Detoxification Profile
Welcome to Therapy Works. You can find our integrated health clinic at Suite 3b/367 Barrenjoey Rd Newport NSW 2106. We offer a range of clinical testing services: Mood and cognition profiling, nutrigenomic profiles, detoxification profiles and hormone and fertility profiles.
In today’s environment we are constantly exposed to toxins and pollutants. Our bodies ability to process and metabolise these toxins may determine overall health levels. Increasing the toxic burden may decrease our body’s innate ability to process toxins, leading to health problems.
What do test results mean?
Certain single nucleotide polymorphisms can affect detoxification enzymes and the ability to effectively process and remove a wide range of compounds.
This Detoxification Profile will help you to better understand your body’s ability to detoxify and to remove certain exogenous and endogenous compounds. Profiled compounds include endogenous hormones, neurotransmitters, waste products, pollutants, heavy metals, pesticides, petrochemicals and other toxins.
Results may improve the detoxification process.
