Your body collects toxins as you go through your day-to-day life, even from behaviors and substances that seem completely harmless.
Thanks to toxins like alcohol, sugar, nicotine, pesticides, heavy metals, smoke, and other chemicals, you can experience unusual symptoms that seem to appear without a cause.
Sometimes, toxins come from within. Your body produces natural hormonal by-products that can also contribute to toxin buildup in your system. Over time, you might notice symptoms like:
- Acne
- Rashes
- Dark undereye circles
- Joint pain or swelling
- Skin changes
- Musculoskeletal aches and pains
While there are many possible causes of symptoms like these, toxins can play a major role in causing or worsening them. You should talk to your provider at Be The Change Health & Wellness Center if you have concerns like these that seem to appear without explanation.
Our Detoxification Methods
We test for toxins, and we remove them through ion foot detoxing and nutrition plans. When you come to the office, your provider might recommend detoxification as a stand-alone treatment or as part of a larger, comprehensive personal wellness plan.

IonCleanse Detoxification
The practice offers ion foot detox, a treatment that pulls toxins out of your body through the soles of your feet. These toxins can come from the products you use, chemicals in the air, and foods or substances you consume.
During your detoxification treatment, you sit comfortably with your feet submerged in purified water with sea salt for about 30 minutes, while the IonCleanse detoxification system removes impurities.
Your provider places an electrical unit called an array into the water, which generates positive and negative ions around your feet to draw out the toxins.
