Environmental Toxins Testing in Myrtle Beach
Identify and Eliminate Hidden Toxins Affecting Your Health
Every day, we are exposed to environmental toxins — in the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, and even the products we use. Over time, these toxins can accumulate in the body, disrupt hormones, weaken immunity, and contribute to chronic health conditions.
At Unity Health in Myrtle Beach, we offer comprehensive environmental toxins testing to identify your body’s toxic burden and develop a personalized plan to safely reduce it. Our goal is not just to treat symptoms, but to uncover the root causes of fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and other unexplained health concerns.
Why Environmental Toxins Matter
Environmental toxins come from many common sources, including:
-
Pesticides and herbicides in food
-
Heavy metals (mercury, lead, arsenic) in water and seafood
-
Mold and mycotoxins in homes and workplaces
-
Plastics, phthalates, and BPA in packaging
-
Air pollution, cleaning chemicals, and personal care products
When the body’s detoxification systems (liver, kidneys, gut, and lymphatic system) are overloaded, toxins build up and interfere with natural processes such as hormone balance, immune defense, and energy production.
Symptoms That May Indicate Toxin Overload
You may benefit from toxins testing if you experience:
-
Chronic fatigue or low energy
-
Brain fog, memory issues, or difficulty concentrating
-
Hormonal imbalances (thyroid, estrogen, testosterone)
-
Unexplained weight gain or resistance to weight loss
-
Headaches or migraines
-
Digestive problems (bloating, constipation, diarrhea)
-
Allergies or frequent illness
-
Skin issues such as rashes, acne, or eczema
-
Mood changes, anxiety, or irritability
Many patients come to us after being told “everything looks normal” on standard labs, yet their symptoms persist. Environmental toxins testing can reveal hidden factors contributing to these problems.

FAQs — Environmental Toxins Testing
Q: Is toxins testing safe?
A: Yes. Testing uses non-invasive samples such as urine or hair, and all labs are certified for accuracy.
Q: Can toxins testing really explain my symptoms?
A: While not the only factor, toxic burden often contributes to fatigue, brain fog, hormone issues, and weight struggles. Identifying it can be a breakthrough for many patients.
Q: Do I need to “detox” before testing?
A: No. We want to test your baseline exposure levels first to create the right plan.
Q: Will I need to change my diet or lifestyle?
A: Likely yes. A detox plan often includes adjustments to food, supplements, and environment. But these changes are tailored to be manageable and sustainable.
Q: How long does it take to see results?
A: Many patients begin noticing improvements in energy, clarity, and mood within weeks of beginning their personalized detox program.
Q: Is toxins testing covered by insurance?
A: Most functional medicine toxin panels are self-pay, but we’ll review costs upfront so there are no surprises.
