Staying alive in toxic times (pt 2). Dr Jenny Goodman
Start of a new series with this podcast. Inspired by our guest’s book, which when I picked up felt like the eloquent and authoritative documentation of methods, approaches, tips, and tricks that I have been learning since 2014 when I realised my own health journey was not perhaps the most enjoyable one.
That has been my understanding of what health is for each of us. It’s a journey, that takes us through different ages, stages, and environments and the secret sauce to the enjoyment of the journey is awareness, understanding, and an approach that is supple. And in that I am talking about an approach that allows us to move through environments that are less enjoyable, be able to anticipate without fear what is approaching us in life.
There will be of course unexpected discoveries along the journey of health but having the requisite skills to navigate out of environments that do not cultivate our Selves and beings is essential. And it is the consequences of the environments we are living in and approach to modern living that our guest Dr. Jenny Goodman wrote her book “Staying Alive in Toxic Times” which I believe is the book every household would benefit from having in their life. It’s simple to read and understand, respectful to the seasons of life, and a rich mine of information for living in our health potential and enjoying the journey of good health.
This podcast is the first part of two with Jenny, and we move through the book, beginning with what health is and why we in this modern time have got our approach perhaps out of sync with what is good for us, where it went wrong historically and then onwards into the connection of the food we eat, the environmental effects on foods nutritional content and its links to farming. And finishing with the guidelines which are appropriate for 99% of us, 99% of the time, and how in this modern age supplements can become allies in supporting our health.
I’m excited about these podcasts, the direction of the journey this will take weMove, and the value to each of us that this knowledge and wisdom delivers.
From Chris and me. Peace
