Environmental Toxins, Hormones & Detoxification

Detox Educational Hub

Modern life exposes us to endocrine-disrupting chemicals through food, water, air, personal care products, and household environments.

Over time, this toxic burden can interfere with hormone signaling, thyroid function, mitochondrial health, and metabolic balance.

What Is Toxic Load?

  • Endocrine disrupting chemicals
  • Heavy metals
  • Mycotoxins, mold
  • Plasticides & plastics

How Toxins Affect Hormones

  • Estrogen metabolism
  • Thyroid signaling
  • Cortisol and blood sugar regulation

Detoxification Pathways

The liver, gut, kidneys, and lymphatic system work together to support detoxification. However, it’s a very complex and nutrient dense process – which can be impaired by the toxins themselves, gut imbalances, medications, blood sugar dysregulation and hormonal imbalances.

Furthermore, genetics (epigenetics and various genetic mutations/variants), nutrient status, and stress can affect efficiency.

Functional Medicine Detox Support

A functional detox approach focuses on:

  • Optimizing gut health
  • Supporting pathways
  • Improving hormone metabolism
  • Regulating blood sugar

Functional Medicine Detox Program

Your detox program is designed to:

  • Support biotransformation of fat-soluble toxins (endocrine disruptors, heavy metals, pesticides, mycotoxins)
  • Support optimal bile flow (toxins are eliminated via the bile from the liver to the gut)
  • Support liver, kidney & gut detox pathways
  • Reduce endocrine-disrupting burden
  • Improve hormone metabolism
  • Support skin, energy & clarity
