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!

318. Glenn Livingston - Bye bye Binge eating to find food freedom Feb 12, 2023

Show notes

Trigger Warning - If you have an eating disorder or mental health condition that requires medical treatment for impulsivity, we discuss binge eating and habit reform in this episode.

Psychologist Glenn Livingston helps people towards healthy eating habits for a living. Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food.

His work centres around self-exploration, kindness and achieving food freedom if you live a life lured by food constantly without a framework for breaking free. In today’s show we explore a world where we ‘never binge again’. Is it possible? Glenn believes wholeheartedly YES. Why is it that we knowingly do things that we know aren’t good for us? How can some people make changes and stick to them and you find it super hard? Do you find yourself boredom eating? Reaching for food repeatedly before meals? Finding you eat one thing that you know is less than ideal for health only to then do it more and more ‘because what the hey, you’re not perfect now so this is you’. xxx.

317. Dr Ali Walker - A doctor of group dynamics can teach us about who we click and clash with Feb 05, 2023

Show notes

What is an ex-criminal lawyer doing on the podcast you ask? Well, Dr Ali Walker wasn’t satisfied in that line of work and went on to study executive coaching and obtain a PhD in group dynamics. She wants all of us to have a framework and literacy around our own personality, energy, communication style and how we can contribute to group dynamics with our eyes wide open as well as understanding others better - at work, in our families in leadership. You’ll learn about high, mid and low-frequency types, as well as high, mid and low-intensity types and how we are all one of each in different combinations. You’ll even see Ali profile me live and absolutely nail my frequency and intensity combo type. Very cool. Knowing ourselves and being able to spot other people’s types helps us understand each other rather than have unnecessary misunderstandings and friction - Ali will help you take things way less personally about other people’s behaviour. Her new book “Click or Clash” is worth a read if you found today’s show interesting and want to go deeper. Profound work making relationships and group dynamics profoundly simpler!

316. Erin Lovell Verinder: Herbal Medicine And Detoxification - A holistic approach. Jan 29, 2023

Show notes

When we think detoxification these days, we often think quite mechanically about purging, killing things (mould/parasites), intensive programs, expensive labs et al, and while there is a time and place for all of it and it’s a bio-individual need, nutritionist and herbal medicine practitioner Erin Lovell Verinder wants us to explore what a day by day, bit by bit approach looks like by exploring the magnificent plants that help us detoxify and eliminate every day as well as the ways in which we might need to up the ante from time to time. We discuss her 3 x desert Island plants as a herbalist, how important the mindset around health is, the different ways in which we can become empowered by plants-as-medicine and incorporate them safely into our day to day.

315. Jessica Maguire - Repairing the nervous system Jan 22, 2023

Show notes

How is your nervous system health?

Does a sugary snack lift you up and give you feel-good vibes only to have you return to fatigue or anxiety shortly afterwards?
Do you feel completely non plus about everything? Kind of numb without a way forward?
Are you experiencing chronic pain or digestive issues?
Feel a cold sweat come over you when a stressful email hits the inbox and you can’t seem to move on fro that feeling?
Chronic anxiety, fatigue or a syndrome no one seems to be able to help you move forward with in an impactful way?
Trying to find a way to heal trauma from the past and not be so easily thrown into unstable emotions and physical symptoms?

If you’re not looking at nervous system health and healing with any of these things and more, it is time to do that, joining me is Jessica Maguire, founder of “Repairing the nervous system” who generously shares daily ways that we can create robust nervous system health and today we’re exploring vagal tone, neuroception and more as we navigate how the power of nervous system work and support can be so incredibly healing.

314. Colleen Ryan-Hensley on “binging sober” - drawing ourselves to a place of health and healing by moving through what’s difficult. Dec 18, 2022

Show notes

This show takes a look at sobriety in a powerful new way where absolutes work for some and are needed, Colleen Ryan Hensley shares an additional perspective: What if we binged on sobriety the way we binged on all the things that take us away from feeling all the feelings of life and moving through it wholly awake and more empowered? Colleen is a 10-year Navy veteran, candidate for Certified Mental Performance Coach with the Association for Applied Sport Psychology and founder of https://colleenryanhensley.com/ which I encourage you to connect with if today’s conversation resonates. She holds an advanced degree in performance psychology and spent 5-years with the team of cutting-edge researchers and clinicians at the University of Texas at Dallas’ Center for BrainHealth teaching High-Performance Cognitive Training to military veterans and their spouses and caregivers, active duty military, and first responders around the country. There are a lot of things we do to numb ourselves in life and today we explore how it looks and what we might stand to gain by widening the gaps between those numbing tools being in use, and the times when we’re “binging sober” as Colleen puts it. A wonderful show to encourage introspection as we close out a year and look to the next. Thanks for being here as a brilliant member of our podcast-listening community.

