Toxic exposure is a reality of our daily lives, but toxic overload can stress our bodily systems and manifest in various ways. Toxins can lead to elevated oxidative stress and increase demand on the body’s detoxification pathways, particularly in the liver. When the liver can’t adequately eliminate toxins or infectious byproducts, these toxins can clog up normal detox pathways and lead to a range of chronic inflammation symptoms. If you’re experiencing multiple chronic symptoms and can’t lose weight despite diet and exercise, you could be carrying a high toxic burden.
Why this test is important
Many toxins bioaccumulate (build up) and persist in the body for decades, breaking down slowly or not at all, leaving you susceptible to other toxic build-ups or susceptibility to infections through impaired detoxification, compromised immunity, and increased oxidative stress.
The Total Tox Burden is a simple and quick test that provides complete insight into the levels of heavy metals, mold toxins, and environmental toxins in your body.
Knowing your toxic burden is the first step to creating a personalized detox and wellness plan to achieve better health.
