Staying Alive in Toxic Times with Dr Jenny Goodman

STATE OF MIND

Today I have a really fantastic episode for you with Dr Jenny Goodman, author of the fantastic must-read book Staying Alive In Toxic Times. Jenny started her career as a medical doctor but became completely disillusioned with the methodology of purely treating symptoms and not offering any preventative medicine. She then found Ecological Medicine, which is very similar to Functional Medicine and Nutritional Therapy where we look at the body as one whole system and try to get to the root cause of problems.

Her book is a manual for 21st century living divided up into the four seasons to cover off seasonal eating, they types of toxins that are most prevalent at certain times of the year (eg early autumn for mould), and also contains lots of really fascinating case studies form her own clinical experience. We cover sunscreen and its dangers, why grounding is actually just pure science, organic food and agriculture, mould and light among many other topics.

It’s a fantastic listen and I hope you enjoy it. You can find Jenny via her instagram @dr_jenny_goodman to via her website drjennygoodman.com
