Low Tox Life — Alternative Health
Low Tox Life

Hello! Welcome to the Low Tox Life podcast – the place to bring your low tox life to life across all low tox pillars: Food. Body. Home. Mind. Planet. We cover it all to support you and your goals with some of the best minds in the world joining me each week. I’m Alexx Stuart, your host, and in 2009 I coined the term ‘low tox’ and started lowtoxlife.com. From there I’ve created 10 courses and had 2 books published (Low Tox Life and Low Tox Life FOOD; I’ve written countless research articles and recipes to inspire a low tox life. I am thrilled to bring this podcast to you as an extension of the online community, filled with multi-passionate people from around the world. The concept of living a Low Tox Life is one that rejects perfection, black and white notions of there only being one way to ‘do it right’. Instead, we take a relaxed and curious approach to better choices to incorporate into our lives as and if they fit. Low Tox therefore instead of ‘no tox’ as people come together from all walks of life; from cities to regional and remote areas to work from our overlaps and all be part of the many solutions toward healthy people and planet. Forget wasting time feeling bad about what you’re not doing or you didn’t know yesterday. Let’s feel awesome about what we can learn and do from today! Thanks for being here. I just know you’ll be inspired as I am by each show. Enjoy, subscribe, pop the kettle on and most importantly: Welcome!

378. Stop trying to ‘control’ your emotions, and here’s why... with Cedric Bertelli Apr 21, 2024
Show notes

This show is all about emotions. As Cedric Bertelli, founder of the Emotional Health Institute, explains, our culture is obsessed with trying to control our emotions. It turns out however, it is this desire to control our emotions that inadvertently prevents many of us from developing emotional resilience. So, in this show, we unpack:

How our responses to situations are often formed from events a long time in our past
Why emotions don’t make sense and trying to make them make sense is futile
What happens in our conscious and subconscious at a point of trauma and how can it form long-term imprints?
How phobias can be overcome - and it’s not about ‘overcoming’ them.
How we can break life-long emotional patterns that things like talk therapy haven’t helped us resolve?

It is a fascinating exploration of memories, trauma and emotions, and how we can break unhelpful loops we might be stuck in, and I hope you or someone you know finds it to be as interesting and helpful as I did.

376. Can “Frugal” mean “Abundance”? Jen and Jill from Frugal Friends say YES Apr 07, 2024

Show notes

What is Frugality felt good? What if it was about abundance and positive mental health and a great contribution to wasting less and doing more of what you love?

Well… that is what Jen and Jill from Frugal Friends Podcast have made it about and I love it so much I’ve recorded a show with them. We discuss:

Why the negative connotation of frugality and how to flip the script in your life?
How does one start to think about living frugally in a way that doesn’t conjure 1 jar with a year’s plastic, making everything from scratch wearing a linen dress in the woods and homeschooling your kids if the stereotype doesn’t resonate?
What got you both feeling frugal? Did you grow up that way? A crisis? Awakening?
Frugal in the kitchen, walk us through your fave ideas that you love to get people onto when they’re exploring/trying to change
Frugality with appliances and fixing things
Frugal living with kids who want ‘all the things like their friends have!’ - how can we make it a potentially positive experience in raising kids?
Frugal success - little by little? Personal priorities? Best ways to make change stick?

And so much more. I hope you love it as much as we enjoyed having this conversation.

375. It’s Menopause’s Moment: A new conversation about midlife, with Lisa Mosconi PhD Mar 31, 2024

Show notes

Lisa Mosconi PhD, renowned neuroscientist with over 200 published papers, says: Menopause is having a moment. She’s right, and she’s written the book to meet that moment. The Menopause Brain, a book being celebrated around the world. Gen X has arrived mid-life, with all the state-of-flux symptoms that come with peri-menopause and menopause and said: Enough! Why are we not talking about this? Why are we being gaslit in Dr’s offices for our symptoms and being offered multiple medications for anxiety, depression and pain, but not having a conversation about what might help us far more, due to outdated medical research claims of overblown HRT risks? We also have been robbed of the exciting potential for embracing the rite of passage into a new chapter, from a spiritual and personal growth perspective. We discuss:

Menopause is not a disease, and it’s not just ‘aging’ - it is a neuro-endocrine transition: A biological event
What’s happening during this transition and why sex hormones aren’t just sex hormones
The risks that increase from midlife for women including a discussion around Alzheimer’s Disease
The benefits of ‘getting to the other side’ from a resilience and cognition perspective.
Was HRT risk ‘fear’ in the late 20th Century overblown?
Lifestyle considerations to support us during our transition
Validation for your own experience: A critical piece in the transition

374. Living your life by your rules - and the rules can change, with Chris Guillebeau Mar 24, 2024

Show notes

How intentionally do you design your life?

