Does it feel as though youâre being told completely contradictory things about the toxicity of everyday life?
For example, one minute weâre being told our drinking water is dangerous, next minute weâre assured thereâs absolutely nothing wrong. Whoâs right? Whatâs really going on?
Dr Jenny Goodman is the perfect guide through all of this. Having worked to help clients recover from toxicity for over 20 years, she does have some awful truths to tell, but this is no fear-mongering episode! Dr Goodman simply takes us by the hand, and shows us how to take calm and sensible action to help our minds and bodies flourish. And unsurprisingly, these actions are important for the planet too.
I love the way Dr Goodman speaks and writes. She has all the evidence to hand, and immense amounts of experience, and on top of this the rare gift of making every fact and every analysis truly interesting. If youâre anything like me, youâll come away from this episode sobered, and yet also energised and encouraged - and with some very welcome clarity on simple steps to take in your own life.
More about Jenny Goodman:
Dr Jenny Goodman is a medical doctor, lecturer and media broadcaster, who qualified at the Leeds University School of Medicine, worked in the NHS, and then undertook further study with the British Society for Ecological Medicine.
Jenny worked in ecological medicine for over 20 years, and has now written two incredibly important books, Staying Alive in Toxic Times (2021), and, this year, Getting Healthy in Toxic Times. I heartily recommend them both: theyâre brilliantly written, easy to read, packed with amazing client stories, and end-noted with all the important evidence.

Now that the UK is beginning to get chilly, itâs high time to talk about immunity for winter.
You already know about garlic, ginger, and hot toddies when you start to feel ill.
But how can we support our whole immune system to work at its best all the time?
I answer a few client questions, as well as address subjects such as:

In a world where so much about our nutrition is globalised, industrialised and dislocated, Kirsty Goring is all about restoring the connection between people growing, creating and enjoying food.
Kirsty has a wealth of experience in the 'supply side' of nutrition via her work at the Wiston Estate, which hosts everything from vineyards to sheep, farming to fine dining, a therapeutic market garden to an award-winning winery.
Wiston Estate is a beautiful part of West Sussex in the South of England, comprising 2500 hectares of land, of which 70% is farmland. It hosts many homes, businesses, and a good chunk of the South Downs National Park.
The Goring family has owned and looked after the Wiston lands since 1743, and today - as anyone who knows this area will attest - Kirsty and Rick Goring steward Wiston with the most incredible energy, commitment and excellence, prioritising people and communities, care for the land, and rural enterprise.
I absolutely loved this conversation with Kirsty, whose energy and enthusiasm could make even an instruction manual sound exciting and inspiring!
It is such a joyful episode, and I hope it will capture your imagination (as it did mine) and reinspire you to savour, cherish, and appreciate all that happens to be in front of you.

More about Kirsty Goring:
Kirsty has worked in and around farming and food for most of her life. After reading history at Oxford, she took a Certificate Course at the Irish cookery school Balleymaloe, which ignited her interest in growing and cooking excellent organic produce. Later, Kirsty ran a small events catering business while working in the charitable sector in London. In 2004 Kirsty married Richard Goring, and soon afterwards went to work on small scale organic farms located on remote islands off the west coast of Canada. On return, Kirsty worked on product development, PR and Marketing at Higgidy Pies, before taking on the role of Sales and Marketing Director and then her current role as Brand Director for Wiston Estate.

You donât have to be a fish fancier to love this conversation.
If you want to be inspired about food thatâs delicious and healthy, plus sourced and distributed with integrity, then here is an episode to cheer your heart. I simply loved this interview.
Emily and Christopher Nicolson are partners in the Iliamna Fish Company, which aims to provide the worldâs best wild salmon.
A fourth-generation family business set up in 1948, they hand-catch wild red sockeye salmon from Bristol Bay in Alaska.
And itâs all done in the most inspiring way.
First of all, the fish itself is one of the most nutritious and safe of its kind due to its specific diet.
Then, there are university biologists who precisely direct when and how they fish, so that the salmon population survives and thrive year on year.
There are zero dodgy farm inputs (no feeds, no antibiotics, no dyes, nothing) â the fish are gleaned with integrity from the natural world.
They have a 0.015% bycatch rate, of which 90% returns live to the water.
They even have a fish sales and distribution system which builds human community!
But none of this is done with an eye to how âvirtuousâ it looks. The unassuming excellence and integrity of their work is simply based on generations of careful practice and wisdom.
In short, itâs the epitome of Nutrition With Love.
And I think just hearing Emily and Christopher talk about their work will brighten your day.
Emily Lavelle (Nicolson) is a partner in Iliamna Fish Company and manages its New York-based CSF and operations. She is trained as a carpenter and an artist. A native of Philadelphia with Italian heritage, Emily began fishing in Alaska with her husband, Christopher, a little over 20 years ago.
Christopher is a partner and cofounder (together with his cousins) of Iliamna Fish Company. He operates a small commercial fishing vessel during the summer months with his bride, Emily, and their grown children, in Bristol Bay, Alaska. He is a tribal member of the Denai'ina nation--long-time residents of the lake country at the base of the Alaska Peninsula--via his mother's bloodline.

