In the last one hundred years, 80,000 new chemicals have been introduced into our environment. The result is that annually, 6.5 billion pounds of chemicals are released into the air. ² The chemical industry is highly unregulated, and the safety principle established for chemicals is, “innocent until proven guilty”.

Using an “innocent until proven guilty” model for chemicals, is like playing a big game of chemical Russian roulette. Someone eventually gets hurt. 

Chemicals have become so pervasive that you can find them in the farthest reaches of the earth; in the north and south pole, and the deepest parts of the ocean. In fact, the Environmental Working Group found that every single North American shows traces of over 100 known toxic chemicals.

Exposure to these chemicals is associated with some of the most pervasive modern day diseases including:

• autoimmune diseases (over 70 different ones),
• cancer,
• thyroid issues,
• gastrointestinal diseases,
• cardiovascular disease,
• immune dysregulation,
• Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and dementia,
• degenerative diseases,
• and much more

It is becoming more recognized that chemicals play a significant role in everybody’s health. It is imperative to follow a two-pronged approach that includes identifying and avoiding/removing the source of chemicals. And second, clearing the toxins that have settled in the body.  The only way the clearing can be achieved is with detoxification and biotransformation.

In this course, Advanced Clinical Focus on Detoxification and Biotransformation, we will examine how to identify a person’s total toxic load and how to effectively and most importantly safely, clear toxins from the body.

This course is for you if you are a…

• Nutritionist or health coach
• Culinary Nutrition Expert
• Dietitian
• Naturopathic doctor
• Medical doctor
• Nurse or nurse practitioner
• Chiropractor or physiotherapist
• Personal trainer or fitness specialist
• Individual wanting to learn more about detoxification

You will walk away with a solid understanding of how to intelligently detoxify the body, and be able to implement targeted therapies for yourself, your family, clients and/or patients.
