Getting healthy in toxic times got my attention and I'm glad I found this resource. There were plenty of useful facts about this day and age and how we all want to be healthy to have a profound life. I found this book useful in many ways. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to know the fundamentals bof our toxic world and how we must adhere to healthier lifestyles in order to live in resilience.

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!

An excellent wake up guide to how to manage your exposure to pollution and toxins. I was shocked by some of the scary statistics in this book. A book that needs to be read.

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.’

This is an interesting read. It can be really hard to find the balance in keeping up in society and knowing that societal norms are harmful, on top of the out of control big corporations and governments making decisions that affect our health. As well as trying to balance the knowledge and wisdom of millenias with modern day science options. This book gave me a lot to think about and does give actionable items, which I always appreciate, there's nothing worse than a book telling you all the reasons something is wrong or harmful and just leaves it at that. I will definitely give this another read and see what stands out to me.

An excellent guide to avoiding the pollution that is destroying our planet, as far as possible, including pollution that is in our food and drink and is also sometimes contained in what we rub on our skin. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me a copy of the book, it is an important book for ourselves and for the planet.