We know herbs and plants are incredibly effective for supporting all sorts of ailments, but it takes a medical herbalist to harness their powers with accuracy, safety and application to the individual patient.
Medical herbalist Jean Dow has over 20 years of experience, and she is also a functional medicine practitioner, with clinics based in Edinburgh, the Isle of Skye, and online.
I initially contacted Jean about a year ago to find out about herbal approaches to hormone balancing, and I must say I was absolutely amazed, not only by her knowledge and experience, but also by her profound care for her patients and the sheer effectiveness of what she recommends.
Here, Jean shares about her medical training, the important similarities and differences between mainstream and herbal medicine, why herbs (when prescribed correctly) are so effective for peri/menopausal symptoms, and the 'super-herbs' she uses the most. Thereâs also an incredible patient story at the end!
More about Jean:
As a medical herbalist and functional medicine practitioner, Jean Dow brings together the rich tradition of herbal remedies with modern medical insights to deliver comprehensive healthcare solutions. Her expertise lies in understanding the intricate connections between botanical medicine and human physiology, allowing her to address health concerns at their root causes. Jean is committed to crafting individualized treatment plans that honor each person's unique biology and circumstances, aiming for long-term wellness rather than short-term symptom relief. Through compassionate guidance and evidence-based practice, Jean empowers her clients to take control of their health journey.

Not all superfoods should be eaten in quantity. This is the contention of Sally K Norton, who opens her book Toxic Superfoods with the story of actor Liam Hemsworth, whose kidney stone operation was linked to a diet high in certain superfoods.
Norton argues that a whole variety of symptoms may arise when consuming high levels of oxalate - which includes lots of the plants we may think of as healthy.
This conversation was a definite eye-opener and certainly contains some surprises! Sally provided a brilliant overview of her own oxalate-related health experiences, why and how oxalates can challenge the body, BUT also why going quickly and completely 'oxalate-free' is actually not advisable.
Sally K. Norton, MPH holds a nutrition degree from Cornell University and a masterâs degree in Public Health. Her path to becoming a leading expert on dietary oxalate includes a prior career working at major medical schools in medical education and public health research. Her personal healing experience inspired years of research that led to her book, Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload is Making You Sick - and How to Get Better which was released in January 2023 from Rodale Press and is available everywhere books are sold. The subsequent Data Companion to Toxic Superfoods was released in May this year.

This episode, I share how elements of my biography may have affected my biology, including multiple digestive symptoms and thyroid disease.
Iâm aiming for what Gabor MatĂ© calls âa clear and honest look at the biographical factors that can disrupt our biological well-beingâ.
And I wanted to consider this in light of my previous two Nutrition With Love interviews, which discussed health challenges from two very different standpoints â one, mainly to do with the âmechanicsâ of the gut, and the other, mainly to do with mind-body messaging.
Were my health challenges âmechanical problemsâ in the body, or were they âformed by the mindâ?
I think both. But of course itâs also more complicated than that.
Covering attachment, bereavement, mould, the HPA axis, digestive health, training oneâs brain, hormonal balance and more, my discussion is partly inspired by Gabor MatĂ©âs book Myth of Normal, in which he argues for the intimate interconnectedness of oneâs environment, culture, biography and oneâs state of health.
If my experiences help even one person to unravel some of their biology, or biography, in a healing way â then sharing them will be worth it.
Unlike my other episodes, this was recorded while standing in my kitchen and taking care of a lively dog - which close listeners will probably hear!

