Environmental medicine explores the impact that toxin exposures may have on overall health and physiological function. Exposures to heavy metals, pesticides, plastics, and mold-related toxins can contribute to concerns affecting digestive, mental, skin, hormonal, and immune health. An astute medical and environmental history, together with advanced testing when appropriate, can help identify patterns of exposure and body burden. Through an individualized clinical approach, patients are supported with comprehensive, individualized detoxification protocols aimed at reducing these burdens and supporting a greater sense of well-being.
