This module focuses on the body’s natural detoxification pathways, including the liver, gastrointestinal system, and kidneys, and how they support the removal of environmental toxins. Learners will explore the impact of toxins such as heavy metals, mycotoxins, and chemicals on the body and effective functional strategies for reducing exposure and supporting detoxification.

What this module will explore:

• • In-depth review of the detoxification systems in the body (liver, GI, kidneys)
  
  • Discussion of the types of toxins commonly found in the environment (e.g., heavy metals, mycotoxins, pesticides)
  
  • Functional approaches to reducing toxin exposure and minimizing toxic burden through diet, supplementation, and detoxification protocols

Why It Matters

Toxins from the environment can accumulate in the body and lead to chronic health issues, including neurological, digestive, and immune dysfunction. By supporting detoxification pathways, functional medicine practitioners can help reduce the toxic load on the body, enhancing overall health and resilience.
