"This enlightening guide to understanding the connections between personal and environmental health is packed with ways we can detox our bodies and the planet."
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.
