Help relieve chronic illness and holistically bolster your immune system by minimizing exposure to immune-disrupting chemicals, with this approachable, revolutionary book and 21-day program from integrative rheumatologist Dr. Aly Cohen. nImmune 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. n nIn Detoxify, integrative rheumatologist Dr. Aly Cohen, with over twenty years practicing on the front lines of clinical medicine, 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. Dr. Cohen empowers us no matter our lifestyle or budget, to make small, practical shifts that can substantially increase our quality of life and help to thwart future health risks. n nFeaturing 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(c), and over two dozen delicious, detoxifying recipes.
