Toxin Screening & Detox
What is detoxification?
Detoxification is the process of releasing toxic substances from the body. Toxin screenings, especially screenings for heavy metals, can be evaluated through many procedures including hair analysis, urine, and stool samples.
We use hair mineral analysis to identify toxins in the body
The test measures the mineral content of your hair, which reflects the mineral content of the body’s tissues. If a mineral deficiency or excess exists in the hair, it usually indicates a similar imbalance within the body. These include both toxic minerals as well as nutrient minerals such as calcium and magnesium.
When relevant, we also employ urine, stool and blood cell labs to shed light on deeper and more long standing toxic problems.
What causes a mineral imbalance?
Common causes of mineral imbalance include:
Improper diet
Medications
Birth control pills
Stress
Accumulation of toxic metals from foods or the environment
Pesticide exposure
