The functional medicine approach to toxicity emphasizes a systematic framework: (1) diagnose genetic detoxification risk, (2) measure body burden via toxin testing and metabolite analysis, (3) identify exposure sources, (4) upregulate detoxification pathways via food and targeted supplementation, (5) reduce ongoing exposures, and (6) facilitate elimination through hydration, fiber, sweating, and bowel movement.
