Detoxification
Detoxification: Reset Your Body, Renew Your Health
Every day, your body is exposed to toxins—from food, water, air, and even stress. Over time, these substances can accumulate and contribute to fatigue, inflammation, brain fog, and chronic illness. At the practice of Michael Varveris, MD, we offer science-based detoxification programs designed to support your body’s natural cleansing systems and restore optimal function. Whether you’re struggling with sluggishness, hormonal imbalance, or just feel “off,” detoxification may be the reset your body needs.
All of us suffer from varying degrees of toxicity. This toxicity is caused both by our behavior and activities (i.e. drinking, eating, and smoking) as well as by our environment (i.e. pollution in the air, earth, and water). Alcohol, caffeine, and sugar are potentially toxic to many people. Various over-the-counter and prescription drugs (even Tylenol) can have toxic effects in certain individuals. Heavy metals (such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury), as well as volatile organic pollutants (such as insecticides, pesticides, and plastics), are highly toxic substances found throughout our environment.
Low levels of beneficial intestinal micro-organisms and/or high levels of abnormal intestinal micro-organisms can also cause toxicity. Even seemingly unrelated things like excess abdominal fat or poor handling of stress can contribute to overall toxicity.
Toxicity levels build as we age, and reducing them can be helpful in slowing the process as well as reversing many of the associated disease states. With his detailed detoxification program, Dr. Varveris assesses the extent of your current toxic load and how well your body is handling it. If the level is excessive and/or interfering with important bodily functions, he will develop an individualized detox plan (using the natural detoxification powers of the gut, kidney, liver, and skin) that is both safe as well as highly effective in order to reduce and stabilize the levels of toxins, allowing your body to return to the state in which it is healthiest.
Elite Iodine
Our Elite Iodine is a high potency iodine supplement, supplying both iodine and iodide. As a result of decreased iodine status due to the typical Western diet, optimal thyroxine is not always produced, thus potentially affecting normal thyroid function.* The use of oral iodine/iodide can aid in circumventing this issue. Although approximately 80% of the dietary intake of iodine is sequestered by the thyroid gland, other tissues concentrate iodine as well. These tissues include the salivary glands, the gastric mucosa, the choroid plexus, the mammary glands and the ovaries. Published information suggests iodine/iodide helps to maintain healthy hydroxyl estrogen ratios as well
Elite Multi-Vitamin
Our Elite Multi-Vitamin is a versatile, balanced multiple vitamin and mineral supplement, that supplies unique forms of important micro-nutrients available exclusively from Biotics Research Corporation.

Probiotic supplements are classically known to contain viable, defined microorganisms in sufficient quantities which work to alter the microbiota and, thus, exert beneficial health effects.* Our Elite Probiotic is a specific blend of 3 prebiotics and 7 probiotics extensively tested to ensure optimal colonization with bacterial strains recognized for their bioactivity. It contains 20 billion viable organisms per capsule, providing optimal probiotic coverage.
