in ANYTHING you may be experiencing. I consider her my primary physician... you should too!!!

Dr. Watkins is nothing short of incredible. She is kind and personable, while extremely smart and results driven. I have suffered from digestive and hormonal issues my whole life and it wasn't until I met Dr. Watkins that I finally felt heard by a Dr and saw a difference in my health. I can confidently say that my body has never felt this good and we are still working to be even better. If you are ready to feel better and feel heard from your doctor, then run, don't walk to Living Wellness.

Dr Olivia Watkins offers a beautiful aura of sincere loving support that I will forever cherish, as she exudes and radiates a beautiful light towards her patients' health care needs. Also, her staff, Joslyn and Ariana are as sweet as they come and have been as helpful as can be to me. One issue I had (and have had a few) was a lack of nutrient absorption and it was Dr Olivia who helped me change that status (thank God!) which I'm already seeing immediate results from and I've had this issue for years which my nails and hair loss were severely revealing! I've also experienced so much stress in the last year and a half, that having Dr Olivia as part of my healing process has made all the difference in my recovery to a more whole being! At this point, I seriously don't know what I'd do without her, as she is now my go-to health advocate and will be to my end days. Dr Olivia is a GodSend! Don't hesitate to call her office. High fives for the brightest healing light you could ever pray for in life! After eight long years, Dr Olivia just recently finished her GM residency and once again, I must congratulate her on such discipline and hard work as it has obviously paid off in spades! Long live Dr Olivia!

Dr. Watkins is life changing! I am so grateful that I was referred to Living Wellness and her specifically. I’ve been dealing with severe stomach issues for 10 years and have gone through the ringer with the test, labs, and over-the-counter medicine suggested by other doctors. Dr. Watkins is so smart, thoughtful, and attentive to every detail so that she can really get down to the bottom of your problems. She feels like a teammate and a very strong coach and a friend all in one. I’m finally on my way to feeling better and I couldn’t have done this without her. If you’re struggling don’t even hesitate to see her or any of the staff at living wellness. I promise you won’t regret it!

I saw Dr. Warkins several times and was overly impressed her. I was going through cancer treatments and she was compassionate and resourceful. We connected and I felt at such ease with her. She followed up with me multiple times to see how I was doing and feeling. I will continue to see her for any future Gyn needs.

I began to see Dr. Watkins for some general Women's Health issues and she was incredible to work with. She helped my body become more balanced, pain was relieved naturally, and my body was prepared for a healthy pregnancy. She is kind, knowledgable, and very supportive!
