Your environment is rewiring your hormones, fertility, and long-term health without your consent.
In this episode of The Human Upgrade, Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Aly Cohen, board-certified rheumatologist, integrative medicine specialist, and environmental health educator. Together they expose how common toxins in plastics, pesticides, drinking water, personal care products, and food packaging are hijacking your biology.
Dr. Cohen explains how daily chemical exposures contribute to autoimmune disease, thyroid dysfunction, hormone imbalance, infertility, obesity, cancer, and accelerated aging. You will learn how to identify hidden endocrine disruptors, spot surprising sources of microplastics and PFAS (“forever chemicals”), and apply science-backed detox strategies to protect your hormones, fertility, metabolism, and longevity.

• How chemicals in household, cleaning, and beauty products disrupt hormones
