We help you make toxin conversations practical, evidence-informed, and safe.

Heavy metals and environmental toxins can be a real contributor for some people, but the internet often turns it into fear. Our approach is structured: assess exposure risk, symptoms, and resilience, then build a step-by-step plan.

“Detox” isn’t a cleanse. In clinic it usually starts with foundations (hydration, bowel regularity, nutrition, sleep), reducing exposures, and choosing the smallest effective step.

Common exposure sources (educational)

Click to expand. We assess what’s relevant to your life and risk factors.

Private wells, older plumbing, and filtration gaps can matter. We discuss water testing and practical filtration options (as appropriate).
Construction, manufacturing, auto/boat work, painting, solvents, metals, pesticides, and other job-site exposures can contribute.
Fragrance, cleaning products, air fresheners, pesticides, and certain hobby materials can be triggers for some people.
Diet quality matters. We also discuss practical cooking/storage upgrades when relevant (for example, reducing high-risk packaging or cookware concerns).
Water damage, indoor air quality, and ventilation can create overlap patterns. If mold is a concern, we address it as a separate (but related) topic.

Support steps we often start with

Most people do best with a paced, foundations-first plan. “More aggressive” is not always better.

Step 1: Reduce exposure

Home/work/product changes that lower daily load.

Step 2: Support elimination

Hydration, fiber, bowel regularity, sweating, and sleep.

Step 3: Rebuild resilience

Nutrients, protein, minerals, and recovery capacity.

Step 4: Targeted support

Only when appropriate and tolerable for you.

Step 5: Re-check + adjust

We refine based on response, not hype.

Step 6: Long-term maintenance

Keep gains by keeping exposures low.

How we think about testing

Testing is a tool, not a conclusion. We choose testing based on your risk factors, symptoms, and whether results will change next steps.

✓
Exposure history first Home, work, hobbies, water, diet, and symptom tracking.
✓
Foundations in place Hydration and bowel regularity matter before many “detox” steps.
✓
Targeted labs when appropriate Ordered and interpreted by a clinician within your clinical context.
✓
Re-test strategy (if needed) Sometimes we monitor trends rather than chase numbers.

Safety notes

Some chelation or aggressive “detox” strategies can be risky and are not appropriate for everyone. We focus on safety-first pacing and individualized planning.

Important
Tell us your meds + conditions.

Kidney/liver issues, pregnancy, anticoagulants, and certain chronic illness patterns can change what is safe.
