Summary

What if the products you use every day—your toothpaste, your shampoo, your food containers—were silently hijacking your hormones, damaging your immune system, and passing that disruption on to future generations?


In this explosive conversation, Darin sits down with Dr. Aly Cohen, triple board-certified physician and founder of The Smart Human, to unpack the shocking reality of unregulated chemicals in our homes, food, and water. Together, they explore the science behind endocrine disruption, the failures of U.S. chemical policy, and how simple daily swaps can radically reduce your toxic burden. This episode is not about fear—it’s about power. It’s about reclaiming your right to live clean.
