Understanding Environmental Medicine and Healing
Our health is significantly influenced by the environment we live in, which includes the spaces we inhabit and the quality of our air, water, and food. Certain chemicals used daily are linked to serious health problems, including cancer. As a specialist in environmental medicine, Dr. Terry Fong ND assesses your symptoms, seeking to identify if toxins and toxicants are primary causative agents for health issues.
In addition to addressing these factors, environmental healing, another focus at Solidago Health, aims to create spaces that promote health, balance, and well-being. Through a blend of environmental medicine and healing, Dr. Fong works to reduce exposure to harmful substances, improve overall health, and potentially prevent certain health conditions.
Terry Fong’s Approach to Environmental Medicine and Healing
Dr. Fong’s approach begins with a comprehensive 1.5-hour assessment to understand your symptoms, residence, job history, hobbies, and potential exposure to various toxins. This exploration could lead to further analysis through blood, urine, or saliva tests to measure current and past toxic exposures.
Toxicants investigated include:
- MycoToxins (toxins released from mold)
- Heavy Metals (e.g., mercury, lead, arsenic, aluminum, thallium, etc.)
- BPA
- Phthalates
- Parabens
- Solvents
- PCBs
- Pesticides
- Organic Phosphate
- Pesticides
- Triclosan
Based on this assessment, Dr. Fong provides recommendations to transform your living and working spaces into healing environments. She considers various factors, such as indoor air quality, exposure to natural light, and potential allergens or toxins.
