How Do We Eliminate Toxins Naturally? What Is a Medical Grade Detox?


Listen Later

When it comes to women's health, many are concerned about how hormones might put them at a higher risk for cancer. At the same time, so few women are not as concerned with the toxins they come into contact with every day, which definitely do put them at a higher risk for cancer.

Thousands of chemicals have been introduced into our daily modern lives: walking barefoot on your carpet, breathing in car exhaust, and washing your clothes with detergent to name a few. Even the skincare you use exposes you to toxins. This increases the toxic burden on your body. Complete avoidance of exposure isn't the goal, but rather to lower the burden enough for our own detoxification system to keep up.

So, what are the symptoms of an overwhelmed detoxification system? Autoimmune diseases, chemical sensitivity, digestive issues, skin issues, mental illness, fatigue, stubborn weight loss, migraines, and menstrual issues are all signs of this issue. Your liver is your primary detox organ and plays a significant role in processing and eliminating toxins.

Normal bowel function is also critical for eliminating toxins. Those with declining kidney function or kidney disease can also struggle to flush out toxins. There are some types of genetic conditions (mutations) that can influence detoxification processes via the body's various detox pathways. Genetic testing can give you insight into your body's ability to deal with these compounds.

Each hepatic cell has about 1,000-2,000 mitochondria, so the liver needs a lot of energy to work efficiently. The liver needs crucial trace minerals and vitamins for the intense process of detoxification. This is why a medical grade detox program usually contains pre-packaged pills and supplements designed to enhance the different phases of detox and support each step along the way.
