Environmental Toxins
Environmental Toxins: Mapping Your Chemical Exposure
Here's what wellness influencers won't tell you: avoiding obvious toxins isn't enough. The average person carries over 700 synthetic chemicals in their body at any given time. Pesticides from conventional produce. Plastics leaching into food and water. Flame retardants from furniture. Industrial chemicals in personal care products.
Environmental toxin testing measures your actual body burden of pesticides, plasticizers, volatile organic compounds, mycotoxins, and industrial chemicals. Unlike guessing which products might be problematic, testing reveals exactly which toxins have accumulated in your tissues and how they're affecting your health.
AgeRejuvenation provides comprehensive toxin screening that identifies specific chemical exposures conventional medicine never checks. We measure organophosphates, phthalates, parabens, benzene metabolites, mycotoxins, and dozens of persistent organic pollutants disrupting your hormones, metabolism, and immune function.
What is Environmental Toxin Testing?
Environmental toxin testing identifies chemical exposures from everyday products, contaminated food and water, air pollution, and workplace hazards that accumulate in tissues and disrupt normal physiology. Comprehensive screening measures multiple chemical classes simultaneously, revealing your total toxic burden rather than isolated exposures.
Comprehensive panels screen for pesticides and herbicides, plasticizers and BPA, personal care chemical additives, industrial solvents and VOCs, flame retardants, and mycotoxins from mold exposure. Results show not only which toxins are present but their levels relative to reference ranges, revealing whether accumulation has reached clinically significant thresholds.
This data transforms vague detoxification advice into targeted interventions addressing your specific exposures. Contact us to design a testing panel matching your symptoms and exposure history.
Conditions We Treat with Environmental Toxin Testing
Chemical exposures create widespread dysfunction affecting hormones, immunity, neurological function, and metabolic health. Our testing identifies toxic burdens contributing to conditions conventional medicine struggles to treat effectively.
Hormone Imbalance and Endocrine Disruption
Phthalates, BPA, parabens, and organochlorine pesticides are endocrine-disrupting chemicals that mimic, block, or alter natural hormones. These compounds bind to estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid receptors, creating symptoms doctors attribute to aging or stress. Women experience irregular cycles, fertility problems, and early menopause. Men face low testosterone, erectile dysfunction, and metabolic changes. Testing identifies specific disruptors and guides elimination strategies that restore hormonal balance.
Chronic Fatigue and Mitochondrial Toxicity
Many environmental chemicals directly damage mitochondria, the cellular power plants producing energy. Pesticides like glyphosate, industrial solvents, and mycotoxins from water-damaged buildings impair mitochondrial respiration, creating profound fatigue unrelated to sleep or activity levels. Conventional medicine dismisses this exhaustion as depression or fibromyalgia, missing the underlying toxic burden destroying cellular energy production.
Neurological Symptoms and Cognitive Decline
Organophosphate pesticides, solvents like toluene and benzene, and mycotoxins cross the blood-brain barrier and trigger neuroinflammation. Symptoms include brain fog, memory problems, mood disorders, and headaches.
Autoimmune Disease and Immune Dysregulation
Chemical exposures trigger immune system confusion and excessive inflammation. Pesticides, heavy metals, and mycotoxins activate autoimmune pathways, causing the body to attack its own tissues.
Metabolic Syndrome and Weight Loss Resistance
Obesogens are chemicals that disrupt metabolism and promote fat storage. Phthalates, BPA, and organotins alter insulin signaling and adipocyte function, making weight loss nearly impossible despite diet and exercise.
Respiratory Problems and Chemical Sensitivity
VOCs from building materials, cleaning products, and air fresheners trigger asthma, chronic cough, and multiple chemical sensitivity. Testing identifies specific compounds causing reactions.
Advantages of Environmental Toxin Testing with AgeRejuvenation
Our comprehensive screening identifies the full spectrum of chemical exposures affecting your health, providing clarity when symptoms have no conventional explanation.
Multi‒Class Chemical Screening
We test for pesticides, plasticizers, industrial chemicals, mycotoxins, and personal care additives in a single comprehensive panel. Isolated testing misses the reality of multi-chemical exposure. Your symptoms result from cumulative burden across chemical classes, not individual compounds. Complete profiling reveals which exposures dominate your toxic load and require priority intervention. We measure organophosphates, pyrethroids, glyphosate, phthalates, BPA and BPA alternatives, parabens, triclosan, and volatile organic compound metabolites.
Exposure Source Identification
Testing reveals not just what's in your body but likely sources. Specific pesticide patterns point to conventional produce or lawn treatments. Phthalate profiles indicate plastic food containers or personal care products. VOC patterns suggest building materials, cleaning products, or occupational exposure.
Evidence‒Based Elimination Strategy
Knowing your specific exposures allows targeted intervention. We identify which products to replace, which foods to avoid, and which environmental modifications matter most for reducing your burden.
Monitoring Detoxification Progress
Serial testing tracks how effectively your body eliminates toxins after implementing exposure reduction and detoxification support. We adjust protocols based on elimination rates and symptom improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are endocrine disruptors and where are they found?
Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that interfere with your hormone system by mimicking, blocking, or altering natural hormone production and signaling. Common sources include phthalates in plastic food containers and personal care products, BPA in can linings and receipts, parabens in cosmetics and lotions, and pesticides on conventional produce. These chemicals bind to estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid receptors, creating hormone imbalances that conventional medicine often misdiagnoses as natural aging or stress-related conditions.
How do environmental toxins contribute to weight loss resistance?
Certain chemicals called obesogens directly disrupt metabolism by altering insulin signaling, promoting fat cell formation, and changing how your body stores and burns energy. Phthalates, BPA, tributyltin, and some pesticides reprogram adipocytes (fat cells) to store more fat while simultaneously making it harder for your body to break down stored fat for energy. This metabolic disruption explains why some people cannot lose weight despite perfect diet and exercise compliance, as chemical exposures have fundamentally altered their metabolic programming.
Is glyphosate (Roundup) included in the environmental toxin panel?
Yes, comprehensive environmental toxin testing includes glyphosate and its primary metabolite AMPA (aminomethylphosphonic acid). Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world, present in conventional grains, beans, and produce, as well as contaminating water supplies in agricultural areas. Testing reveals your accumulation levels and helps determine if glyphosate exposure contributes to gut dysbiosis, immune dysfunction, or mitochondrial damage.
How can I reduce my exposure to toxins after getting my results?
Test results identify your specific high-priority exposures, allowing targeted changes rather than overwhelming lifestyle overhauls. Common interventions include switching to glass or stainless steel food containers, choosing organic versions of the most contaminated produce, replacing personal care products containing identified chemicals, improving indoor air quality, and filtering drinking water. We provide a personalized reduction plan based on your specific toxin profile, focusing on changes that eliminate your highest exposures first.
Can environmental toxins cause autoimmune or neurological symptoms?
Absolutely. Many environmental chemicals trigger immune dysregulation and cross the blood-brain barrier to cause direct neurological damage. Pesticides, heavy metals, mycotoxins, and industrial solvents activate inflammatory pathways that lead to autoimmune conditions where the body attacks its own tissues. These same toxins cause neuroinflammation, neurotransmitter disruption, and mitochondrial dysfunction in brain cells, producing symptoms like brain fog, memory problems, mood disorders, tremors, and cognitive decline that conventional neurology cannot explain.
