Detoxify Your Life Without Losing Your Mind with Dr. Aly Cohen

"Chemicals are actually more dangerous at low doses than high ones... they're small amounts, but they're able to do a lot with the size and concentration and power of what they are." – Dr. Aly Cohen

I invited back triple board-certified physician Dr. Aly Cohen to tackle the intimidating world of environmental toxins. As a rheumatologist, internist, and integrative medicine specialist, she brings a uniquely practical approach to a topic that can feel overwhelming. What I love about Aly's perspective is her emphasis on making reasonable, sustainable changes rather than attempting perfection. We explored how these small daily exposures accumulate in our bodies over time, the biggest offenders to focus on first, and her practical four-step process for reducing your toxic load without driving yourself crazy. If you've ever felt paralyzed by information overload about toxins, this conversation offers a refreshingly sane roadmap to better health.

 

What you’ll learn:

• Why low-dose chemical exposures can be more dangerous than acute exposures and how they accumulate over time

• The "Four A's" approach to detoxification that makes reducing toxins manageable

• Which toxin sources make the biggest impact on your health (and should be addressed first)

• How clean food and water choices can immediately remove thousands of harmful chemicals from your daily exposure

• The powerful connection between toxins and weight challenges, including how toxins can prevent weight loss

• Why filtering your water is one of the highest-impact changes you can make

• Simple travel hacks to reduce your toxic load even when away from home

• The importance of adding in foods and practices that support your body's natural detoxification
