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!

298. The Thyroid Debacle with Dr Eric Balcavage & Dr Kelly Halderman Aug 28, 2022

Show notes

Thyroid struggles? This show is where you need to be then for the next 70 minutes. I am thrilled to have back on the show Dr Eric Balcavage, a relentless crusader in thyroid health education and long-term root-causes-based healing. He is one of the duo that has written a new book called The Thyroid Debacle, the co-author also being a past show guest, Dr Kelly Halderman. Kelly Halderman, a conventionally trained and practised physician was hit by two chronic health conditions, one being MS and through her trusting that something more could be done than what she was being told was her lot in life, discovered functional medicine and hasn’t looked back. Eric, seeing sick patient after patient that no amount of spinal adjustments could support for long-term healing in his chiropractic practice felt the same. And so, thanks to these two Drs broadening their understanding of what helps humans achieve homeostasis and lasting improved health, and practising with and educating thousands around the world, we have a powerhouse tackling a thyroid-illness epidemic and having read the book myself I can honestly say I know just how impactful it will be for people to read it and practice what they learn from its pages. Today isn’t all about the book though, as we explore thyroid testing, what gaps there are in current treatments, how you can be on meds and still feel awful and so much more.

297. Grace Niu - A deeper dive into Feng Shui for health Aug 21, 2022

Show notes

This week I have Grace Nui back on the show to dive deeper into Feng Shui and Eastern principles of wellbeing. On an 80minute exploration we dive into the idea that our body is our bodyguard, and how sometimes constant vigilance is an invitation to explore a deeper need for healing. We also talk about chronic presentations, the home, bust myths that everything needs to be a ‘certain facing’ direction for a happy, wealthy, healthy life and look at how we’re being impacted by the stages the world are in and moving to right now, energetically. It’s a fascinating deep dive and show that really helps us make sense of things on not just an individual level but as a collective in the world right now. I adore Grace’s work and we’ve included her website in the shownotes for you. Enjoy the show and head to the show notes for more details over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast

296. Long Covid: What we know is helping, with Naturopath, Carla Wrenn Aug 14, 2022

Show notes

Long Covid. Do you or someone you know still have covid after effects lingering on to varying degrees? Today’s show is for you. With this amount of people experiencing issues - some debilitating - it’s impossible for us to ignore anything that’s proving to be helpful, regardless of our area of training or thinking and I believe it’s holistic health’s time to shine as a true parter to crisis care and come to the rescue. Many of us who’ve had mosquito-borne viruses, biotoxin poisoning, tick borne illness and other often chronic and complicated multi-system conditions are no stranger to long lasting effects of certain exposures and infections. Never in our lifetime though, have hundreds of millions of people caught a virus within the time frame of a couple of years, with the therefore much higher influx within a period of time, of people chronically affected in the aftermath, and so, I have hope that the light will be shone for all who’ve experienced chronic post-viral/exposure issues for decades with little support. Us chronic peeps have often eventually - if privileged enough with the access and means - been driven to explore eastern medicine, naturopathy, chiropractic, homeopathy and more to find ways to improve symptoms and heal, when labs return more or less ‘normal’ and conventional drugs don’t work so we know how many tools can be in the ‘get well kit’ and I’d dearly love for everyone to know how many tools can be in your kit if you do have long covid - don’t lose hope. Many conventional doctors are so heavily regulated that they can’t discuss other options even if you want to so there’s a real opportunity for partnership between types of health professionals here. I have brought us the wonderful Naturopath, Carla Wrenn, specialised in chronic illness and oncology, to discuss the research at the forefront of long covid in the ‘out of the box’ treatment world of holistic healing and nutraceutical support. This show is so needed and I feel grateful to be able to get this information out to the many experiencing issues and debilitating symptoms. Share it far and wide. I hope it’s as helpful a show as I feel it will be and you can head to the show notes for more details over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast

