What We Treat
Environmental Toxicity
In functional medicine, we manage environmental exposures by identifying and reducing the toxic burden that may be overwhelming the body’s natural detoxification systems. We explore potential sources such as heavy metals, mould, pesticides, air pollutants, household chemicals, and occupational exposures, recognising that even low‑grade, chronic contact can contribute to inflammation, hormonal disruption, immune imbalance, and fatigue. A key part of the process involves supporting the body’s detoxification pathways through optimising gut health, ensuring adequate nutrient status, and strengthening liver and mitochondrial function.
We also look at lifestyle factors—air quality, water quality, dental treatments (e.g. silver filings), personal‑care products, cookware and home environment —to help patients minimise ongoing exposure. By combining careful assessment with targeted support, we aim to reduce toxic load and restore healthier physiological balance.
- Heavy metal toxicity
- Increased sensitivity to chemicals, perfumes, light and sound
- Exposure to mould (respiratory symptoms, fatigue and brain fog)
