Environmental Toxins

Environmental toxins, technically called toxicants, are substances produced endogenously from the human body and which, when absorbed, inhaled, or ingested, can cause acute or chronic toxic overload, which may manifest in a variety of biological organ, tissue, and cellular-level systems.

Environmental toxins are cancer-causing chemicals and endocrine disruptors, both human-made and naturally occurring.

Susceptibility to toxic overload varies person-to-person, and can be affected by a variety of factors including:

• Genetics
• Environment
• Diet
• Liver and kidney health
• Microbiome composition and diversity
• Age
• Adiposity
• Gender
• Lifestyle
• Immune system capacity
• Screening patients with multiple chronic inflammatory symptoms, resistance to weight loss, and signs of excessive total toxic load is important to detecting unknown chemical exposure to daily products, foods, and environment
• Screening for Environmental Toxins can aid practitioners in uncovering true root causes of toxicity from common environmental sources and provide a clear roadmap to detoxification and healing
• In order to assess the most comprehensive potential for total toxic load, consider running Environmental Toxins with a Vibrant Heavy Metals, Mycotoxins, or Food Additives panels
