Environmental Toxin Testing
Mycotoxins
This tests looks at 11 different mycotoxins in the most toxigenic classes: Aflatoxins, Ochratoxins, Trichothecenes, & Zearalenones. These fungal metabolites are cytotoxic (cell damage), have immunosuppressive effects, cause antioxidant depletion, and have numerous health effects. This is a highly specific test that looks for wide spread toxicity and its impact on the body.
Chemical toxins
The ToxDetect test looks at 19 different metabolites of toxic chemicals running rampant in our every day lives. These chemicals can come from our food, water, personal care products, household cleaners, plastics, and air pollution. Overexposure can lead to immune and metabolic dysregulation, cancer, endocrine and neurological disruption, and a host of other issues. It is time to see what toxin burden your body is under and to take the first steps on how to support your body through detoxification.
Heavy Metals
This incredible test includes 20 different toxic elements to give a robust inside look into the toxic burden your body is facing. The accumulation of heavy metals in a body directly affect cellular function which has detrimental downstream effects. Testing for heavy metals along with these other tests is the ultimate way to assess your body's ability to detoxify on its own, versus dealing with a body burden that leads to adverse health effects and chronic disorders.
Glyphosate
This is the world's most widely used herbicide and the primary toxic chemical in Roundup. This compound has been declared a likely carcinogen and over exposure can lead to toxic levels that cause neurotransmitter alterations, mitochondrial deficits, and gut dysbiosis where there is a decrease in beneficial bacteria and a proliferation in harmful bacteria. Chronic exposure can lead to organ damage and other concerning symptoms. It is time to see if you are dealing with a chronic chemical exposure!
