A Body Systems Approach to Detoxification

Learn to develop personalized detoxification protocols for better patient outcomes. This deep dive into functional medicine principles emphasizes the interconnectedness of body systems and their crucial roles in detoxification. Gain insights into identifying and addressing underlying imbalances for a more personalized and effective approach to health. Poor toxin clearance can result in many of the common symptoms seen in practice every day including depression, anxiety, fatigue, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, immune system dysfunction and a wide range of metabolic issues. Discover how a lab-based approach enhances clinical effectiveness.
