What is Environmental Detoxification?
The cars with the faulty fuel injectors idling in front of you in traffic. The pesticide-laden produce we often purchase. The sofa cushions seeping flame retardants into your home.
Exposure to environmental toxins punishes our organs daily and puts us at risk of disease, fatigue, skin problems and cognitive and behavioral disorders. Additionally, genetics play a part in our ability to process these toxins. Defects in the MTHFR gene can impair detox capability. Knowing our world today, it's clear that it isn’t easy to escape exposure; compound in any genetic incapacity to properly eliminate those toxins naturally, and you're at particular risk. Knowing how well your body handles these everyday poisons is power, and there are subsequent measures that reduce our contact with environmental toxins and remove those poisons that manage to penetrate our best defenses.
Brentwood Center for Wellness employs natural herbal remedies, clinical nutrition and homeopathy that have been used for centuries to remove impurities from the liver, intestines and kidneys.
In addition to herbal and medicinal remedies, Dr. Henry helps empower patients to reduce stress and manage their daily habits, including their diet, to reduce toxin exposure and encourage homeostasis, or balance.
“We live in world beset with environmental toxins, but we also live in a world that understands – more than ever – the effects of those toxins and the most powerful ways to remove them. Just because we are bombarded constantly doesn’t mean we have to accept the punishment.”
