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.

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.
