Scoring
Take a look at your overall quiz results and see which health sections you seem to be doing the best and what areas need some work. Those are the areas where you have underlying imbalances that must be corrected. After adding up your total point total see what
toxicity stage you’re at below:
toxicity stage you’re at below:
Stage 1: 0-9 points
Congratulations it looks like you’re doing great! You appear to be well and it seems like you have your health under control. Just make sure you are not adding to your total body burden with continued stress, lack of sleep, poor eating, etc.
In terms of detoxification, it is recommendation at this point to only engage in a seasonal 7-day detox to keep up with and remove the continual accumulation of toxins. Do also try to incorporate a healthy daily routine to stay well and balanced.

stage 2: 10-19 points
It looks like you’re doing pretty well, but you’re starting to see the effects of hidden toxicities expressing themselves on the outside as
symptoms. It’s also at this point that you may be moving towards a dis-ease state unless you begin to remove the toxins that you have accumulated. A formal 7, 14, or 21-day detox is advised and then seasonal detoxes after that to maintain optimal health and balance. It is also highly recommended to incorporate daily healthy living routines.

Stage 3: 20+ points
Your body is now showing signs of toxic overload and total body burden. Most likely, you are feeling the effects of this toxicity in your
daily life in terms of inflammation, lowered vitality, lowered mood, and less overall “get up and go.” A 21-day detox is recommended followed by a seasonal 7, 14, or 21-day detoxes to decrease toxic accumulation until you reach a score of 10 or less. At that point you can simply drop down to one 7-day detox seasonally/quarterly.
