What if the hidden toxins in your everyday life are secretly sabotaging your health, hormones, and longevity? Most people underestimate how deeply their health is impacted by toxins—and conventional medicine isn't addressing the root of the issue.

In this episode of Extend, I'm joined by Dr. Aly Cohen, renowned integrative rheumatologist, environmental health expert, and author of the upcoming book, Detoxify. We uncover the shocking truth about the tens of thousands of unregulated chemicals lurking in your home, food, water, and even your skincare products—and reveal why detox isn't about trendy cleanses, but smarter daily choices.

We dive into why microplastics have infiltrated every part of your body (including your brain), how seemingly innocent products are disrupting your hormones, metabolism, and immune system, and what practical steps you can immediately take to dramatically reduce your toxic exposure.

Dr. Cohen shares eye-opening facts on why your tap water is more polluted than you think, why household dust is toxic waste in disguise, and how simple nutritional strategies can powerfully protect you from environmental harm.
