The world needs more books like this! It is most definitely a scary read, and I mean it in the best possible way. There is so much wrong with this world, and as long as money is the only thing that matters, we will get sicker and sicker. We live in a world that is filled with one nasty thing after the other. There are things we can do about this, both to heal ourselves, but also to raise awareness.
I was not able to read this book in one sitting due to it being really hard to take everything in. Even though I know these things, having a medical doctor stating one fact after the other, that really added a kick to it. Right now I feel like I want to move into the wilderness as a cave woman, but this will pass. An extremely powerful read, and absolutely every single person on the planet should read it. No, sorry, every single person on the planet HAS to read this. We cannot keep our eyes closed anymore. This affects every single one of us. Let's change this together!

Well this is a book that will give you nightmares!
Informative and frightening.
‘Backed by the latest scientific and medical research, Getting Healthy in Toxic Times will empower you to look after your own health - but also that of the planet.’
This is an eye opener to say the least, I was completely shocked by what I was reading. From reading this book I need to make a lot of changes. Changes that will not be easy and will also take some time.
It is a very overwhelming read and for someone like myself who has anxiety, this book will INCREASE that!
‘When we pollute the planet, we pollute ourselves.’

A health manual for everyone’s bookcase! Full of practical advice on how to put in the good stuff and keep out the bad and all done with lighthearted humour and encouragement. Thank you Jenny for sharing this with the world.

Getting Healthy in Toxic Times by Dr Jenny Goodman is an essential read for parents, teachers, medical practitioners, business owners, politicians, local authorities, academics, and, in fact, everyone. It will change the way you live your life and potentially save you and your loved ones from pain, unnecessary suffering, and premature death. I am not being overdramatic. We are all being poisoned daily by the products we buy, the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the environment we live in.
Dr Goodman has done a sterling job in bringing together an inordinate amount of researched information and presenting it in easily digestible forms. Much of it is uncomfortable reading but hugely illuminating, and her recommendations are immediately implementable.
Dr. Goodman is a notable medical doctor specialising in Ecological Medicine, with over 20 years of experience in the field. She graduated from Leeds University Medical School in 1982 and has been a member of the British Society for Ecological Medicine since 2000. Her expertise lies in Nutritional and Environmental Medicine, and she has a particular interest in pre-conception care, fertility, and children's health.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It's a call to action for each and every one of us. Thank you, Dr. Goodman.

This book is like a survival guide for modern life. We’re surrounded by pollution, chemicals, and all sorts of nasty stuff — and it's making us sick. Dr. Goodman breaks down how these toxins affect us and offers simple, practical tips to dodge them.
The best part? She doesn’t just scare you; she actually tells you what to do — like eating the right foods, avoiding harmful products, and even how to fight for a healthier planet. It’s a must-read if you want to stay healthy in today’s toxic world.
