Why Detoxification & liver
health matters
The body's detoxification system involves the liver, gut, kidneys and lymphatic system. When any of these pathways are overloaded or inefficient, the body accumulates substances that drive inflammation, hormonal disruption, fatigue and cognitive symptoms.
Poor detoxification is frequently overlooked as a contributing factor in chronic health conditions, yet it is often measurable and addressable.
Concerns where
Detoxification & liver health
may play a role
Together with Dr Fiona Forbes and the medical team, we use over 400 biomarkers to understand the underlying factors contributing to symptoms.
These concerns are not assessed in isolation, but always in the context of the full biological picture.
How detoxification & liver health
connects to other systems
Liver and detoxification health does not function in isolation. It is intimately connected to several other systems.
Our approach
At Forbes.health, we assess detoxification through markers that show how the body's clearance systems are actually performing. That means looking at oxidative stress, toxic metal burden, gut-liver interactions and the nutritional status that supports detox capacity.
We look at the full picture of what the body is carrying and how well it is clearing it.
“Our role is not only to identify what is out of range, but to understand how the body is functioning as a whole, and what may be driving symptoms beneath the surface.”

How we assess
Relevant testing panels
The most relevant tests depend on the individual, their symptoms and their medical history. For detoxification & liver health, the following panels are frequently used:
Includes markers of oxidative stress, glutathione status, mould and mycotoxin exposure, and microbial metabolites that place a burden on liver detoxification. One of the most useful panels for assessing the broader detox picture.
Assesses 21 heavy metals including arsenic, lead and aluminium. Relevant where heavy metal accumulation is suspected or where chronic symptoms have not been explained by other testing. Heavy metals compete with essential minerals and impair detox enzyme function.
Assesses DNA damage markers and the body's antioxidant capacity. Relevant where detoxification pathways are under significant oxidative burden.
The gut-liver axis means gut health directly affects detoxification capacity. This panel is frequently relevant alongside detox testing, particularly where digestive symptoms, skin conditions or hormonal imbalances are present.
From insight to direction
Whether navigating persistent symptoms or taking a proactive approach, the goal is always the same: to understand what your body is doing and why.