313. Bruce Scott on the power of bodywork. Dec 11, 2022

Show notes

We often don’t know just how good we are designed to feel and in today’s show, I interview Bruce Scott, the Body Magician, who works hard to help people feel that. Bodywork is a way through human touch and guidance, to help us nourish our nervous systems and re-write the programming of our physical and mental state as a result - a powerful tool because we are an equal part of the process rather than having something ’done’ to us and in a world where health is so often externalised, bodywork calls on us to come home and explore. How did Bruce come to do this work? It’s a powerful story in itself. At ten years of age, Bruce became sick with viral meningitis and went from being an elite gymnast to living in a dark room unable to go outside, even to school. Extensive treatments with Western medicine were not helping and by thirteen, Bruce had arthritis in every joint in his body.

He started learning tai chi and receiving a Swedish remedial massage once a week. Within six months, he was fully recovered and could play sports outdoors, run for miles and started boxing.Bruce, aka The Body Magician, says the combination of movement, breathing and massage transformed his life and now he is using it to transform the lives of others. Known as BODYWORK, Bruce's work is a therapeutic practice combining massage, assisted stretching and breath-work to heal the body.He is on a mission to support the body’s ability to heal, and helps clients find energy, vitality, creativity and clarity through deep relaxation. Bruce works with everyone from athletes to CEO’s, mums and dads, entertainers, artists, authors and more. He helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, burnout, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, hormonal challenges, migraines, PTSD, pregnancy, pre and post operative care and mor and I’m delighted to bring you this conversation that I had with Bruce on the show as 2022 comes to an end.

312. Operation Crayweed - A regenerative marine ecology project en route to success, with Adriana Verges Dec 04, 2022

Show notes

This week I am thrilled to present you with an example of hope and progress in the regeneration space. With the right tools, funding and action we can rebuild the health of our planet and Professor Adriana Verges and her team are showing us the way with Operation Crayweed on the coast of Sydney, Australia - I’m so inspired to bring you this story because it shows a path of success and once we believe we can be successful in regeneration efforts, we see the evidence and positive effects, we then have more conviction and motivation and the ripple effects are in motion. Professor Vergés’s research focuses on the ecology and conservation of coastal marine habitats. In particular, her team investigates the ecological impacts of climate change in our oceans and develops hands-on restoration solutions to protect and conserve marine ecosystems including seagrass meadows, kelp forests and coral reefs.

311. Dr Lucas Tims on cancer - root causes, prevention and how we can broaden our treatment options for improved patient experience. Nov 27, 2022

Show notes

This week continuing our health series, I interview Dr Lucas Tims, medical director of the Riordon Clinic, Kansas, USA. Cancer through the naturopathic doctor lens gives a broader set of options to explore to not only treat the patient, but to change the terrain and make the body less hospitable to cancer now and into the future - a key piece of the treatment and healing puzzle sadly missing in conventional care which is “let’s try to kill and zap it and hope it doesn’t return or grow’. It’s inspiring to know Dr Lucas and other physicians like him are out there providing this holistic care and I hope it’s a helpful show for you, friends and any family that might need it right now.

310. FROM SCRATCH: Adventures in Hunting, Fishing, and Foraging on a Fragile Planet, with David Moscow Nov 20, 2022

Show notes

What does “From Scratch” cooking mean to you? In modern times it’s come to mean making food at home, instead of ordering take-out or packaged snacks. Today, we take “from scratch” to it’s true meaning which is hunting, gathering, fishing and then preparing the food, exploring how that looks around the world, through the work of film maker and story teller, David Moscow. David Moscow is the creator, executive producer, and host of From Scratch and co-author of a book by the same name. He made his feature film debut at age thirteen in Big, starring as the young Tom Hanks; years later, he starred with Christian Bale in Newsies. He has appeared in dozens of films, television shows, and theater productions over a thirty-five year career. Most recently, David founded the production company UnLTD Pictures. He has executive produced more than twenty feature films and he also develops mixed-income sustainably green apartment buildings - in his spare time! I hope you enjoy our exploration and his stories, from FROM SCRATCH: Adventures in Hunting, Fishing, and Foraging on a Fragile Planet.

309. Endometriosis with Alexandra Middleton, naturopath. Nov 13, 2022

Show notes

Are you or someone you know experiencing heavy, painful periods or suspecting/diagnosed with endometriosis? Today’s guest, Alexandra Middleton received so little care in her early journey that she quit investment banking and studied naturopathy to better understand and support her disease and then work to support other women in clinical practice. Endometriosis has been vastly underdiagnosed with hundreds and thousands of women complaining of debilitating symptoms and pain with nothing more than a suggestion of a pain killer and rest. In today’s show we discuss what’s at play, what some of the root causes can be that contribute to the development and progression of endometriosis, and how looking after ourselves and our environment is key as we heal and recover - with or without surgical intervention. Please share it far and wide with those who might benefit from the support and guidance. Enjoy the show and head to the show notes for more details over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast
