What Toxins Reside Inside Your Body?

March 7, 2025

Have you ever wondered what toxins actually reside inside your body, what they affect and how to test for them? For example with the Toxic Burden Test of the urine we have seen very high levels of an environmental toxin called glyphosate in an 8 year old child. Imagine how the toxin exposure can affect a growing child’s brain. This Total Toxic Burden test you can do in your own home and send to a specialty lab. Once the results are returned there are methods to do to rid your body of this toxic overload.

Toxins from mold, environmental pollutants, and heavy metals can significantly impact our health in various ways. Here’s how they affect the body:

Mold Toxins (Mycotoxins)

Mold releases toxins called mycotoxins, which can affect different systems in the body. Exposure typically occurs through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact.

  • Respiratory System: Causes symptoms like coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and sinus congestion.
  • Immune System: Weakens immunity, making individuals more prone to infections.
  • Neurological System: Can cause brain fog, memory issues, headaches, dizziness, and even mood changes.
  • Digestive System: Can trigger bloating, nausea, diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Skin & Allergic Reactions: Leads to rashes, itching, and other allergic responses.

Environmental Toxins

These include air pollutants, pesticides, plastics (BPA, phthalates), industrial chemicals, and other contaminants.

  • Hormonal Disruption (Endocrine Disruptors): Chemicals like BPA, dioxins, and phthalates mimic or block hormones, affecting metabolism, fertility, and thyroid function.
  • Liver & Detoxification Burden: The liver processes and eliminates toxins, but constant exposure can lead to liver stress and toxicity.
  • Inflammation & Autoimmune Conditions: Environmental toxins trigger chronic inflammation, potentially leading to autoimmune diseases, joint pain, and metabolic disorders.
  • Cancer Risk: Prolonged exposure to carcinogenic pollutants (e.g., benzene, formaldehyde, asbestos) can increase the risk of cancers.

Heavy Metals (Lead, Mercury, Arsenic, Aluminum, Cadmium)

Heavy metals accumulate in the body and disrupt various functions.

  • Neurological Damage: Mercury and lead can impair brain function, causing cognitive decline, memory loss, mood disorders, and neurodevelopmental issues in children.
  • Kidney & Liver Damage: These organs filter toxins, but heavy metals can overload and damage them.
  • Cardiovascular Problems: Heavy metals can contribute to hypertension, oxidative stress, and heart disease.
  • Immune Dysfunction: Alters immune response, leading to increased susceptibility to infections and autoimmune disorders.

As you can see all of these toxins can interfere with your health. It is important to remove the interference to allow our bodies to function more normal.

We all have these toxins in our body, so If you have an interest in doing this test please contact our office at 704-442-0032.
