Summary

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. What We Discuss: (02:02) The Rise of Toxic Chemicals Since WWII (09:48) Why Your Water Filter Isn't Working (16:05) Symptoms of Toxic Overload (22:15) Top 3 Natural Detoxification Methods (27:29) Hidden Toxins in Food and Packaging (31:02) Heavy Metal Testing: Worth It or Waste?

1:42.1	We have Dr. Ailey Cohen on the podcast. She is a rheumatologist and an integrative medicine doctor and environmental health, you said, correct? Correct. You're a real doctor. That's basically... I don't just play what on television, yes. Or in your podcast, yes. Exactly. Well, so many people now come on and they're written. I find out that they're
2:00.9	chiropractors, not an MD. So now I just want to be very, I want to make sure we're especially
2:05.4	clear. An MD and a specialist have you. She has a new book out called detoxify all about
2:12.7	hidden toxins and what we should be aware of, which I think is, like I said, exceptionally timely.
2:18.6	I think that's like very much in the zeitgeist now about what is happening and how we have to be.
