Nice article! Great discussion. I’d add one important distinction: these symptoms can certainly be clues that something deeper deserves investigation, but they aren’t specific to toxicity. Fatigue, disrupted sleep, brain fog, bloating, constipation and migrating aches can have many potential contributors.
That’s why I like to look at three investigative buckets: sensitivities, deficiencies and toxicity—along with the person’s history and appropriate testing. Symptoms give us clues, but they don’t necessarily tell us the cause.
Hi Meghan! Thanks for responding to my comment today. I appreciated your point about testing being key—that really resonated because TEST, DON’T GUESS.™ has been a guiding principle in my own functional wellness work for years. Glad we connected here and I look forward to following your work.
