Help relieve chronic illness and holistically bolster your immune system by minimizing exposure to immune-disrupting chemicals, with this approachable, revolutionary "book that everyone should read" (Fran Drescher) from integrative rheumatologist Dr. Aly Cohen.
Immune conditions and autoimmune diseases are on a meteoric rise in our modern-day world with the biggest triggers existing all around us. With an environment laden with untested and unregulated chemicals, radiation, and light and noise pollution, these immune disrupting chemicals (IDCs) trigger our bodies to go haywire and develop chronic conditions. And while variables like age, medication use, and overall health status factor into the performance of one's immune system, doctors are struggling to help their patients find livable solutions for their chronic illness.
In this "must-read for anyone committed to living a healthier, toxin-free life" (David Perimutter, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author), integrative rheumatologist Dr. Aly Cohen proposes a life-saving solution to minimizing disrupting immune system triggers and activating the body's natural detoxification systems. Using clear and accessible language, Dr. Cohen demonstrates the surprising ways in which environmental toxins impact our bodies, linking specific symptoms and illnesses to everyday exposures. You'll uncover what's lurking in our water, food, personal care products, and household goods. More importantly, you'll discover simple and affordable steps to lead a more toxin-free life.
Featuring Dr. Cohen's 4A's of environmental health navigation, full-body survey to assess toxin risk, as well as a 21-day plan to significantly reduce environmental exposure and enhance your detoxification process, this book is packed with valuable resources, including lab test recommendations, DIY household cleaner and personal care recipes, Dr. Cohen's Detoxify Food Pyramid©, and over two dozen delicious, detoxifying recipes. Detoxify is your ultimate "guide that every health seeker needs today" (William W. Li, MD, New York Times bestselling author).
