Embrace a Healthier You: Detoxification Pathways
In the modern world, our bodies are bombarded by toxins. From mycotoxins in mold-contaminated buildings, to heavy metals like lead in our drinking water and pesticides such as glyphosate in our food supply, these harmful substances accumulate in our tissues, wrecking havoc on our health.
Common Signs and Symptoms of Toxin Overload:
-
Poor sleep
-
Exhaustion
-
Digestive issues- bloating, gas, heartburn
-
Food sensitivities
-
Weight gain
-
Difficulty concentrating
-
Irritability and mood swings
-
Poor immune health/ frequent infections
-
Sinus problems
-
Environmental allergies
-
Hormone Imbalances
The Toll of Toxins on our Health
There are two forms of toxins that we are exposed to on a daily basis, endogenous and exogenous toxins:
Endogenous toxins are those produced by the body, such as endotoxins (parts of bacteria), hormone metabolites (such as estrogen), and metabolic waste products (such as ammonia and carbon dioxide).
Exogenous toxins come from our external environment: Substances such as heavy metals (mercury, lead, arsenic), mold and their byproducts (mycotoxins), plasticizers (phthalates and BPA), pesticides and herbicides such as glyphosate (Round-Up), and medications.
When toxin intake exceeds the body's removal capabilities, toxins accumulate in cells and tissues. This over- taxation of our natural detoxification systems impairs neurological function, disrupts endocrine (hormonal) activity, weakens the immune system, and contributes to chronic inflammation. Over time, this toxic burden can lead to chronic diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
