🎙️ In this episode of The WOVA Circle Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Aly Cohen, board-certified integrative rheumatologist and environmental health expert, for an eye-opening conversation about environmental toxins, tap water contamination, and what it really means for your hormones, fertility, and long-term health.

We're told to drink more water and eat clean, but what if the water itself is part of the problem? Tap water can carry hundreds to thousands of contaminants, many of which go undisclosed, and when it comes to fertility, pregnancy, and hormone health, daily exposure adds up more than most people realize.

Dr. Aly breaks down what's actually in our water, which exposures matter most, and why you don't need to overhaul your entire life to make a meaningful difference. We talk about the swaps that have the highest impact, how nutrition supports your body's natural detoxification processes, and why a whole-body approach, covering environment, nutrition, sleep, and stress, matters more than trying to do everything perfectly.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• What's actually in most tap water, and why it's not well regulated
• How environmental toxins affect hormones, fertility, and pregnancy
• Why you can't avoid every exposure, and why that's okay
• The highest-impact swaps to prioritize first
• How nutrition supports your body's natural detoxification
• A whole-body approach: environment, nutrition, sleep, and stress
• How to make changes that are sustainable, not overwhelming

✨ This episode is for anyone trying to conceive, pregnant, postpartum, or navigating perimenopause or menopause who wants practical, science-backed guidance on reducing toxic exposure without the overwhelm.

🎧 Tune in now for an honest, empowering conversation about environmental health and what it means for your fertility and hormones.
