In today’s world, we are constantly exposed to environmental toxins through air, food, water, and personal care products. Studies have shown the harmful effects of these toxins, particularly in individuals with genetic vulnerabilities. The combined and synergistic impact of these exposures contributes to a “toxic burden” that can overwhelm the body’s natural detoxification processes.

Children are especially susceptible due to several factors: their smaller size results in higher toxin concentrations. Their crawling and ground-level activities increase exposure to dust-borne toxins, and their natural curiosity often leads them to explore objects by mouth. Additionally, behaviors such as pica (ingesting non-food items) can persist into school-age, especially in children with autism or developmental challenges, further elevating toxin exposure.

As part of our integrative and holistic approach, we focus on strategies to reduce toxin exposure and optimize the body’s detoxification processes. In cases of higher toxin burden, we assess the body’s toxic burden and detoxification capacity, tailoring strategies to enhance biotransformation and elimination of harmful substances.
