Environmental Toxin Testing

Meaning

Environmental Toxin Testing is a specialized clinical assessment designed to quantify the presence of various xenobiotics, heavy metals, and persistent organic pollutants in the human body that can interfere with normal endocrine function. These substances, often referred to as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), can mimic, block, or alter the metabolism of endogenous hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid hormones. This diagnostic approach is crucial for identifying external factors contributing to unexplained hormonal imbalances, fertility issues, and metabolic dysfunction in patients. The results guide targeted detoxification and avoidance strategies to restore hormonal homeostasis and mitigate long-term health risks.
