Toxins and Environment

Unfortunately our modern world is full of toxins. Our food has preservatives, food coloring, additives (whatever that is) emulsifiers, binding agents, and on and on. Look at any processed food and it reads like a chemical factory. When these “additives” get into the body, your liver and kidneys immediately start trying to get rid of them. One of the tasks of good bacteria in your gut is to metabolise toxins in your body. This can cause inflammation to your system if this process is overburdened.

One of our jobs as Functional Medicine practitioners and health coaches is to help you to recognize and eliminate as many toxins from your environment as possible. The effect of toxins is cumulative. These toxins include but are not limited to:

Glyphosate

Preservatives

Pesticides

Insecticides

Food coloring

Trans fat

Benzoate

Styrene

Molds

Bisphenyl BPA

Plastic

Xylene

Artificial Sweeteners

Medications

Alcohol

Recreational drugs
