Essays on the science
we build the protocol from.
Long-form reads on toxicant exposure, biomonitoring, and the research behind the DeToˣ masterclass — distilled from the peer-reviewed literature.
Toxicology · Part I
We reviewed over 700 studies on toxins and their detoxification
Part I: the problem. What more than 700 mostly peer-reviewed studies say about what we carry — and what it does.
Our Story
Questions and a deep concern for truth
Does detox actually work? DeToˣ began with that question — and a refusal to settle for an answer that wasn’t backed by evidence.
Environmental Health
What gets out is as important as what gets in
Nutrition gets all the attention. But elimination of the bad stuff is the other half that decides the outcome.
Toxicology
The Other Half of the Picture
Where the previous survey followed the substances, this one follows the damage.
Toxicology
The Big Picture
What the major environmental toxicants do to human health — and why the separate literatures keep rhyming.
Preconception Health
Why you should detox before getting pregnant
A mother’s stored burden becomes her child’s starting exposure — and the pre-conception window is the one time it can be lowered with the full toolkit, safely.
Reproductive Health
Toxins and fertility — a toxic relationship
Sperm counts have halved in half a century. The chemistry behind that trend reaches both sexes, and it works through the hormonal signalling that governs reproduction itself.
Toxicology
The Detox Paradox
Why detox can do more harm than good — how the same acts meant to remove toxins can drive them deeper, strip out what the body needs, or injure it directly.
Environmental Health
Don’t need a detox? Think again.
There is no unexposed control group to join. The only open question is what your burden is — not whether you have one.
Environmental Health
True health starts with what you remove
Contamination has universally become our body’s baseline. Before anything can be added, the retained toxic load is the first thing standing between a person and genuine health.
Environmental Health
How toxins (can) ruin your life
Industrial chemicals are linked to damage across nearly every domain of a life — from the intelligence we are born with to the length of life itself.
Toxicology
Detoxification has become an indispensable tool for modern man
A universal, worsening chemical burden that the body cannot clear on its own is what turns an optional intervention into a necessary one.

What biomonitoring studies reveal
A synthesis of the peer-reviewed literature on human biomonitoring — from HBM4EU’s 23-country dataset to national surveys in Germany, Switzerland, France, Belgium and Greece.
