How Toxic is Your Body?
Free Seminar in Washington, D.C. Explores How to Detoxify the Body and Boost Vitality

WASHINGTON, D.C. — October 6, 2025 — On Friday, October 10th at 7:00 p.m., the Founding Church of Scientology of Washington, D.C. will host a free community seminar titled “Unlock Your Energy: The Purification Rundown® Explained.”
Delivered by Health and Wellness Coach, Carlos Fenwick, the seminar will explore how drugs, chemicals, and environmental toxins accumulate in the body—dulling the senses, lowering energy, and creating a biochemical barrier to both physical and spiritual well-being. Fenwick will explain how the Purification Rundown®, a detoxification program offered by the Church of Scientology, enables an individual to rid himself of the harmful effects of drugs, toxins and other chemicals that lodge in the body and create a biochemical barrier to spiritual well-being.
Carlos Fenwick, a certified Health and Wellness Coach with more than six years of experience at ThetaGold Fitness, brings both professional expertise and personal insight to the topic.

“I wasn’t always a fitness coach,” said Fenwick. “In fact, my journey took a long detour.
Growing up, I was highly active—playing sports, staying strong, and enjoying the natural rhythm of movement and competition.

That lifestyle gave me energy, confidence, and a strong foundation. But when I entered the professional world, everything shifted.
After earning my degree from Middlebury College, I began working on Capitol Hill, where the demands of politics and long hours behind a desk slowly took their toll. Like many high-performing professionals, I found myself sacrificing movement for meetings, and nutrition for convenience. I felt the effects: tight joints, brain fog, low energy, creeping weight gain, and a body that no longer felt like mine.
That period taught me a hard truth: Fitness isn’t a luxury—it’s a form of preventative health care. Reclaiming my health became non-negotiable. I returned to training, immersed myself in mobility science, and began rethinking the entire approach to nutrition and performance.”
At the seminar, attendees will learn:
- How toxins and chemicals affect energy, focus, and mood
- The link between physical detoxification and spiritual well-being
- Steps to improve energy and overall health naturally
- How to assess their own toxicity levels through the “Toxic Test”
A complimentary dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m., followed by the seminar at 7:00 p.m.
The Founding Church of Scientology invites all interested community members to attend this informative and inspiring evening dedicated to better health, greater energy, and a clearer mind.
