Getting Healthy in Toxic Times is the first book to connect the health of our planet with our own well-being, and asks the question that very few doctors do – how can we protect ourselves from the pollution, chemicals and toxins that pervade our environment?We’re all too aware of the traffic pollution in the air, the chemicals in our water, the toxins in the soil (and therefore our food) and the electromagnetic energy emanating from our gadgets. But if we can also understand how they affect our health, not least in the worrying rises in asthma and allergies, infertility, obesity, heart disease, behavioural and neurological disorders as well as cancer, then we can take positive steps to avoid them.We can safeguard ourselves with protective measures, minimise our interactions with those pollutants we can’t get away from, ensure our bodies have the right anti-toxin nutrients and take collective action to fight for our health and that of the environment, both local and global.Backed by the latest scientific and medical research, Getting Healthy in Toxic Times will empower you to look after your own health – and that of the planet. Let’s put the good stuff in and take the bad stuff out!

She qualified at Leeds University School of Medicine and worked as a junior doctor but, disillusioned with conventional medicine’s inability to heal sick people and its failure to enquire about the causes of illness or to do preventive healthcare, she qualified in Ecological Medicine with British Society for Ecological Medicine, a group of doctors and other practitioners who help patients to attain dramatically better health through changes in diet and nutrition, and through detoxification.She has been practising Ecological Medicine for twenty-two years now and is the author of Staying Alive in Toxic Times. Jenny has appeared with Terry Pratchett in ITV’s documentary What’s in Your Mouth? and has been featured on the Victoria Derbyshire show, BBC One’s Inside Out and numerous other TV and radio shows.

‘As a food writer who is particularly interested in mental health and environment too, I’ve long been a fan of Dr Jenny Goodman. I think we all know now in 2024 that everything is connected, but where and how do we start in actually improving our health and the planet’s? And in a long-term, sustainable way? HELP! Dr Jenny is back again with her second book – packed to the brim with her medical experience, her fantastic way with words, her empowering practical tips and the scientific research to back it all up.’Melissa Hemsley, chef and author of Real Healthy
