Episode 113
Feeling stuck in a cycle of fatigue, brain fog, and hormone chaos? Wondering why no matter how “healthy” you eat, your energy stays low or your weight won't budge? You’re not alone—and it may not be your fault. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Aly Cohen, a board-certified rheumatologist and environmental health expert, to talk about something that affects every single one of us but rarely gets discussed: the toxic chemical overload hiding in our everyday lives.
We unpack how environmental chemicals are silently disrupting your hormone balance, gut health, and immune system—especially during perimenopause and menopause, when your body is already more sensitive to stress, inflammation, and hormonal shifts. You’ll hear how toxins are linked to weight loss resistance, IBS, exhaustion, thyroid dysfunction, and even autoimmune flares.
Dr. Cohen shares her signature “4 A’s” method to detox your life—without obsessing or aiming for perfection. From common kitchen swaps to what’s lurking in your self-care routine (yep, even your garbage bags), we get into the everyday habits that silently sabotage your metabolism and energy—and how to reclaim your vitality, one simple change at a time.
Key Points (Listen for the 'how' in the full episode):
• The everyday products disrupting your hormone balance and gut health—especially during perimenopause • How immune-disrupting chemicals could be triggering inflammation, fatigue, and autoimmune flares • A subtle hormone shift that might explain your energy crashes—and how to fix it without relying on coffee • The surprising link between toxins and brain fog, and the four simple steps Dr. Cohen recommends to detox smarter (not harder)
If you’re doing “all the right things” for your health but still dealing with bloating, mood swings, constipation, or low energy, it’s time to look deeper. Toxins are the hidden variable no one talks about—but they’re quietly impacting your metabolism, hormone balance, and gut health. This episode helps you understand the “why” behind your symptoms and gives you a practical place to start.
Ready to clear the confusion and reclaim your health? Tune in and learn how to assess, avoid, and gently detox without the overwhelm. Because true hormone balance, digestion, and energy start with removing what’s blocking your body from healing.
