DETOXIFY

Start living a cleaner life by learning to minimize exposure to immune-disrupting chemicals, holistically relieve chronic illness, and bolster the immune system, using integrative rheumatologist Dr. Aly Cohen's easy-to-implement steps and revolutionary 21-day program.

Autoimmune conditions are on a meteoric rise and doctors everywhere are struggling to help their patients find livable solutions for their chronic conditions. What many fail to take into account is that immune-disrupting chemicals ("IDCs") are all around us, triggering our bodies to go haywire and develop chronic conditions. It's common knowledge now that variables like age, medication use, and overall health status factor into the performance of one's immune system. But here's what most don't realize: the biggest triggers to your immune system are actually everywhere in our modern-day world, an environment laden with untested and unregulated chemicals, radiation, and noise and light pollution.

In DETOXIFY, Dr. Cohen proposes the solution to minimizing immune disrupting triggers and activate the body's natural filtrations systems. While this sounds like an overwhelming task, it is anything but. In clear and accessible language, readers will learn the surprising ways in which environmental toxins influence the body and what symptoms and illnesses are closely associated with which everyday exposures. They'll discover what's in our water, food, personal-care products, and other household goods. And perhaps more importantly, they'll find out what to do, simply and inexpensively, to live a more toxin-free life. Readers will be empowered to decide which sacrifices are worth the effort, and which ones may not make sense for your lifestyle or budget. And also discover the specific steps you can take to improve your body's ability to eliminate toxins, helping to mitigate the effects of the chemical exposures you can't control. At the end of the book, there is a full-body survey that will help determine toxin risk, along with a comprehensive 21-day plan to help slash environmental exposure while boosting the body's ability to detoxify in just three weeks' time. Finally, in the appendix, there are comprehensive checklists to note which lab tests are worth it, steps for DIY household cleaners and deodorants, and three dozen delicious, detoxifying recipes.

DETOXIFY is the go-to guide for easy and practical lifestyle changes that will relieve chronic illness, bolster the immune system, and ultimately extend your health span. The goal of this book isn't to be perfect: It's to be as healthy as possible without losing your mind, your money, or your sense wellbeing.
