Toxic overload refers to an accumulation of toxins or harmful substances in the body beyond the body’s natural capacity to eliminate them.
Toxins can come from various sources: environment, food, water, and lifestyle factors such as smoking and alcohol consumption.
When the body is exposed to a toxic overload, it can lead to a range of health problems, including heart disease, stroke, liver disease, digestive disorders, and even cancer to name a few.
“Functional medicine-based detoxification identifies and reverses the root cause of toxic overload in addition to treating its symptoms.”
-Dr. Shapiro
