At Resolve Medical, we specialize in uncovering root causes of cognitive decline—and one of the most overlooked is toxic burden. While memory loss and brain fog are often attributed to aging or stress, emerging research reveals a deeper, more complex picture.
The truth is, certain toxins—hidden in your everyday environment—may be silently contributing to memory loss and increasing your risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
What Is the Toxic Subtype of Alzheimer’s?
Not all cases of Alzheimer’s are the same. One subtype we pay close attention to in our practice is the toxic subtype—a form of cognitive decline triggered by exposure to harmful substances such as:
- Heavy metals like mercury (often from old dental fillings) and lead.
- Mold toxins from water-damaged homes or buildings.
- Pesticides, herbicides, and industrial pollutants.
- Chemical-laden household products that interfere with brain chemistry.
These toxins can accumulate over time and disrupt normal brain function, causing inflammation, oxidative stress, and damage to neurons—long before symptoms appear.
Are You More Vulnerable?
Some people are genetically predisposed to retain toxins due to reduced detoxification capacity. Variations in genes such as MTHFR, GST, and APOE can impair the body’s ability to clear toxins efficiently, increasing risk for early cognitive decline.
If you’ve experienced persistent brain fog, difficulty concentrating, or unexplained fatigue, toxins could be a hidden factor worth exploring.
How We Detect and Address Toxic Load
Resolve Medical uses advanced diagnostic testing to identify the toxic drivers behind cognitive symptoms. These tests can detect:
- Heavy metals through hair, urine, or blood analysis.
- Mycotoxins (mold toxins) that disrupt immune and brain function.
- Neuroinflammatory markers that indicate early damage.
- Genetic vulnerabilities affecting detox pathways.
Early detection allows us to personalize your plan and begin interventions before lasting damage occurs.
Functional Medicine Detox Tools
Once we understand your unique toxic burden, we guide you through a comprehensive, evidence-based detoxification approach:
- Eliminate the source by identifying environmental, dietary, or occupational exposures.
- Support detox pathways with liver-loving nutrients like glutathione, NAC, B vitamins, and antioxidants.
- Use gentle binders such as activated charcoal or bentonite clay to safely escort toxins out of the body.
- Incorporate sauna therapy to help flush fat-soluble toxins through the skin.
- Rebuild resilience with an anti-inflammatory diet, hydration, and restorative sleep.
We also help patients upgrade their environments—installing air and water filters, choosing clean personal care products, and switching to organic foods—to reduce toxic load long term.
The Sooner You Act, the More You Can Prevent
One of the most promising shifts in medicine is that Alzheimer’s can now be detected and addressed before memory loss begins. We no longer have to wait for symptoms to take action.
At Resolve Medical, we’re proud to help patients take proactive steps using the latest in lab testing, neuroscience, and functional medicine protocols.
