Episode 137: Environmental Toxins Are Messing With Your Body—Here's How to Fight Back with Dr. Aly Cohen

Rheumatologist and environmental health expert Dr. Aly Cohen reveals a shocking truth: we're all toxic until proven otherwise. From the outdated 1974 Safe Drinking Water Act to the 10,000+ untested chemicals in our food supply, she explains why our bodies are fighting an uphill battle against chronic inflammation. But here's the reality—you don't need to wait for government regulation to start making changes that matter. Dr. Cohen walks through high-yield, actionable changes anyone can make: reverse osmosis water filtration that's cheaper than you think, frozen USDA organic foods that democratize nutrition, and simple swaps that cut chemical exposure without breaking the bank. You'll walk away understanding that your immune system isn't broken—it's just overwhelmed—and you have way more control than you realize.
