There is increasing evidence that there are known environmental toxins in our food, water, household products, furnishings, and building materials.
We breathe them in, ingest them and absorb them through our skin. This is worrying and I feel it is important to educate ourselves and make informed decisions about what we put into our bodies and have in our environments.
In this episode, my guest Izzy Kirby and I delve into this subject a bit more.
Background
Izzy has trained in naturopathy, nutritional therapy, iridology and specialises in herbal medicine. She has studied a range of healing traditions and synthesises Ayurvedic, alchemical and astrological concepts into her practice.
Her approach combines science and biochemistry with an understanding of traditional naturopathic techniques to achieve optimum health and wellbeing through herbal medicine, nutritional and lifestyle changes.
She is passionate about empowering people to take their health into their own hands and promoting the knowledge of the wise woman tradition so that herbal medicine is accessible to all for healing.
Izzy also works with private clients, charities and businesses to teach people about how they can feel better using natural medicine.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
