Holistic Detoxification Treatment Center in NYC

Every day, we are exposed to chemicals, pollutants, and stressors that can overload the body. From heavy metals to mold toxins and endocrine disruptors, these substances interfere with cellular health and metabolism.

At Patients Medical in New York City, our integrative detoxification programs go beyond juice cleanses and temporary fixes. We uncover the root causes of toxic buildup—and support your body’s own detox systems through functional testing, IV therapy, nutritional protocols, and mind-body care.

We don’t just flush. We rebuild, rebalance, and renew.

Why Diabetes Needs a New Approach

Toxic overload happens when your body’s natural detoxification systems—primarily the liver, kidneys, lymph, gut, and skin—are overwhelmed or impaired. Toxins accumulate in tissues, affecting hormones, immunity, metabolism, and mental clarity.

Common Sources of Toxins:
  • Pesticides and herbicides
  • Mold and mycotoxins
  • Plastics and endocrine disruptors (BPA, phthalates)
  • Poor diet (processed foods, alcohol, sugar)

Chronic stress

Our Whole-Person Integrative Care Model

At Patients Medical, we combine traditional reproductive evaluation with functional medicine, advanced hormone testing, targeted supplementation, nutrition therapy, and lifestyle optimization.
Infertility is approached not as a diagnosis — but as a solvable imbalance.

How We Diagnose Infertility

We assess potential toxin burden and health imbalances using a thorough approach:

Comprehensive medical, lifestyle, and exposure history

Heavy metal and toxin panels (blood, urine, provoked testing if needed)

Nutrient and mineral assessments

Inflammation and oxidative stress markers

Liver and kidney function evaluation

Cardiovascular and metabolic testing

Every test helps us uncover why your reproductive system isn’t functioning optimally — and how to correct it.

Signs You May Need a Detox

Toxins can quietly accumulate for years before symptoms appear. Common signs of toxic burden include:

If you’re experiencing any of the above, our team can test for hidden toxins and develop a custom detox plan.

Root Causes: Why You’re Not Detoxing Efficiently

Functional medicine helps us understand why detox pathways slow down or get blocked:

Functional Testing We Use

To build a personalized detoxification plan, we begin with advanced lab testing:

Heavy metal testing (blood, urine, hair)

Mycotoxin testing (urine)

Organic Acids Test (OAT)

GI-MAP or stool testing for gut health

Liver function tests

Nutrient status (vitamins, minerals)

Inflammatory and immune markers

Genetic markers like MTHFR, COMT
