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!

357. Dr Jade Teta -Transpersonal Psychology and Pain as a Path to Purpose Nov 05, 2023

Show notes

For the 3rd time joining me on the show is Dr Jade Teta. I can tell you all of Jade’s ‘technical’ and ‘medical’ qualifications, being a physician, having written 5 books on health and metabolism; his having written chapters for naturopath medicine text books, but what I think is more important is that Jade is an evolver and upleveller; He’s a philosopher, he’s passionate about transpersonal psychology and is currently doing a PhD in this space. Today we’re inviting you to uplevel your thinking and use pain as purpose, with us by exploring the following:

Transpersonal psychology is what you’ve now turned your hand to, currently on the PhD journey… what is tpp?
Pain as a path to purpose - how has this shown up for you at various times in your life, Jade?
Why is self-betrayal the worst kind?
Physical injury and mental pain are more similar than we give them credit - can you help us make the link?
Hurt as a way to help - I love this one because it helps us shift from victim to victor by helping others, a favourite Next Level Human example of mine, to use your terminology… Let’s
Fake it Till you make it - Please don’t, you say: SO what do we do instead when we want to be in the room where it’s happening but we don’t feel we deserve to be there… Being it until you see it!
A lot of the things that happen in our lives that we feel are ‘bad’ or ‘wrong’ like relationships ending, someone passing away, losing a job feel like endings but let’s talk about them as beginnings and how the story we tell ourselves about these stories paves the way for whether they might result in being a positive force for our lives…
How can we start to unpack our stories written in the subconscious?
Why do stories we tell ourselves, that are unhelpful, and we sometimes even KNOW they’re unhelpful, seem so hard to dismantle?

It’s a thought provoking show that I hope will help you in your life.

356. Mikki Williden PhD - Nutrition & Exercise as we age and how to tweak things accordingly. Oct 29, 2023

Show notes

Mikki Williden, PhD joins us to discuss the personalisation piece, regarding healthy ageing, metabolism, exercise choices, recovery from exercise, protein on different diets and more. If any of the following is something you want a calm, science-backed voice on, this is a must-listen:

Health in kids - surprising research and simple fixes as we look at how metabolic issues can begin early in life
Only 3% of people are doing of the 5 things considered to be essential for health - how do you fare?
Exercise from your 40s and onwards - do I have to ‘give up’ my favourite cardio for weights now?
Recovery after exercise and how ‘what’ you do after exercise needs to change as you get older, to preserve muscle mass - one doctor tells you ketones, the next health professional tells you carbs - what is the science telling us and can it be different depending on the person/age?
Protein requirements for all types of eaters and how to ‘get it in’ when you’re doing intermittent fasting/narrower eating windows.
How we can mitigate issues and bounce back from ‘go with the flow moments’ in life as we get older and are less carbohydrate sensitive (ie less tolerant to them)

A great, clear explainer of all of the above, Mikki is a calm and encouraging voice in an often stressful “You’re not doing it right!” health world.

355. Leah Hechtman PhD - PCOS through a lifetime and how to optimise for type. Oct 22, 2023

Show notes

PCOS (Polycystic ovarian syndrome) is a multi-faceted syndrome that has the potential to be very successfully managed as well as the potential to wreak havoc on brain development, toxin-burden, weight, fertility and more if left unchecked. Depending on age and stage in life there are different effects and challenges, too. The more you know and the more proactive you are with a practitioner who can support you, the better life is. Period! Here’s what we cover in this mammoth exploration of PCOS (complete with many women’s health tangents along the way!)

PCOS - Different types & criteria
Genetic and wider endocrine challenges that play into the PCOS types
Getting diagnosed and the niggles that should ensure you at least rule it out
The implication of PCOS at puberty, untreated and what to do to mitigate the associated symptoms and risks.
PCOS and fertility/miscarriage risk (and the good news!)
PCOS and pregnancy - hot chips and toast have a logical reason but it’s not a free pass!
PCOS and perimenopause/menopause
And women’s health general tangents on pregnancy, hormone replacement therapy considerations and more…

354. Kristina Marusic: A New War on Cancer! Oct 15, 2023

Show notes

The ‘war on cancer’ of the past 50 years hasn’t exactly worked. Cancer rates are higher than ever, and the dramatic rise in childhood and young adult cancers cannot be explained away with ‘better detection’ that often gets bandied about. It can be easy to be overwhelmed but, hopefully, while it’s impossible to control all possibilities, there is so much we can do.

Enter investigative journalist, Kristina Marusic, who after writing a 5-part investigative piece on the rise in young people getting cancer, trying to demystify her own sister’s thyroid cancer at 25 where there was zero family history, a publisher reached out and boom: A book defining a “new war on cancer” was born - one that’s going to help us prevent the rise of cancer and turn the story around - an advocacy fight I’ve been on for years, as you all know, helping people reduce their toxin exposures in day to day life. Kristina takes us through some of the stories and situations we can change and impact for the better, along with helping us connect to groups on the front lines of activism and policy change at all levels of government.

I hope you find the hope I found renewed in this conversation, and that if you’re new to all this especially, you find yourself a copy of her book A New War On Cancer - link in bio to grab a copy with a code for a discount! Yay, thanks, Kristina.

