TOXICITY BURDEN QUESTIONNAIRE
Here's a Toxicity Burden Questionnaire inspired by the Core Restore Detox questionnaire. It assesses symptoms and lifestyle factors that may indicate a high toxic burden in the body.
Toxins invade the body from three main sources:
- the environment (pollution, soil, etc.)
- personal lifestyle choices (smoking, lighting candles, etc.)
- the body’s own metabolic processes (dead cells, turnover, etc.)
The liver is the main organ used to clear out toxins; however, when the total toxic burden of an individual exceeds the capacity for the liver to keep up, it can create weight loss resistance, which leads to the body packaging excess toxins within the fat cells to isolate and protect vital tissues and organs.
When this occurs, it can make weight loss more challenging because the body utilizes fat cells to help protect against toxin exposure throughout the body.
RATING SCALE:
0 = Never 1 = Occasionally 2 = Frequently
Rate each of the following based on your health over the past 90 days. Note your corresponding number next to each symptom.
If you scored higher than you expected and are confused on what steps you should be taking, please reach out! I am happy to help walk through what a personalized lifestyle and liver protocol would look like for you!
If you scored lower than expected and are. now more confused that you previously were because you know something doesn't feel right....that's ok! We can work to dive into other things that might be going awry in your body!
