Toxicity Truths – Powerful Functional Medicine Insight

It’s definitely one of the most common, true root causes of disease:  Toxicity.

In today’s modern “better living through chemistry” world, we may be exposed to more toxic threats on a daily basis than early man had to deal with over a year – or even a lifetime.   Toxicity is an important functional medicine concept to master .

Many practitioners default to extremes of perspective in toxicity, either believing that the body is invincible in the face of today’s chemical onslaught or believing that the body is highly vulnerable and in need of acute protection from all chemical exposure.  I believe (as is often the case) that the truth is somewhere in between these extremes. Our unique experience of toxicity as individuals is going to vary dramatically.  Due to our varying genetics, nutrition, health history, and collective toxic exposure (because most toxicity is synergistically harmful!).

Check out the video below to learn some pearls you can implement in your practice right away.  Then please share below what most resonates with you in this video.  I am very interested in your perspective.

Thanks very much for joining in the fun and clinical education!

With warmth, love, and gratitude to you for sharing your gifts with so many –

These videos always leave me wanting more! I value the progression of chelation… low and slow. Especially for our more delicate patients. Also love the info regarding the initial simple strategy of of dealing with constipation and water intake initially before jumping in with both feet and radically treating an individual full force overwhelming them with toxins and ox. Stress burden.

Loved this, full of information. I loved understanding how toxins are also formed within us, its not just about toxins from the outside. Thanks for all you do.

The things you spoke of with regard to the meaning of lab results and the detective work is EXACTLY what I need to learn to add to my current coaching skills. I so much appreciate that you make these available to non-students. It is so helpful to me to make my decision between the 2 schools that I am considering. I love your style of teaching!

Hi there, thank you so much for the amazing content in the video. I have a client with acute symptoms of adrenal fatigue and clinical hypothyroidism. Is there a reference I can go to to find the best advice on what we should check in her blood work so we can get to the root of her problem. Many thanks! Fran

I’m currently on a deep dive of toxins and am amazed how many sources we need to uncover. I agree it’s being missed by most practitioners