353. Healthy home air: Cultivating a health home biome with PJ Harlow Oct 08, 2023

Show notes

On this show with PJ Harlow, I’m bringing you one of the sessions from The Mould Festival I’ve been hosting the past fortnight. In the show, we explore what a healthy home is, from identifying and dealing with mold, to having healthy indoor air from your air heating/cooling solutions, to exchange, to cultivating a healthy home biome that mould will always be a part of - we just want to keep it low and in check as a part of a healthy environment. Every now and then I come across someone who moves the needle to where it feels 100% “right” to be headed. PJ is one of those people in the ‘mould space’. IICRC certified, she is a visionary pioneer in holistic mold consulting. She is known for her forthright work ethic, pragmatic approach to consulting, and deep knowledge of the mold industry's underbelly - a lot of cowboys leaving people in worse positions that when they started and she fiercely advocates for change. She has seen things few professionals have ever seen, and she has been privileged to receive invaluable feedback from her thousands of cases. She uses this knowledge to help her clients make informed decisions about their mold remediation & home's health. A staunch advocate for her clients, PJ will always fight for their best interests. Enjoy the show and head to the shownotes for more resources over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast as well as a handy index of our 350+ shows over the past 8 years.

352. Psychologist Alex Howard says it’s not your fault. Oct 01, 2023

Show notes

Alex Howard, psychologist, author of the new book “It’s Not Your Fault” (love a Good Will Hunting reference!) wants you to know it’s not your fault indeed. He also wants you to know there is a lot you can do to move through whatever trauma you’ve experienced in your life because it doesn’t have to own you forever. If we let it own us, it can significantly impact our quality of life, emotionally, physically and in our work and relationships, so this show is a vital one to compassionately unpacking trauma and beginning the work to move through it - whatever happened, given there’s an element of relativity there in terms of how negative experiences imprint on our mind and bodies. Alexx is the CEO of the Alex Howard Group, an international group of organisations which includes The Optimum Health Clinic, the online learning platform Conscious Life, the online coaching program the RESET Program, and professional training programs Therapeutic Coaching and Therapeutic Nutrition. He has a LOT going on, and his YouTube channel is so generous and helpful, also. I hope you love the show as I did.

351. Lisa Bronner - An unlikely (and awesome!) green cleaning hero Sep 28, 2023

Show notes

Not a huge fan of cleaning? Lisa Bronner is the granddaughter of Dr Bronner and guess what? Cleaning wasn’t always her thing - even being a part of the Dr Bronner’s soap family wasn’t her thing - that all came later and even now, it’s more a necessity and taking pleasure in a lovely environment than it is in loving cleaning. Lisa is joining me for the first time since the show began 8 years ago now, as we talk through a bit of super-interesting Dr Bronner history, Lisa’s childhood, becoming a parent and discovering low tox cleaning, and then taking the stage as the Green Cleaning guru that many people know her as (if you don’t follow her on Facebook you should - always sharing helpful tips and recipes!). She also has a wonderful book out now and for pre-order depending on where you are in the world, called “Soap & Soul”.

350. Perimenopause and beyond with Lara Briden Sep 24, 2023

Show notes

Have you been told that perimenopause and menopause are medical conditions?
Interested in ancestral research or heard myths like “women weren’t required after the child-rearing years and the problems exist because we’re living longer?”
Worried about hormone replacement and what to take and when?
Did you know that this is a time in your life when a rewiring of the brain is occurring?
Symptoms off the charts and want the biggest go-to changes that can be made to move the needle and have a smoother sailing transition?
Want to know why you’re so dang sensitive to everything all of a sudden (cue the glass of wine and zero sleep that night thanks to heart palpitations?

Lara Briden joins me on the show, author of the best-selling books Period Repair Manual, and Hormone Repair Manual, and women’s health naturopathic Dr for over 20 years, talks us through some of the trials, tribulations of the stages we move through in menopause, and speaks not only as a world-renowned doc on the subject, but as a woman saying “it’s great on the other side, don’t worry!”

It’s such an empowering hour on the subject and I hope you enjoy it. Alexx x

349. Alexx Stuart: Low Cost Low Tox Home + Health Tips Sep 17, 2023

Show notes

I am back with another solo show this week, with a few home, mental and physical health low cost, low tox tips, following on from the show 3 weeks ago where I focused on food and personal care cost saving tips. I hope you enjoy it. I cover:

Things you can do that might cost some money now but might save you a tonne in the long run by being proactive with prevention on mould growth.
Ways you can assess if you really need something or if it’s a want.
Ways you can fill your cup up that don’t involve buying anything - cause we sometimes forget!
Ways we can work on our mental health and rest - prioritisation, bringing in structure if you need it, and tuning into what rest and joy look like for YOU - we are not all going to have the same version of what enjoying time away from it all looks like.
Bringing back the village
Ditching the excuses around a healthy lifestyle/exercise being ‘expensive’ when it comes to movement and the many free things you can do to feel great in and out doors.

I hope you love the tips and feel free also to share some of your favourite tips, too.

Alexx
