Getting Healthy in Toxic Times with Dr. Jenny Goodman

Dr. Jenny Goodman on Ecological Medicine, Pesticides, and Regenerative Farming

Dr. Jenny Goodman describes becoming disillusioned during clinical training because hospital medicine focused on symptom management with drugs, avoided “healing,” and ignored root causes and prevention, though she valued emergency care. After leaving practice, she taught medical sciences in alternative-medicine colleges and later found the British Society for Ecological Medicine in the late 1990s, leading her to a practice centered on nutrition and environmental medicine as applied biochemistry. She defines ecological medicine as treating the body as an interconnected ecosystem and as inseparable from Earth’s ecosystems, linking human health to farming and pollution. Goodman argues industrial monocrop agriculture, pesticides (including glyphosate), and synthetic fertilizers deplete nutrients, disrupt the microbiome, and contribute to neurological disease, cancer, endocrine disruption, and infertility, with possible multigenerational effects. She recommends organic food, water filtration, and detox strategies (vitamin C, vegetable juicing, Epsom salt baths, short saunas with wiping, targeted supplements, colonic hydrotherapy, and sprouting), and calls for policy changes supporting organic/regenerative farming and curbing junk food and pesticide use.