In this show, that’s what we’re talking about with Chris Guillebeau, who’s a New York Times bestselling author of The $100 Startup, Side Hustle, The Happiness of Pursuit, and other books. During a lifetime of self-employment that included a four-year commitment as a volunteer executive in West Africa, he visited every country (193 in total) before his 35th birthday. Chris designed his life from an early age and loves showing people who feel called to a more unconventional path, potential ways forward - my favourite thing about Chris and why I brought him to us? No Guru complex. There’s a beautiful, gentle style while also calling on us to expose our own hard truths and tap into our gifts. He’s a great encourager in a world of protocols, critics and clickbait, leading us towards something deeper with this one precious life.

I hope you love it

Show notes

If you spoke from the heart, what would it say? If you acted from the heart what would you do?

And so, on this show, we do exactly that, complete with role plays and practical scenarios that you can apply from today!

How that might show up in the body and mind over time

What we can start to do to become effective communicators and not ‘let things slide’ that fester, and more.

372. Lizzie Williamson: Finding the joy in movement Mar 10, 2024

Show notes

Question: Have you found a way to enjoy movement or is it a chore? Lizzie Williamson brings joy and positive vibes into every room she enters, and today, she’s here to talk about not only how key movement is for our health, but movement as a joyful thing to do and finding that joy through movement, in a culture that often sees movement as a ‘have to’ and something one has to try and find ‘motivation’ for. We flip the script on today’s show.

We talk about:

Language matters when it comes to movement
Motivation: It’s not what you need to start moving, it’s what you GET
Workplaces and movement
Common excuses: “I don't have time to exercise”
Movement when it all feels challenging - depression, new parents, perimenopause, injury…Lizzie shares how it was a key piece of her post-natal depression healing.
Joy: The missing piece!
What to do when you just don’t want to

And a few brilliant tips in her second book: The Active Work Day Advantage!

Such a great show - I can’t wait to learn what your aha’s are, Alexx, your Low Tox Life podcast host and founder of the Low Tox movement.

370. Chinese Medicine and the perimenopause transition with Dr Keri Krieger Feb 25, 2024

Show notes

Dr Keri Krieger, a doctor of Chinese Medicine and acupuncturist with over 20 years of experience and I met when I was half naked on a treatment table at a retreat. I’ve loved the energy she brings to the health space ever since. Today, she invites us to explore perimenopause as the opportunity of a lifetime to prune away all that doesn’t serve us, tune into our truth to our core, and support this period of great change with good humour, vulnerability and open dialogue. We discuss:

Perimenopause and menopause as medical conditions to ‘treat’ - let’s broaden beyond the view of this phase being a condition.
Chinese Medicine sees perimenopause as one of the 3 of life’s ‘Golden Opportunities’.
Getting the people who love you onboard through your period of change.
Food - the best foods to support your system as your digestion capacity decreases
Helpful pressure points and herbal support in teas and supplements
Dating during this phase and the stories we tell ourselves
Perimenopause in our workplaces - a challenge, as well as an opportunity to hone our genius.

And more. I hope you find it uplifting and soothing, as we both did while recording it.

369. What’s for Dinner? What’s for lunch? Tips for slashing cook-time and boredom dinners and lunchboxes + addressing kids’ preferences, fussiness and agency within boundaries. Feb 18, 2024

Show notes

I’ve been chatting with the Low Tox Life community in DMs and groups lately about that moment when the year settles in and everything feels back to ‘normal’ for many people, especially families with the school year in full swing and no holidays around the corner. Rhythms, routines and getting done what’s got to get done in the week, whether we’re working, at school, or whatever else is going on. I find a lot of gratitude in the mundane. Maybe it’s become I’ve lived through a lot of instability of both health and home and finances through the mould years, or because I moved countries 3 times before I was 5 and then had to live with my grandparents for a bit while my baby sister was really sick and poor mum was at the hospital… The boring routine of a week is actually a great relief and joy for me. But I get it’s not that way for many, and the making of dinners and lunch boxes day after day feels more chore than ‘yay’ - throw endless demands for more ‘fun’ food, more food like so and so is eating, or your kid getting teased for being the ‘real food kid’ and it can be exhausting. Plus? I learnt polling you in my Instagram Stories the other day that most people make - wait for it - INDIVIDUAL MEALS ONE AT A TIME. So, I thought I’d record a show to address all of the things with tips and tricks, an excerpt from my 2nd book to get us jazzed about bucking the system and providing as much real food for our families and ourselves as we can and release a couple of cooking classes.
