Detox & Toxicity Testing

Modern life involves exposure to numerous toxins: heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium), industrial chemicals, pesticides, plasticizers, and other compounds that can accumulate in tissues over time. Even low-level chronic exposure can create a toxic burden that affects energy production, hormone function, neurological health, and immune function.

Many people carry significant toxic loads without realising it, attributing symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or mood changes to other causes.

Toxin exposure comes from multiple sources: contaminated food and water, dental amalgams (mercury), occupational exposure, household products, personal care products, air pollution, and even some supplements or medications. Understanding your exposure history helps identify likely toxin sources and prioritise testing.

Some individuals are also genetically less efficient at detoxification, making them more susceptible to toxic accumulation even with typical exposure levels.

Toxicity assessment may include blood, urine, or hair analysis for heavy metals, as well as evaluation of detoxification pathway function. The appropriate testing depends on your history, symptoms, and suspected exposures.

Provocative testing (using chelating agents to mobilise stored toxins) may provide more accurate assessment of total body burden than standard testing alone.

When significant toxic burden is identified, we develop personalised detoxification protocols. These are not generic 'cleanses' but evidence-based approaches targeting specific toxins using appropriate binding agents, supporting detoxification pathways, and protecting vulnerable tissues during the process.

Detoxification must be approached carefully—mobilising toxins without proper support can actually worsen symptoms. Our protocols ensure safe, effective reduction of toxic burden with monitoring throughout the process.
