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!

288. Water Damage, ERMI testing, and all things mould with Michael Rubino, the Mold Medic Jun 19, 2022

Show notes

This week we are talking about water-damaged buildings, mould, ERMI testing, remediation and what some of the tell tale signs are for water damage as well as some of the best ways to build to avoid it. My expert joining me on the show is Michael Robino, President of All American Restoration and a mold remediator with much experience working with families severely affected by mold. Michael's passion extends beyond remediating homes, as he has now put the wheels in motion advocating for the right to clean air and a tightening up of building codes, materials used and waterproofing techniques to ensure healthier homes in the future and a greater level of rights for people experiencing issues now. On today's show, Michael also takes us through 2 of my past ERMI test results, pointing out various aspects of the reports that show alarm bells for mold-sensitive people living there. If you want to watch that part of it, I've included it as a video section over in the show notes. I hope this show supports you if water damage has been something you're grappling with and if you want more on mould, head to the show notes over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast and click on today's show, to find a post link where I've listed all of the resources we've shared over the years on mold, mold illness, water damage and healing. Enjoy the show, Alexx.

286. Josette Tkacik - A story of determination and selfhealing Jun 05, 2022

Show notes

Ever grappled with a chronic illness or diagnosis and felt sure that you could do much more than what was being recommended? I have as has this week's guest, ex-professional dancer, medical miracle and famed Zumba Instructor Josette Tkacik. This week's show isn't filled with healing protocols or step by steps for how to heal rheumatoid arthritis, which put her in crippling pain and had her staring at a lifetime of multiple medications in her early 30s. Josette fully reversed her illness and was declared a medical miracle, but acknowledges everyone's journey is different. This show is more about sharing a story of hope and looking at what some of the things might be in our lives that aren't serving us so that we can create change before a crisis. Josette's story of disordered eating as a professional ballet dancer, through to being an overworked lawyer, through to being someone who took illness as a chance to walk through a new door and inspire thousands is uplifting and affirms the fact that if we're truly going to heal, a deep, spiritual and energetic evaluation must happen alongside any practical levers we pull through medication, supplements and diet. As always, this is not medical advice and please don't change anything without the guidance of your trusted practitioner(s).

285. Hair accessories get a planet-friendly makeover May 29, 2022

Show notes

I don't know about you but up until about 5 years ago, I never once thought “Gee, I wonder how much damage my hair tie is doing?” and yet, I had written extensively by that time about all sorts of everyday household items and the damage they did and what we could choose instead. It just goes to show, we only know what we know when we know it and today, we're going to talk about hair ties, scrunchies, headbands and look under the hood of Koosho0 - including learning what the name means. It's a lovely chat with founders Rachel Evans and Jesse Schiller about plastic waste, Island life without recycling capabilities, and the many things you have to think about when building a truly sustainable brand.

284. Discovered Wildfoods - wild game for healthier people and planet? May 22, 2022

Show notes

Firstly, as with all shows we've done on food - I'm not here to tell you what to eat. I'll leave that to the doctors to guide you through, but what I am passionate about, is guiding big picture, grey area thinking in this polarised world trying to oversimplify things in black and white narratives which we all end up fighting each other over. No thanks. Not productive and I truly believe there's room for every type of eater to do better for their health and our planet and animals - whether you eat animals or not. To that end, this week we're talking about the impact of wild animals on the landscape - both the wild, native landscape and the farms where food is grown and ask: Could this be the most ethical, environmental meat solution yet? During the pandemic, Billy Staughton & Tara Medina (Discovered Wildfoods) launched their brand of wild-harvested Sambar venison. Coming from diverse backgrounds in events, music festivals, bars, management consulting and even stints as a jackeroo, a wild game near business seemed the logical next step. It posed many challenges but after years of getting the supply chain right, they've not only found a solution to help restore pristine native habitats being threatened by invasive wild game but deliver an ethically harvested, incredibly nutritious meat to Australians.

282. Rafaele Joudry - Is Sound Therapy the missing piece in your healing? May 08, 2022

Show notes

Every now and then I learn something completely and excitingly new after 8 years of interviewing people and today I learnt more about the audio neural pathways (ie the link between our ear function, brain and nervous system) from our guest, Rafaele Joudry. Rafaele has dedicated her life to helping people overcome auditory problems and enhance their lives through better ear and brain health. She pioneered the first portable Sound Therapy program after discovering how the program could benefit her mother's hearing difficulties.

281. Dr. Cody Hanish - On stress, movement, patterns of habit, posture and tech. May 01, 2022

Show notes

This week I invited chiropractor Dr Cody Hanish onto the show, a Sydney-based chiro that lets us all watch him adjust people on his Tik Tok and Insta - it's strangely satisfying to watch, I admit! In today's show, we discuss the musculoskeletal system and how it interacts with lymphatics and blood flow and look at repeat patterns of habit in posture and movement, the impact of tech devices and what to do about it - as I type this I'm adjusting my posture and uncrossing my legs - I've discovered repeat patters of habit and I'm sure you will too after today's show.

280. Holistic healing of people and planet with Biodynamics farmer, David McFall Apr 24, 2022

Show notes

“She shied away from talking about the neighbours saying they were unfortunately no longer on good terms,” David asked her what happened and eventually she shared that the neighbour had flown a pesticide spraying plane over by their property one day and the next, she miscarried. How to feel hope? Enter today's guest, David McFall, a biodynamic farmer from Western Australia. Interviewing a farmer is always a feel-good experience on the show because they're always farmers working with regenerative methods, leaving the landscape better and better, more biodiverse, sequestering more carbon and developing healthier and healthier water systems with each passing year. I hope you enjoy this conversation about how farming innovation doesn't need to hurt the people who farm or the planet, and how we all have a place in the world to connect to nature in some way and be good custodians - city or country peeps.
