Detoxification & Environmental Medicine

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

Environmental toxins, chronic infections, and hidden inflammatory triggers can quietly overwhelm the body’s detoxification and drainage systems. Mold exposure, Lyme disease and coinfections, heavy metals, pesticides, fragrances, plastics, and food toxins can all disrupt the liver, lymphatic system, mitochondria, immune function, and nervous system.

At Denver Sports & Holistic Medicine, I specialize in root-cause detoxification and environmental medicine for both in-clinic and telemedicine patients across the United States.

If you’ve been struggling with chronic symptoms, unexplained illness, or ongoing inflammation that hasn’t improved despite multiple providers, detoxification may be a missing piece of your healing.

What Are the Signs of Toxic Overload?

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

  • Brain fog, memory issues, difficulty concentrating

  • Migratory joint pain or unexplained muscle aches

  • Chronic fatigue, burnout, or post-exertional crashes

  • Neuropathy, tingling, internal vibrations, muscle twitching

  • Sensitivity to light, sound, chemicals, or fragrances

  • Digestive issues (bloating, constipation, diarrhea, nausea)

  • Sleep disturbances or unrefreshing sleep

  • Anxiety, irritability, depression

  • Hormonal imbalances

  • POTS-like symptoms, palpitations, temperature dysregulation

  • Rashes, hives, eczema, psoriasis

  • Immune weakness or frequent infections

These symptoms often appear in patterns seen 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 review your medical history, environment, symptom timeline, and previous treatments. When needed, we use advanced diagnostics including:

  • Mycotoxin testing

  • Tick-borne illness panels

  • Organic acids (OAT)

  • Heavy metals

  • Environmental chemical markers

  • GI-MAP microbiome testing

  • Hormonal and metabolic assessments

Learn more about testing on our
Functional Lab Testing page.

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

Before beginning any deep detoxification, we support:

  • Liver & gallbladder detoxification

  • Lymphatic drainage

  • Bile flow and Phase I/II liver pathways

  • Gut motility and daily elimination

  • Hydration & mineral balance

  • Mitochondrial priming

This step reduces reactions and makes detox safer, especially for sensitive patients.

Gut support is often essential; learn more on our
Gut Health & Digestive Restoration page.

3. Gentle, Targeted Toxin Removal

Once the body is ready, we gradually introduce detox support for:

  • Mycotoxins

  • Heavy metals

  • Endocrine-disrupting chemicals

  • Microbial toxins

  • Biotoxins from Lyme & coinfections

Your personalized plan may include:

  • Binders matched to your toxin profile

  • Antioxidant & glutathione restoration

  • Mitochondrial support

  • Anti-inflammatory nutrition

  • Nervous system balancing

  • Herbal protocols for chronic infections

  • Biofilm disruption

4. Mitochondrial Repair — The Key to Lasting Recovery

Detoxification is incomplete without restoring cellular energy.
We use:

For deeper cellular repair, many patients also benefit from
Longevity & Mitochondrial Health.

5. Nervous System Regulation for Detox Success

Chronic toxicity keeps the body in fight-or-flight, which suppresses detox and healing.
Our nervous system therapies include:

  • Vagus nerve activation

  • Acupuncture

  • Cranial & fascial techniques

  • Regulation-based breathwork

  • Somatic stabilization

  • PEMF-style bioenergetic therapies

Bioenergetic & Nervous System Therapies.

6. Rebuilding After Detox

After reducing toxic load, we focus on:

Telemedicine Available Nationwide

Because environmental illness, mold toxicity, Lyme disease, and chronic complex illness 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.

FAQs About Detoxification & Environmental Medicine

1. Do I need testing before starting detoxification?

Not always, but functional testing can clarify the most effective and safest path.
Learn more here:
→ Functional Lab Testing

2. How long does detoxification take?

Most patients notice improvements within weeks, but deeper detoxification may require months depending on toxic load, infections, and overall resilience.

3. Can detoxification help Lyme disease and coinfections?

Yes. Detoxification reduces inflammation, improves mitochondrial repair, and decreases Herxheimer reactions.

4. Is detox safe for sensitive patients?

Absolutely — we use gentle, paced protocols with a focus on drainage and nervous system regulation.

5. Can detoxification help hormone imbalance?

Yes. Environmental toxins disrupt thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive hormones. Detoxification is foundational for hormonal healing → Hormone & Metabolic Optimization

6. Do you offer detox through telemedicine?

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

Ready to Begin Healing?

Detoxification is not about forcing the body — it’s about supporting the systems responsible for processing, transforming, and eliminating toxins so you can regain clarity, energy, and wellbeing.
