Detoxification

What does it actually mean when someone says they are doing a detox? There a many different kinds of detoxification and many perspectives on how it is done.

But, doing a detox to enhance your health and address a specific condition is very different.
Lyme Disease
At our Boulder clinic, we understand the challenges that come with detecting Lyme Disease. Testing can be an obstacle, leading to delayed diagnosis for many patients. Conventional medical clinics often use tests that are not sensitive enough or are misinterpreted. That’s why our providers use a combination of testing methods to accurately assess Lyme Disease infection. We use antibody testing, DNA testing, and serum blood testing to determine your Lyme status. Our experts have years of experience interpreting test results, ensuring an accurate diagnosis for our patients. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.
Mold Toxicity
Mold creates mycotoxin production-also called volatile organic compounds – which can cause significant illness for susceptible individuals. A small percentage of the population is especially sensitive to mycotoxin exposure and can explain why one person may become ill living or working in an environment with water damage and why some may not experience any immune challenge at all from the same exposure.
Fatigue
Fatigue can have deep impacts on your day to day functioning, making it more difficult to juggle responsibilities. Often patients are not aware of how much more difficult life is, or how much easier it can be, until they resolve their fatigue. Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating disorder characterized by extreme fatigue or tiredness that doesn’t go away with rest and can’t be explained by an underlying medical condition. CFS can also be referred to as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) or systemic exertion intolerance disease.

Gut Health
We are inhabited by as many as twenty thousand bacterial species, which live in our intestines and which have been reported to outnumber our own cells by 10:1. Collectively, these organisms are referred to as our microbiome, and they are taking center stage in our health in every possible way. Recent studies often link certain beneficial bacteria to certain conditions, such as obesity, cancer, anxiety and more. Loss of diversity and abundance of of these bugs is what begins the process of disease.
Cognitive Decline
How can we protect our brains from the influences? The brain is nurtured by a system of veins and lymphatics that serve as one way to escort toxins and metabolic waste products out of the brain. Systems can be blocked keeping toxins inside creating an environment that allows damage and destruction to the neuron to be continuous. Toxic exposures can be avoided, and dietary changes are critical. Taking nutrients to support brain health is one of the best methods to protect your brain.
Heavy Metals
Our environment is contaminated with heavy metals, usually the by-product of combustion, found in varying amounts in air, soil, food, and water, and which can become absorbed through inhalation or oral ingestion. Heavy metals in Boulder, such as mercury, lead, aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, and more can accumulate in the body over time and are suspected of triggering conditions.
