At Sage Wellness, we support your body’s natural detox pathways through functional lab review, health coaching, and lifestyle education. 

Environmental toxin exposure is one of the most commonly overlooked factors in how people feel. Many people are doing everything right — eating well, exercising, managing stress — and still experiencing persistent fatigue, brain fog, hormonal disruption, or unexplained symptoms. Identifying and reducing toxic load is often an important piece of that puzzle.

We help you understand your current exposure patterns, review functional labs, and develop practical strategies to reduce toxin burden and support the body’s natural elimination pathways.

Common Sources of Environmental Toxins

Exposure happens through everyday life, often without awareness. Common sources include:

Household and Personal Care Products

  • Synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates, and triclosan in cosmetics and cleaning products
  • Cleaning sprays, detergents, and air fresheners

Food and Water

  • Pesticides and herbicides such as glyphosate on conventionally grown produce
  • BPA and plastic residues from food packaging and containers

Air and Indoor Environments

  • Vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions
  • Indoor air pollutants from furniture, carpets, and building materials including formaldehyde and VOCs

Occupational and Lifestyle Exposure

  • Higher exposures common in beauty salons, auto shops, farming, and construction
  • Cigarette smoke and alcohol, both of which increase the liver’s overall toxic burden

Functional Lab Panels We May Review

We use functional lab testing to get a clearer picture of your individual toxic load. These panels are reviewed in a wellness coaching context to guide lifestyle and nutritional recommendations — not for medical diagnosis. We may review:

Environmental Pollutants Panel

Screens for exposure to pesticides, plasticizers such as BPA and phthalates, and common solvents.

Glyphosate Testing

Identifies residues from one of the most widely used herbicides in the food supply and water sources.

Organic Acids Testing (OAT)

Provides markers related to oxidative stress, detox pathway function, and overall metabolic health that can help guide nutritional support strategies.

Supporting Your Body’s Natural Detox Pathways

Once we have a clearer picture of your toxic load, we work with you to develop a personalized wellness plan focused on reducing exposure and supporting the body’s natural ability to process and eliminate toxins. This may include:

Nutritional Support

Education on specific nutrients, foods, and professional-grade supplements that support liver function, methylation, and glutathione production — the body’s primary internal antioxidant.

Gentle Detox Strategies

Guidance on binders such as activated charcoal or zeolite, botanical supplement support, and antioxidant-rich dietary approaches to reduce toxic burden over time.

Lifestyle Recommendations

Practical strategies including sauna use, hydration, movement, and recommendations for cleaner air and water at home — all of which support the body’s lymphatic and elimination systems.

Our Approach

We don’t believe in aggressive or one-size-fits-all detox programs. Our approach is data-informed, individualized, and focused on sustainable lifestyle changes that reduce ongoing exposure while supporting the body’s natural capacity to clear what’s already there. We take this step by step, at a pace that works for your body and your life.

If you’re curious about how environmental toxins may be affecting your health and wellbeing, we’d welcome the opportunity to explore that with you.
