Written by Jenny Goodman — a medical doctor and broadcaster who’s been practising Ecological Medicine for twenty-two years — Getting Healthy in Toxic Times presents a fresh approach to well-being through examining the connections between physical health and environmental pollution and toxins.
“Our health and that of the planet are inextricably linked” — so this illuminating book opens, clearly setting out the driving force of Goodman’s thesis. Speckled with eye-opening case studies, the book is structured by elements, with chapters covering Earth, Water, Air and Fire unpacking the damage being done to our health and the environment by the likes of toxins in the soil, chemicals in our water, pollutants in our seas and kitchen cupboards, and the electromagnetic energy we’re constantly exposed to.
“We all need to wake up and smell the poison”, is Goodman’s final rallying call-to-action, and Getting Healthy in Toxic Times arms readers with ways to do exactly that, with practical detail on how we can safeguard our personal health while also improving the state of the environment.

Getting Healthy in Toxic Times Synopsis
How can we protect ourselves from the pollution, chemicals, and toxins that pervade our environment? Dr. Jenny Goodman connects the health of our planet with our own well-being, addressing the questions that very few doctors ask.
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.
If we can also understand how they affect our health, not least in the worrying rises in asthma and allergies, infertility, obesity, heart disease, behavioral and neurological disorders, as well as cancer, then we can take positive steps to avoid them.
With the right information, we can:
- Safeguard ourselves with protective measures
- Minimize our interactions with pollutants
- Ensure our bodies have the right anti-toxin nutrients
- Take collective action to fight for our health and that of the environment
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!

About Jenny Goodman
Jenny Goodman is a medical doctor, lecturer and broadcaster. 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 Getting Healthy in Toxic Times and 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.
