Detox With Binders

Jun 1, 2022

We live in a toxic world and there’s no way around it.

When it comes to toxins, there are those you can control and those you can’t.

The good news is you have the choice to avoid toxic pesticides and herbicides, BPA’s, plastics, free radicals, mercury and mold in your foods…

…as well as dangerous chemicals in your household and personal care products by paying closer attention and choosing products that align with your value of health.

Unfortunately you can’t control environmental toxins like arsenic, chromium, lead, mercury, radon and formaldehyde from pollution.

And even if you are eating a healthy diet, pesticides and herbicides can still sneak into your foods.

These are cancer causing toxins and wreak havoc on your endocrine system.

This is why “binders” can be a gentle way to help eliminate these toxins from your body.

A binder latches to toxins that then get excreted through your stool instead of getting reabsorbed in your gut.

There are many types of binders on the market and each may be helpful for different reasons:

  • Chlorella: effective at helping remove heavy metals and other harmful compounds from the body
  • Clays like zeolite and bentonite: absorbs and cleanses the body of harmful elements
  • Charcoal: eliminates and traps toxins and chemicals so they can’t be reabsorbed
  • DIM: supports hormone metabolism
  • Serum-derived bovine immunoglobulins: binds a broad range of microbes and toxins within the gut
  • Fulvic acid: binds and eliminates toxins in the body such as heavy metals
  • Pectin: helps purge toxins from the bloodstream through bile and can also aid in the eliminating harmful substances, such as mercury and lead.

These are a few of my favorite binders that I use personally and recommend to my clients as well:

GI DETOX: Assists in binding toxins including LPS, metals, and unwanted microbial by-products. May assist with mold and mycotoxin clearance. Perfect as a medicine cabinet staple when food or water quality is compromised. Must be taken away from food and other supplements. Important to replenish minerals while using GI Detox.

BioToxin Binder: This formulation includes wild crafted yucca root along with extracts of fulvic acid. This formulation is designed to target specific biotoxins like mycotoxins from mold and ammonia, as well as bacteria, parasites, and other byproducts from yeast, fungi, and viruses. Can be taken with or without food.

HM-ET Binder: Support for heavy metals and environmental toxins contains a special form of carbon that contains extracts of fulvic acid and extracts of humic acid. This BioActive Carbon can be taken with or without food and other supplements without incident.

Once I added binders to my own protocols…I saw a huge shift in my overall gut health and energy too.

This is just one reason we test and don’t guess as a powerful tool in your overall healing.

Hello and Welcome! My name is Carla Alpert, and I’m a Board Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach and Diagnostic Practitioner, focusing on the gut and how it affects your overall health. Think of me as a health detective and wellness coach working in partnership with you to restore your health. We work together to uncover the contributing factors to your chronic symptoms, to eat well, sleep well, move more and stress less.

I love the GI MAP test because it helps my clients and I discover gut dysfunction that may be contributing to daily digestive issues as well as other chronic symptoms like anxiety, fatigue and brain fog. I created this GI MAP Coaching Package to help you stop struggling with your health and get back to living your best life.

What Clients Are Saying

Carla really helped me to figure out my gut pain and issues after so many years. I finally feel like I have energy and clarity around my health! She was so easy to talk to and helped me discover problem areas that were causing me so much distress, when no other doctors could help.
VICTORIA

Well Humans changed my life. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis accompanied by chronic hives. It sprang up out of nowhere and caused bizarre “food allergies” that I’d never had before. Because of Carla’s coaching and dietary recommendations as well as GI Map testing, I can happily say that I am now symptom-free, and I have been in remission for over a year now. All of the doctors I saw told me I would have to deal with my symptoms because there was no cure, but here I am, back to living a mostly normal life. I highly recommend Carla and Well Humans for anyone looking for real answers and treatments that work.
KALYN

When working with Carla, you are in capable, compassionate, knowledgeable and caring hands. Carla truly cares about your well being and wants to help you be the healthiest that you can be. My health was truly suffering and with her guidance and suggested testing, we uncovered some issues that nobody else had uncovered, despite my going to some of the top rated medical institutions. My health and pain improved greatly due to Carla’s sleuthing…she knew where to look. Through many health challenges, I was quite emotional and Carla showed me what compassion looks like. If you want to truly improve your health, start with Well Humans.
BETH

Over years, I’ve tried various “alternative” medicine as well as conventional “western” medicine approaches. Skin ailments are hard to treat – so many aspects of a life can produce skin symptoms. I enthusiastically recommend Well Humans and Carla for a simple reason – I’ve experienced sustained, substantial improvement! I have hardly ever posted a review of anything, but writing this was an easy choice to make. I wish you all the best in your journey towards better health!
JON

I searched the U.S. to find someone who does what Carla does. Carla has used her knowledge, support and expertise to optimize my health and well-being with a blend of scientific medical tests, supplements and diet changes. I wasted a lot of time on my hunches, the internet and experiments with supplements and food and NOW i have an actual plan. Superb supportive knowledge and guidance. I highly recommend Carla. Grateful.
LISA

I never knew that I had a gluten allergy and intolerance until Carla discovered it in my blood work! I’m so grateful that she made this discovery and I have been gluten free ever since. I sleep better, don’t feel bloated and have much more energy. It was a life-changing insight.

Carla is very knowledgeable and kind. She helped me navigate a health issue with grace and the utmost care. Carla goes above and beyond with her clients and I highly recommend her. She genuinely cares!
ALLISON

I have been working with Carla for quite some time and she has helped me turn my life and health around. She is non-judgmental, and always wants the best for her clients. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a fantastic bedside manner. She has truly changed my life for the better and I will always be grateful for everything she has done.
