Medical Detox Center in Mankato, MN
No pursuit of optimal health is truly complete without addressing the build-up and elimination of harmful toxins within the body. At the Between the Bridges Healing Center Detox Center, you will receive personalized, physician-supervised care designed specifically for your individual detoxification needs. You will retreat to a peaceful farmhouse on more than 20 acres along the Watonwan River in Madelia, Minnesota — a unique healing environment created exclusively for clients of Between the Bridges Healing Center. Here, we identify the toxins making you sick, design a program specific to you, and give you the resources to restore your body’s natural detoxification process.
Why Detoxify?
Toxins surround us every day — in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink. We are all exposed to toxins from birth; studies have revealed up to 200 known environmental toxins in umbilical cord blood alone. Extensive research has linked chronic disease directly to the accumulation of individual toxins in the human body. The prevailing theory is that illness occurs when there is either an excess of toxins or an insufficient level of the body’s natural anti-toxin defenses.
The benefits of medically supervised detoxification are far-reaching. By restoring a healthy balance within your body’s detoxification systems, you may help prevent or improve many serious health conditions — including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer-related symptoms, gastrointestinal disorders, osteoporosis, chronic fatigue, and more. Combined with our functional medicine and nutritional therapy programs, detoxification forms a powerful foundation for whole-body healing.
Your Personalized Detoxification Protocol
Each patient at Between the Bridges Healing Center receives a fully individualized detoxification protocol designed by Dr. Jeffrey Kotulski — a triple board-certified doctor of osteopathy, functional medicine specialist, and orthomolecular medicine expert. Your program may include a customized combination of:
- Dietary restrictions and therapeutic nutritional guidance
- Nutritional and detoxification supplements and medical foods
- Gut restoration protocols with extra fiber and probiotics
- Digestion enhancement therapies
- Magnesium and Vitamin D level testing and optimization (both critical for hormonal balance and reducing inflammation)
- Chelation therapy for patients with elevated heavy metal levels
- FAR infrared sauna therapy to safely penetrate deeply into the skin and remove accumulated toxins
- HOCATT chamber therapy, using infrared light and steam to oxygenate tissue and initiate deep detoxification
- HydroMassage therapy, which uses pressurized water to increase circulation, relieve muscle tension, and enhance lymphatic flow — fully clothed and completely relaxing
All supplements recommended through your detox protocol are safe, effective, and physician-approved. Dr. Kotulski is uniquely qualified to address toxicity in the human body, and his integrative approach to detoxification is one of the most comprehensive available in southern Minnesota.

Why is medical detoxification important for overall health?
Our bodies are continuously exposed to environmental toxins — in the air, food, and water. Over time, these toxins can accumulate and disrupt normal organ function, contributing to chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, and more. Medically supervised detoxification helps restore balance, reduce the toxic burden on your organs, and create the conditions needed for natural healing.
What does a detox protocol at Between the Bridges Healing Center include?
Each detox protocol is fully personalized by Dr. Kotulski and may include dietary modifications, physician-approved supplements and medical foods, gut restoration, chelation therapy, FAR infrared sauna, HOCATT chamber therapy, and HydroMassage. Every element of your protocol is designed around your individual toxin profile and health goals.
What is chelation therapy and when is it used?
Chelation therapy involves the administration of agents that bind to heavy metals in the bloodstream, allowing them to be safely excreted by the body. At Between the Bridges Healing Center, chelation therapy is offered when a patient’s heavy metal levels exceed healthy limits, as part of their individualized detox protocol. The type and frequency of treatment depends on the specific heavy metals identified.
What is the HOCATT chamber and how does it aid detoxification?
The HOCATT (Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Therapy) chamber uses infrared light, steam, and ozone to heat the body and initiate a deep detoxification process. It also oxygenates tissue and provides anti-aging aesthetic benefits. It is one of the most advanced detox tools available and is part of the comprehensive programs at the Between the Bridges Healing Center Detox Center.
How does detoxification relate to other services at Between the Bridges Healing Center?
Detoxification works hand-in-hand with our functional medicine, nutritional therapy, and integrative healthcare services.
