Join us for a clinical webinar on weight loss safety, fat-stored toxins, and metabolic health, tailored for naturopathic and functional medicine practitioners. Dr. Marjorie Peake, ND, explains the weight loss paradox—why rapid or intensive weight loss (including GLP‑1 use and bariatric surgery) can mobilize persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and other fat-soluble toxins, blunting improvements in diabetes, cardiovascular risk, and cognition. Learn how to use environmental toxins panels, organic acids, and hormone testing to identify high‑risk patients and implement evidence-based detoxification and gradual weight loss protocols in clinical practice.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand how fat loss mobilizes POPs and fat-soluble toxins, impacting diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and brain health.
- Use toxins and organic acids testing to evaluate toxic burden, mitochondrial stress, oxidative damage, and gut dysbiosis in weight loss patients.
- Distinguish high‑risk visceral fat loss from safer patterns and recognize toxin-driven effects on insulin, thyroid, adrenals, and sex hormones.
- Implement stepwise detox and “pretox” strategies (phase I/II/III support, binders, bile and liver support, GI repair, and mitochondrial nutrients) alongside sustainable diet, exercise, sleep, and circadian rhythm optimization.
