Episode 473: Dr. Aly Cohen: Hidden Toxins in Your Home (And How to Detox Without Going Broke)


Listen Later

Are we being slowly poisoned by everyday products? Dr. Aly Cohen joins me on the Habits and Hustle podcast to reveal the shocking truth about toxins lurking in our water, food packaging, and personal care items - and more importantly, what we can actually do about it without breaking the bank.

We discuss why your filtered water might still be contaminated, the four essential supplements everyone needs, and her practical "4 A's" approach to detoxification. We also dive into the surprising connection between autoimmune diseases and environmental chemicals and why she thinks infrared saunas might be overhyped.

Dr. Aly Cohen is a board-certified rheumatologist and integrative medicine physician with over 22 years of experience. She's the author of "Detoxify" and founder of The Smart Human platform. After her dog's autoimmune diagnosis led her to investigate environmental health 15 years ago, she's become a leading voice in practical, science-based detoxification strategies.
