About
Aly Cohen , MD, FACR
Integrative Rheumatology Associates was founded in 2011 with the philosophy and purpose of bringing a holistic and integrative approach to medical care. IRA combines the best of western medicine with the support and integration of nutrition and exercise counseling, sleep hygiene, stress management, and evaluation of environmental chemical exposure.
Dr. Aly Cohen is a board certified internist and rheumatologist specializing in arthritis, immune system disorders and women’s health. Dr. Cohen received her undergraduate degree at the University of Pennsylvania. She went on to medical training at Hahnemann University Hospital School of Medicine in Philadelphia, and completed her internship and residency in internal medicine at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City. Dr. Cohen continued her specialist training in rheumatology and autoimmune diseases at Montefiore Hospital/Albert Einstein University Hospital in the Bronx, New York. Dr. Cohen is currently in private practice in Monroe Township, New Jersey. Her practice, Integrative Rheumatology Associates P.C., focuses on both traditional western medical management of rheumatologic ailments, as well as integrative options for total “wellness”, such as biofeedback, acupuncture, cognitive therapy, diet and exercise counseling, environmental toxin counseling, smoking cessation, stress management and sleep evaluations.
Dr. Cohen is trained in medical acupuncture from the Helms Institute at UCLA and Environmental Medicine from Dr. Andrew Weil and the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine. She recently was honored as the recipient of the Jones/Lovell Rheumatology Scholarship at the Center for Integrative Medicine in Tucson, Arizona. She will study and work along side Dr. Weil and his colleagues in the field of integrative medicine over the next two years. Dr. Cohen regularly lectures on healthy dietary and integrative medicine techniques to her patients and the community.
Dr. Cohen’s strong interest in environmental chemical exposure has lead to her current collaboration with the Environmental Working Group (EWG.org) to create a CME accredited presentation on endocrine disrupting chemicals and their relationship to human health, designed specifically for physicians, nurses and other health professionals. She has worked with private corporations, such as Knowledge Universe, to implement changes in over 2,000 Kindercare pre-school facilities nationally. Dr. Cohen was recently asked to become a medical investigator in the train derailment and massive polyvinyl chloride spill in Paulsboro NJ, back in November of 2012. She is a national speaker on the topic of endocrine disrupting chemicals and their effects on human health and development.
As a recognized advocate for health education, Dr. Cohen also works as a writer, interviewer and producer for children and adult health programs on an array of network and cable TV channels. She is also a published medical author.
Dr. Cohen is an avid runner, participates in area triathlons and ran in the 2009 New York City Marathon, raising thousands of dollars for The Lupus Foundation.
