In a recent Q&A with Southern California University of Health Sciences, Dr. Aly Cohen shares insights from her new book, Detoxify: The Everyday Toxins Harming Your Immune System and How to Defend Against Them. Drawing from two decades of clinical experience, she explains how small but powerful lifestyle changes—like filtering drinking water, swapping out toxic personal care products, and following her 4 A’s Framework (Assess, Avoid, Add, Allow)—can significantly reduce toxin exposure and support long-term health.
Dr. Cohen also reflects on her personal journey into environmental health, how her teaching at SCU’s Doctor of Whole Health Leadership program ties into her mission, and why empowering both individuals and future healthcare leaders is key to creating a healthier generation.
