Sadly babies and children are inherently more vulnerable to chemical exposure. The effects of chemicals on these age groups are profound. This is due in part to the immaturity of very young immune systems, the underdeveloped blood-brain barrier, and the limited detoxification capacity of the liver at this young age. There is significant evidence to show the long-term effects of chemical exposure on the brain, learning and behavioural difficulties.

Not only do these chemicals result in disease states at an early age, but are also linked to later life diseases ranging from obesity to cancer, cardiovascular disease and difficulties with reproduction.

At the Surrey Centre for Nutrition, Libby uses a functional medicine approach to identify and clear toxins including chemicals, heavy metals, moulds, and pathogens to return you or your child to a point of health.

If any of these conditions are limiting your or your child's enjoyment and functioning in life, Libby’s environmental and functional medicine approach could help by addressing the underlying environmental factors playing a part in the evolution of the disease and the prevention of wellness.
