Detoxification & Environmental Medicine

Root-Cause Healing for Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Heavy Metals & Chronic Illness

Why Detoxification & Environmental Medicine Matters

Detoxification is not about doing “more cleansing.”
It is about repairing the systems your body relies on to process, transform, and eliminate toxins safely — the liver, lymphatic system, gut, mitochondria, immune pathways, and nervous system.

Environmental toxins, chronic infections, and hidden inflammatory triggers can overwhelm these systems, leading to persistent, multi-system symptoms. Mold exposure, Lyme disease and coinfections, heavy metals, pesticides, fragrances, microplastics, and food toxins can all disrupt the brain, immune system, metabolism, hormones, and mitochondrial function.

At Denver Sports & Holistic Medicine, we specialize in comprehensive, root-cause detoxification and environmental medicine for both in-clinic and telemedicine patients nationwide.

If you’ve been struggling with chronic symptoms, unexplained illness, or inflammation that has not improved despite multiple providers, detoxification may be a missing link in your healing.

Signs You May Have Toxic Overload

Chronic toxic burden often presents as multi-system symptoms such as:

• Brain fog, memory issues, slowed thinking
• Migratory joint pain or unexplained muscle aches
• Chronic fatigue, burnout, post-exertional crashes
• Neuropathy, tingling, internal vibrations, twitching
• Sensitivity to light, sound, chemicals, or fragrances
• Digestive instability: bloating, constipation, diarrhea, nausea
• Sleep disturbances or unrefreshing sleep
• Anxiety, irritability, mood changes
• Hormonal instability or irregular cycles
• POTS-like symptoms, palpitations, dizziness
• Rashes, hives, eczema, psoriasis
• Weak immunity or frequent infections

These symptom clusters are common in mold toxicity, Lyme disease, MCAS, chemical sensitivity, post-infectious syndromes, and complex chronic illness.

Conditions That Often Require Detoxification & Environmental Medicine

• Mold toxicity & mycotoxin illness

• Lyme disease & tick-borne coinfections

• Chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS)

• Heavy metal burden

• Multiple chemical sensitivity

• MCAS & histamine intolerance

• Chronic fatigue syndrome

• Fibromyalgia & widespread inflammation

• Leaky gut, SIBO, Candida & microbiome imbalances

• Autoimmune activation

• Environmental illness and “sick building” reactions

• Post-viral & long-haul inflammatory syndromes

Our Root-Cause Detoxification Process

1. Comprehensive Assessment & Exposure Mapping

We begin with a detailed review of your medical history, environment, symptom patterns, and prior treatments. When clinically indicated, we use advanced diagnostics including:

• Mycotoxin testing
• Tick-borne illness panels
• Organic Acids Test (OAT)
• Heavy metal analysis
• Environmental chemical markers
• GI-MAP microbiome mapping
• Hormonal and metabolic assessments

Learn more about testing → Functional Lab Testing

2. Drainage Pathway Optimization (The Foundation of Safe Detox)

Effective detoxification requires open and well-functioning drainage pathways. Before starting deeper detox, we support:

• Liver and gallbladder function
• Lymphatic circulation
• Bile flow and Phase I/II liver pathways
• Gut motility and daily elimination
• Hydration, minerals, and electrolytes
• Mitochondrial “priming” for energy production

This step prevents reactions and protects sensitive patients.

Gut support is often essential.

3. Gentle, Targeted Toxin Removal

Once your body is prepared, we gradually introduce targeted detoxification strategies for:

• Mycotoxins
• Heavy metals
• Endocrine-disrupting chemicals
• Microbial and environmental toxins
• Biotoxins from Lyme and coinfections

Your customized plan may include:

• Binders matched to your toxin profile
• Glutathione repletion and antioxidant therapy
• Mitochondrial cofactors
• Anti-inflammatory nutrition
• Nervous system balancing
• Herbal protocols for chronic infections
• Biofilm disruption when indicated

4. Mitochondrial Repair — The Key to Lasting Recovery

Detoxification is incomplete without restoring cellular energy.

We integrate:

• NAD+ precursor support
• CoQ10, PQQ, alpha-lipoic acid
• Minerals and amino acids
• Red light therapy → Red Light & Photobiomodulation
• Acupuncture for mitochondrial signaling → Acupuncture

For deeper cellular regeneration explore → Longevity & Mitochondrial Health

5. Nervous System Regulation for Detox Success

Chronic toxicity keeps the body in fight-or-flight, suppressing detoxification and healing pathways.
Our nervous system therapies include:

• Vagus nerve activation
• Acupuncture
• Cranial & fascial techniques
• Regulation-based breathwork
• Somatic stabilization
• PEMF-style bioenergetic therapies

Learn more → Bioenergetic & Nervous System Therapies

6. Rebuilding After Detox

Once toxic load decreases, we shift to rebuilding and stabilization:

• • Gut and microbiome repair
  • Immune system recalibration
  • Hormonal restoration → Hormone & Metabolic Optimization
  • Metabolic resilience → → Metabolic Health
  • Tissue and structural recovery → Sports Medicine & Injury Recovery
  • Regeneration when indicated → Regenerative Injection Therapy

Telemedicine Available Nationwide

Because mold illness, environmental toxicity, Lyme disease, and complex multi-system conditions require deep investigation and ongoing support, this service is available via:

• Telemedicine (for most states)

• In-clinic visits (Denver, CO)

Patients travel from around the country to work with us because of our highly individualized, whole-person approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need testing before starting detoxification?

Not always. Testing can greatly improve precision and safety, but foundational detox pathways can be supported even without labs.
Learn more → Functional Lab Testing

2. How long does detoxification take?

Most patients notice initial improvements within weeks, while deeper detoxification often requires months depending on toxin load, infections, and overall resilience.

3. Can detoxification help Lyme disease and coinfections?

Yes. Detoxification reduces inflammation, improves mitochondrial repair, and decreases Herxheimer reactions associated with microbial die-off.

4. Is detox safe for sensitive patients?

Absolutely. We specialize in sensitive and reactive patients using a gentle, paced, nervous-system-aware approach.

5. Can detoxification help hormone imbalance?

Yes. Environmental toxins disrupt thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive hormones. Detoxification is foundational for hormonal repair.

6. Do you offer detox through telemedicine?

Yes. Most detox pathways, protocols, and follow-ups can be managed remotely.
