Rates of chronic illness are soaring in both children and adults—and many are getting sick younger, with no family history to explain it. In this gripping episode, Dr. Aly Cohen, a board-certified rheumatologist and environmental health expert, exposes how tens of thousands of unregulated chemicals are quietly infiltrating our homes, foods, water, and personal care routines. Drawing from her new book Detoxify, Dr. Cohen explains how immune- and hormone-disrupting chemicals are linked to rising rates of autoimmune disease, obesity, anxiety, allergies, and more—and why this chemical overload often begins before a child is even born. But this isn't a doom-and-gloom conversation—it's a call to action. Dr. Cohen shares realistic, affordable ways families can reduce their toxic load, including simple product swaps, smarter food choices, and the surprising power of sweating, sleeping, and even bouncing on a trampoline. With science-backed clarity and mother-to-mother warmth, Dr. Cohen helps us reclaim our health from a system that won't do it for us. If you want to raise healthier kids in a toxic world, this episode is essential. *** Learn more about Dr. Aly Cohen and all she has to offer here Get your copy of Detoxify here Learn more about your ad choices.

When Dr. Aly Cohen's golden retriever got a very rare autoimmune hepatitis diagnosis 15 years ago, she started to explore environmental toxins and their health impacts. As a practicing rheumatologist, she'd noticed increasing rates of autoimmune diseases in younger patients with no family history, suggesting environmental factors might be at play. Dr. Cohen (no relation!) became an expert in toxins and now helps us navigate guarding our health against these assaults on our bodies… in a positive, doable way!

 Are you feeling constantly fatigued, battling unexplained allergies, or dealing with chronic inflammation that just won't quit? If so, your immune system might work against you rather than protect you. In this episode, we're diving deep into the intricacies of the immune system—specifically, how immune reactivity can lead to chronic inflammation, autoimmune conditions, and a host of seemingly unrelated symptoms. Join me as I sit down with Dr. Aly Cohen, a leading expert in environmental health and autoimmune diseases, to uncover the root causes of immune system dysregulation and explore natural, actionable steps to regain balance in your health.  Key Points Understanding the Immune System's Role in Chronic Conditions Dr. Cohen explains the different components of the immune system and how they are supposed to protect us. However, when the immune system becomes "pissed off," as she puts it, it can overreact, leading to a wide range of chronic health issues. Environmental Factors: The Hidden Triggers From plastics to pesticides, environmental toxins are everywhere, and our immune systems haven't evolved to handle them. Dr. Cohen highlights key environmental factors that are often overlooked but can be the root cause of chronic inflammation and immune system overload. Holistic Approaches to Calming the Immune System Dr. Cohen outlines practical, actionable steps to reduce environmental exposures, quiet the immune system, and restore balance. From dietary changes to toxin reduction, she shares her holistic strategies for reducing inflammation and improving overall health.  If you've been struggling with chronic, unexplained symptoms—whether it's skin issues, fatigue, digestive troubles, or autoimmune conditions—it could be that your immune system is in overdrive. Don't let your immune system work against you; learn how to support it naturally.

Autoimmune diseases result when the body's immune system attacks healthy cells of the body. The tissue damage leads in the development of chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and type 1 diabetes. Our guest today is rheumatologist and integrative medicine specialist, Dr. Aly Cohen. Dr. Cohen specializes in treating arthritis, immune system disorders, and women’s health. She has lectured nationally on integrative environmental medicine and recently gave a TEDx talk, “How to Protect Your Kids from Toxic Chemicals.” In this episode, Dr. Cohen helps to explain the complex puzzle of autoimmune diseases. Who gets autoimmune diseases? What are the causes? And what precautions we can take to avoid triggers of autoimmune conditions? Dr. Weil suggests that low level chronic inflammation may be a culprit in the disease’s development. Dr. Maizes discusses how an integrative lens may be helpful in discerning which patients need medication right away and which may begin with lifestyle approaches.

Dr Aly Cohen. MD and environmental health specialist (and very entertaining speaker), gives us the full low-down about our drinking water in the U.S.. She starts out describing how the 160,000 treatment plants in the US make up ~80% of our water sources and are bound only to the regulations, restrictions and testing from the Safe Water Drinking Act of 1974. At that time, and since, it's only federally required to test for 91 known toxic chemicals; 95,000 chemicals have been introduced into our environment since the 1950's, leaving 94,909 untested for in our drinking water, at least 1000 known to be endocrine disruptors (most others are not tested so, for the most part, we don't even know their impact). She reviews some of these in detail (including a review of why endocrine disruptors are called 'disruptors'. What is in our water is cumulative of everything that goes down our drain- pharmaceuticals, metals in pipes, dead animals and literally anything that gets flushed down your toilet or washes into sewers including industrial chemicals and farm run-off. When that is 'purified', it's often done with other chemicals- chlorine or flourine, etc, that often isn't removed after it does its cleansing action. She also notes the variability of the wastewater quality can intimately depend on the day, including any climate events like floods, that also flood the wastewater plants. This is one way that climate change can directly, day by day, impact our water quality. So what to do?!? First of all, avoid chemicals in all ways possible (check out Dr Cohen's website (https://thesmarthuman.com/), TEDx talk "How to Protect Your Kids from Toxic Chemicals" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSCeP0hyuTI), Smart Human Podcast (https://thesmarthuman.com/podcast/) and her Instagram, Twitter & FaceBook page (https://www.facebook.com/TheSmartHuman/). We then do the deep dive into water filtration with the highest recommendations for reverse osmosis (including how this is the minimum set standard for dialysis water used with patients). Listen in! It's not an option! This is information that we need to hydrate our bodies & grow & protect our babies' development, and age with grace. It's water!
