In this podcast with Dr. Aly Cohen, board-certified rheumatologist and integrative medicine specialist, we discuss the impact of the environment on our brain and health in general, particularly on children. Chemicals, additives, pseudo-hormones and other toxic substances have invaded our air, water, food, cosmetics and almost everything we use now whether it is for cooking, cleaning or more.

She has collaborated with the Environmental Working Group, Cancer Schmancer, and other disease- prevention organizations, and is coeditor of the textbook, Integrative Environmental Medicine, part of the Oxford University Press Weil Integrative Medicine Library.
