Q&A: Exploring the Link Between Environmental Toxins and Autoimmune Disease

Environmental toxins play a key role in human health, and to prevent disease, it’s essential that integrative practitioners address them with their patients, according to Aly Cohen, MD, FACR.

Cohen is an environmental health expert who practices rheumatology, internal medicine, and integrative medicine in Princeton, New Jersey, and her latest research explores the connection between environmental toxins and autoimmune disease. In her presentation at the Institute for Functional Medicine Annual International Conference in Orlando, Florida, Cohen discussed her findings along with functional and integrative approaches to reduce toxic exposures. 

After her session, we spoke with Cohen about key takeaways from her talk and how to tailor environmental medicine to each practice.
