Genetic variations (SNPs) in detoxification genes like GSTM1 and variations affecting glutathione synthesis, methylation capacity, and oxidative stress response compromise the body's ability to eliminate toxins, making some people at higher genetic risk for toxin accumulation even at similar exposure levels.

Evidence Quote

“certain genetic variations that compromise our ability to make something like glutathione right glutathione is our most like potent detox molecule and there's some of us we make it but some of us don't make it very well given our genetics so there's that's something called gstm1 [12:58]”
