A toxin is any physiological matter or energy that stresses or damages a biological organism. When we come into contact with toxins, they disturb all aspects of health including our immune system, mental clarity, energy, and metabolic functions. Toxins include, but are not limited to, pesticides, chemicals, plastics, metals, electromagnetic radiation, certain gases, psychological disturbances, and countless other examples.

The toxicity of any substance or energy is dependent on the dose and the rate of exposure. For example, even water can act as a human toxin when ingested in extreme quantities. With respect to your health, we are especially concerned with toxins that are harmful at any dose.

Toxic load refers to the amount of stress being placed on our body due to an accumulation of toxic substances and/or exposure to toxins. Depending on many factors, including our genetic profile, our detox practices, and the rate of exposure, our toxic load can create a wide spectrum of results. At best, our toxic load is well managed and relatively benign. At worst, our toxic load contributes to the development of chronic illness and deadly diseases.

Every one of us carries a toxic load. Luckily, there are things we can do to mitigate exposure and enhance our ability to eliminate toxins. It all begins with becoming aware of our individual toxic load, and learning how we can address it. Let’s assess your toxic load now, and see what opportunities you have to create greater vitality.
