Binders are a crucial part of any detox protocol. Like their name suggests, they “bind” to toxins and help pull them out of the body.

You can use binders to help detox:

• Mold and mycotoxins
• Heavy metals
• Biotoxins from Lyme and/or parasitic infections
• Pesticides
• Herbicides
• Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

There are several different types of binders, and each one can attract different toxins. The right one depends on your specific goals and condition. Reach out for help finding the one that’s right for you.

Mold exposure may be affecting your health without you even realizing it.

Possible signs of mold toxicity include:

• Chronic fatigue and brain fog
• Headaches and migraines
• Seasonal allergies
• Asthma and breathing problems
• Anxiety of trouble sleeping
• Digestive issues

Mold toxicity can appear differently in everyone, and it is often hard to detect. As a result, people with mold toxicity are commonly misdiagnosed with respiratory issues, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease/dementia, irritable bowel syndrome or IBS, crohn’s and colitis.

Some hidden sources of mold include:

• Mattresses
• Air conditioning units
• Toilets and showers
• Fruit
• Coffee
• Grains
• Corn

If you have a chronic health condition you can’t solve, it may be a good idea to get tested for mold exposure. (Psst! This is something I can test for — and help you detox from — right here in our clinic. Reach out to learn more.)

It doesn’t take much to throw off your hormones, and xenoestrogens can be the tipping point.

Xenoestrogens are endocrine disrupting chemicals that impact your ability to excrete estrogen, increasing your risk of other health problems like:

• Cancer
• Infertility
• Low progesterone, low testosterone
• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Thyroid dysfunction

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may be suffering from estrogen dominance caused by prolonged exposure to xenoestrogens:

• Depression
• Low libido/sex drive
• Mood swings
• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Headaches/migraines
• Tender/fibrocystic breasts
• Weight gain

In addition to switching out your personal care and cleaning products for safer alternatives, kidney and liver detoxes (like the ones available through my clinic) can help rid your body of harmful xenoestrogens.

Chances are you have a substantial amount of toxic glyphosate in your body.

Glyphosate is a herbicide used to kill weeds. It has also been linked to serious health issues like:

• Cancer
• Gastrointestinal issues
• Hormone imbalance
• Immune system dysfunction
• Liver and kidney problems
• Mitochondrial DNA damage

Sadly, glyphosate is hard to avoid given how often it’s used. Foods associated with the highest levels of glyphosate include:

• Non-organic fruits and vegetables
• Corn-based products
• Soy-based products
• Bread and baked goods
• Breakfast cereals
• Processed food
• Seed oils like vegetable/canola oil

Organic farming prohibits the use of glyphosate, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be any glyphosate residue on your food. Plus, you can still be exposed to glyphosate through your skin and particles in the air.

If you’re struggling with any of the conditions above, it may be worth considering getting tested for glyphosate toxicity. This is something I can do right here in my clinic. Reach out if you’re interested in learning more.
