Environmental and Toxic Burden in Bellevue, Washington

Many chronic health concerns have deeper contributors than are often investigated — including long-term exposure to environmental toxins. At Apex Health & Wellness, we take a systems-based approach to identifying and supporting patients with toxic burden from mold, heavy metals, chemicals, and other environmental stressors.

Whether you’re dealing with unexplained fatigue, brain fog, inflammatory symptoms, or known toxic exposures, we help you understand what may be impacting your physiology — and how to restore resilience.

When to Consider Environmental Toxicity

Environmental burden may be playing a role if you experience:

  • Persistent fatigue or post-exertional crashes

  • Brain fog, memory issues, or poor focus

  • Sensitivity to smells, chemicals, or medications

  • Joint or muscle pain with no clear diagnosis

  • Sleep disruption or non-restorative sleep

  • Skin rashes, flushing, or histamine reactions

  • Hormonal disruption or poor detoxification capacity

  • History of mold exposure, water-damaged buildings, or industrial environments

  • Elevated liver enzymes, ferritin, or unexplained lab anomalies

  • A sense of “never fully recovering” despite other treatments

What We Look For

We assess environmental and toxic burden using both clinical presentation and targeted testing. Depending on your history and symptoms, we may evaluate:

  • Mycotoxins (mold-derived toxins in urine)

  • Heavy metals (mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium)

  • Solvent and chemical exposure markers

  • Oxidative stress and glutathione status

  • Nutrient reserves critical for detox (e.g., zinc, B6, magnesium)

  • Mitochondrial stress patterns, inflammation, and immune dysregulation

  • Liver and kidney function markers

  • Genetic and metabolic indicators of impaired detoxification (e.g., MTHFR, GST)

  • Comprehensive toxin panels such as the Total Tox Burden from Vibrant Wellness — combining mycotoxin, chemical, and heavy metal testing in one analysis when clinically appropriate

We also consider toxin load in the context of your nutritional, hormonal, and immune landscape — rather than treating detox in isolation.

Therapeutic Strategies for Reducing Toxic Burden

Your plan may include:

  • Detoxification support and antioxidant repletion, such as:

    • Glutathione (IV or subcutaneous)

    • Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA)

    • N-acetylcysteine (NAC), vitamin C, B vitamins

    • Polyphenols and mitochondrial cofactors

  • Binders to reduce enterohepatic recirculation and aid excretion

    • Activated charcoal, chlorella, or prescription options (if indicated)

  • Chelation therapies (oral or IV when appropriate)
    Used for targeted removal of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic. These are applied carefully and only when clinically indicated based on testing, symptoms, and tolerance.

  • Mitochondrial support for toxin-exposed tissues

    • NAD+, carnitine, CoQ10, phospholipids

    • SS-31 and Poly-MVA in select cases

  • Peptide therapies (e.g., thymosin alpha-1) to support immune resilience and tissue healing

  • IV therapy protocols when oral or food-based approaches are insufficient

  • Environmental and lifestyle modification guidance — including air and water filtration, mold remediation resources, and personal care/chemical minimization strategies

Our goal is not just to “detox,” but to restore your system’s ability to regulate and repair itself — safely, gradually, and sustainably.

Who We Work With

  • Patients with known or suspected mold, chemical, or metal exposure

  • Individuals with multi-system symptoms that haven’t responded to conventional treatment

  • High-performers recovering from burnout or environmental stress

  • Individuals with recurrent illness, poor immune resilience, or long-post-viral symptoms

  • Those seeking proactive assessment of toxin load as part of a longevity or performance strategy

Your Path to Clarity and Recovery: A Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1: Exposure & Symptom Assessment
A detailed history and consultation to understand your environmental exposures, symptoms, and medical background.

Step 2: Strategic Testing (if indicated)
We run advanced lab panels tailored to your presentation — focusing on toxins, detox capacity, and system-wide impact.

Step 3: Personalized Restoration Plan
Your protocol may include binders, chelation, antioxidant therapies, IV support, peptides, and environmental upgrades to support recovery and resilience.