294. The keys to a healthy pelvic floor with Dr. Danielle Bailey Jul 31, 2022

Show notes

When you think ‘Pelvic floor’ most people either think of women who’ve just given birth or elderly people, but having an unstable pelvic floor can affect us all - that’s including men, so I’ve invited a wonderful physical therapist, Dr Danielle Bailey, who helps thousands in her practice and online, get their pelvic floor in shape and transform all sorts of symptoms that aren’t just about peeing when you don’t want to - although that part is, of course, the biggest reason to get excited - even laugh and cry or sneeze, and be relaxed about it. Right? Danielle is a physical therapist and functional medicine practitioner in Plano Texas, USA, specializing in pelvic floor physical therapy. She supports women and men who experience pelvic floor dysfunction, such as urinary leakage, tailbone pain, frequent restroom breaks, pain with intercourse, and constipation. She also helps women who experience discomfort during pregnancy and postpartum. Danielle works closely with clients to help them discover the root cause of their challenging health issues.

292. Localization as an antidote to polarization with Helena Norberg-Hodge Jul 17, 2022

Show notes

This week I am sharing a powerful show with thought leader and localisation champion, Helena Norberg-Hodge. I have invited Helena back, given it’s just been World Re-Localisation-Day, to discuss the practicality, possibility and benefits of localising economies, and to tackle the big topics today such as polarisation as a profit-making reality that keeps us from holding big industry accountable and changing the system that’s causing further and further economic divide and despair world wide - it’s a show to make you THINK rather than perpetuate the ‘what team are you on’ arguments we all seem forced into today. Polarisation is the enemy of true progress and today’s show focuses on the benefits of what true progress are. Can’t wait to hear what you think.

291. Dr. Nicole Beurkens - Raising kids in 2022 to be healthy, and mentally resilient and why grey-area thinking matters. Jul 10, 2022

Show notes

What are some of the biggest factors that affect the health of our children today? How is growing up in a polarised black and white world affecting our kids? What happens to our kids if they are raised in a way that doesn’t factor in an understanding of differences in people, politics and life choices? Today I invite Dr Nicole Beurkens, a triple advance degreed psychologist, educator and nutritionist to help us unpack raising kids in today’s ever polarised world and how we can support them to investigate the complexity of various global and local issues as well as how that feeds into greater resilience and peace. We also discuss some of the biggest things that move the needle for children’s health. It’s a powerful show and I hope you appreciate it as much as I did.

290. Bill Giles on finding your signature diet (and how that in turn supports your immune system) Jul 03, 2022

Show notes

In the coming weeks we’re going to be looking at the Immune System with a few practitioners and specialists in this space - Dr Gary Kaplan’s show from last month was wonderful to kick things off. Today, I interview Bill Giles, Immunobiologist, Hypnotherapist, Yoga Teacher and more, with over 3 decades of clinical experience supporting and optimising people’s immune function. Bill was a pioneer advocating for grain-free diets in the early 90s, co founding the world’s first grain-free bakery and we talk about grains in today’s episode. We explore different foods and their effects on the immune system, from plants to animal proteins, fats and fish. We look at why fructose is such a harmful sugar but not necessarily to all people and look at how one might go about finding their signature diet for optimal health and immune function. It’s a fascinating show that has me wanting to ask more questions, so Bill will be a masterclass guest in our member’s club which you can join here: https://www.lowtoxlife.com/the-low-tox-club/ and be a part of or catch the replay and the many other member-only resources we share, there.

289. Shanya Suppasiritad - On how fashion can be exciting AND sustainable. Jun 26, 2022

Show notes

This week I interview Shanya Suppasiritad, a serial entrepreneur, recipient of the first TWOGOOD grant and founder of RNTR. Imagine if you could rent your favourite brands in capsule collections to wear for 2 weeks or 4 and then you returned them or the next person to enjoy and for them to find their way into a closed-loop recycling system at the end of their life, to become new clothes. This is what RNTR makes possible and I know you’ll enjoy learning more about fashion, textiles, and slowing fast fashion down while creating new jobs… it’s got a little of everything if you’re a fan of clothes but want to do better by the planet in the process.