If I encounter anyone with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, I send them straight to Clemmie Oliver. Her clinic specialises in supporting people with IBD using Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine, and Clemmie has had prolonged experience of IBD herself.
Clemmie and I trained together several years ago, and since then she has built an incredibly successful IBD-focused clinic, now been joined by registered specialist gastroenterology dietitian, Jess Upton.
I absolutely loved this chance to catch up with her, and I think you will hugely enjoy hearing her personal (and reasonably dramatic) story of IBD and health, as well as her brilliantly passionate yet clear explanations of this often-misunderstood condition.
As Clemmie succinctly puts it: Diet matters â no matter what is going on.
Our topics include:
Why the small intestine is Clemmieâs favourite part of the digestive system!What Inflammatory Bowel Disease is, and what causes itClemmieâs own journey with IBD since the age of 9The important differences between IBD and IBSSymptoms to watch for if you suspect IBD, and what to doThe relevance of stress to IBDThe value of medical interventions AND nutrition and lifestyle medicine in IBDIBD Flares and what may help reduce themClemmieâs advocacy work with her IBD patientsMore on Clemmie:
Clemmie is a Qualified Nutritional Therapist (DipION), Registered Associate Nutritionist (MSc, AfN) and founder of the Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine Clinic which supports people living with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases to improve their quality of life. Clemmie also mentors other nutrition professionals and provides IBD training and education for other healthcare professionals. Clemmie regularly speaks on the topic of nutrition for large corporations based around the world, and works with IBD charities and companies as a nutrition advisor. She has also carried out postgraduate research in IBD at the University of Aberdeen.
Clemmie is incredibly passionate about empowering patients with IBD by providing professional nutrition support to optimise nutritional intake, support symptom management, and ultimately improve their quality of life, as well as being their patient advocate. In addition, as an IBD patient herself, having lived with Ulcerative Colitis since the age of 9, she has a compassionate understanding of her patientsâ experiences living with IBD.

Weâre used to the idea that pain sensations accurately register physical disease or injury. But much research has found that some kinds of pain are actually alleviated by working on the brain, not the body.
Jennifer Johnson is a Mind-Body Chronic Pain Coach based in Seattle. Her chronic pain journey started 14 years ago, most days barely able to walk. After undertaking training on her mind and nervous system, she became pain-free and able to resume normal life. Then, as a coach, she took Howard Schubiner's practitioner training to qualify her in Pain Reprocessing Therapy, to support diverse clients in resolving their own chronic pain.
I loved this conversation for Jenâs open honesty about her story, the mind-bending information she shares, and the huge ray of hope she sheds for people in chronic pain.
This is an angle of Lifestyle Medicine that may be quite surprising to most, and I hope will be life changing for many.
Could your pain be susceptible to 'Mind-Bodyâ reprocessing? Hereâs Jen's questionnaire to help you: https://www.thoughtbythoughthealing.com/thetest
Jenâs podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/thought-by-thought-healing/id1632101059
Jen refers to Dr Howard Shubiner: https://unlearnyourpain.com/mind-body-syndrome/
I have found Alan Gordonâs book is a useful, easy-to-access introduction to this subject: https://www.curablehealth.com/books/alan-gordon/the-way-out-approach-to-healing-chronic-pain
The boot story Jen mentions can be found (with some difficulty, you need to buy access) as a report in the British Medical Journal: Fisher JP, Hassan DT, OâConnor N. Minerva. Br Med J 1995; 310:70.
There is a huge literature on pain. One useful, nuanced introductory article may be found here: Brodal, Per. "A neurobiologistâs attempt to understand persistent pain" Scandinavian Journal of Pain, vol. 15, no. 1, 2017, pp. 140-147. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sjpain.2017.03.001

Gastrointestinal health testing analyses immunity, inflammation, and the microbiome, and itâs an important tool we use in Nutritional Therapy and Lifestyle medicine to unearth underlying issues in physical and mental health.
Lesley Harper is part of the clinical education team at Invivo Healthcare and a healthcare practitioner in her own right. She's perfectly placed to introduce us to specialised testing and how we can use it to get to the root causes of health challenges.
Lesley was 'into gut healthâ at least a decade before most people had ever heard of gut health. She delved into the early research to address her own issues, first with joint problems and subsequently with Graves Disease, gradually resolving her symptoms and then finally coming off medication in both cases.
This was such a lovely conversation. Lesley is unfailingly professional, kind and compassionate, and I can't think of anyone better to take us by the hand and make a complicated subject feel clear and even encouraging!
Subjects we discuss:
blood sugar balancingroot cause analysisthe link between hormones and gut healthgut challenges like IBS, IBD, SIBO, reflux, constipation and diarrhoeamicrobial patterns and dietmicrobial patterns and diseasethe importance of âcrowding outâhow psychology impacts gut healththe upsides and downsides of FODMAPS dietsbile flow, pancreatic enzymesthe impact of nurture and kindnesssupport in thyroid and immune conditionsMore on Lesley:
After a previous career as an engineer, Lesleyâs own health issues led her to explore nutritional therapy as an option to support her health. Benefiting significantly, Lesleyâs interest in the subject was ignited and she made the decision to retrain in order to practice and promote the development of nutritional therapy. Lesley has been providing individual consultations and workshops to various organisations, course tutor and for several years ran nutrition workshops for fitness retreats and has provided sessions for first and second-year medical students. Lesley continues to run a private practice specialising in clients with chronic gut issues. http://www.lesleyharper.co.uk/

Thyroid conditions can make you feel you're losing your motivation, metabolism, energy, hormone balance or mood.
And if so, you're in good company, since in Europe and America alone they affect more than one in ten people.
I myself was diagnosed with one, and now a large percentage of my clients are successfully working on their thyroid health.
Here's a brief introduction to why thyroids matter, their incredible function, and what you need to know if you think yours might need some TLC. Plus some of my own thyroid and immune story, with some hope thrown in.

Hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) and Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (hEDS) are connective tissue disorders with varying degrees of symptom presentation. Some might simply notice greater-than-average physical flexibility, but others may suffer with instability, injury, pain, fatigue, headaches, gastro-intestinal problems, and even autonomic dysfunction.
There's some dispute about the prevalence of symptomatic hypermobility, but if you suspect you, or someone you know may have it, I hope this episode will give you some very useful health pointers.
Lorna Ryan has a lot of experience of HSD/hEDS, both as a registered Nutritionist and as a patient herself, initially working on her own health after facing the possibility of living on a liquid diet.
I was delighted to hear Lorna expertly explain options in support for people experiencing HSD, bringing her characteristic modesty, calm, and gracious professionalism.
Lornaâs discussion beautifully demonstrates the collaborative nature of excellent healthcare, with nutrition playing its part alongside mainstream medical specialists and other practitioners.
Subjects we cover:

In nutritional therapy and lifestyle medicine, there are some challenges that simply cannot be fixed with diet alone. Sometimes, you want ⊠a volcanic rock. Even better, a volcanic rock that acts like a wheelbarrow, to cart away substances that are harmful and difficult to remove.
Volcanic rock âbindersâ like Zeolite Clinoptilolite do not interact with the body any more than a pair of spectacles. And yet they have proved effective in diverse health issues, including:
mycotoxin / mould exposureheavy metal exposureH. Pylorirecurring acid refluxhistamine âintoleranceâ (or overload)eczema / psoriasis / urticaria⊠and all without having to resort to drugs.
Dilkiran Kular is not a nutritionist. But heâs well known to healthcare practitioners like me, because his company Nouveau Healthcare supplies this extraordinary binder under the name Toxaprevent.
Sharing his own journey with histamine overload and a chronic skin condition, Dilkiran Kular explains why this volcanic rock is like a wheelbarrow, and how it manages to address such a variety of health problems.

Happy New Year! I hope that whatever your Christmas-time and New Year were like, that this short episode will be a cheering thing to listen to in these first days of 2024.
Health and nutrition shows up in so many peopleâs new year resolutions, so it seems only sensible to talk about them.
But let me offer you a slightly different take, on how to make it all a little easier, and more joyful.
I'll also share some of the research on why this approach works.

What if nutritional therapy was rather different from what you expected?
Many people struggle with their health, but, convinced that they already eat healthily, think nutrition can't help them.
Others labour under the illusion that nutrition work is simply bullying people to eat more vegetables!
Still others try to piece together their own nutrition programmes with 'Dr Google', but pick up poor quality advice or contradictory information - and don't get results.
But Nutritional therapy is so much more complex and more delightful than people think!
Based on my own and my clients' experiences, this is a short introduction to what nutritional therapy might actually feel like, and what goes on behind the scenes of a consultation.

Nutrition has numbers â and itâs not just about the calories or the nutrient levels, or the myriad complexities of farming.
Nutrition numbers also include budgets, meal plans, and the time practicalities of shopping and preparation.
And we all of us have food budgets, whether we think about them or not.
But did you know that all this stuff could be fun, could expand peace, and could make for a more restful kitchen?!
Blogger and influencer Kezia Neusch has a lot of experience in the numbers of nutrition, having set up her own course on meal planning and budgeting, and provided practical on sustainable living to many thousands via her books, hugely popular Instagram posts and information-packed website.
Kezia is so clear, and brings such enthusiasm and wisdom to this subject. I hope our conversation will encourage you that everyone can be powerful and impactful with food choices, whether we have a tight budget, or no budget at all.
And I hope you enjoy our chat as much as I did!
Topics we cover:
- How money, time and energy arenât the only âcurrenciesâ to consider
- How to take change in your stride
- Simple ways to sharpen up your food budget
- Mindsets for organising food in your household
- Why âemotional eatingâ isnât necessarily a disaster
- The link between snacking and food preferences
- Connecting budgets and sustainability with abundance and fun
