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!

247. Dr Jill Bolte Taylor on her stroke of insight and whole brain living. Aug 08, 2021

Show notes

This week continuing our brain series, I interview the legendary Dr Jill Bolte Taylor. You may have seen her Ted talk… or that time she was interviewed by Oprah - well, now, she's finally made it to the true big time: The Low Tox Life podcast! Jokes aside, you simply must be bathed in Jill's excitement for the human brain. Beyond her experience of a severe stroke and the 8 years till full recovery, Jill is passionate about helping us harness our brains to their full potential which includes learning the 4 characters that live inside our brains, and what it means to get to know them and what each of them needs, as well as helping us more effectively connect and communicate with those around us. So, thanks to a brain scientist losing the function of half of her brain, and having to rebuild it again, we are now able to gain more clarity about our brains than ever before. Come on this journey to learn about the left and right brains, our 4 characters of the brain and start whole-brain living - it was such an uplifting and clarifying interview and I know you'll love it.

246. Dr Maya Shetreat on plant medicine and teacher plants Aug 01, 2021

Show notes

This week continuing our brain health series, I interview Dr Maya Shetreat - neurologist, herbalist, urban farmer and author of the best selling book The Dirt Cure. This time back on the show, Maya is talking about plants of all kinds for treatments of all kinds - from medicinal plants for every day healing, to plants containing psychedelics and the power of healing treatment-resistant mental health conditions such as depression and PTSD. She even teaches people online how to safely interact with psychedelics (I am not making a recommendation to start treating yourself, simply sharing what we are starting to learn about the power of these interventions, as started on the show last year with psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr Dave Rabin and his work. It's exciting times when we can start to see ways to support people in an area where up to 90% of patients are unsatisfied with how their treatment is progressing.

245. The First Survivors of Alzheimer’s with Dr Dale Bredesen. Jul 25, 2021

Show notes

This week we begin a series on the brain, with four leading experts on various aspects of brain health and recovery. This week Dr Dale Bredesen returns to the show to discuss The First Survivors of Alzheimers - the people themselves and their stories within the wider context covered in his new book. We discuss the evolution of brain research, the frustration of how slow progress can feel and the most important findings in his 30 years researching brain degeneration. If you want to actively prevent Alzheimers in your life and family's life, and if you know someone who may already be experiencing cognitive decline, I couldn't think of a more important person's body of work than that of Dale's which is why I value his time on our show over the years.

241. Days Like These: Parenting comfort with Pip Lincolne Jun 27, 2021

Show notes

This week continuing our parents and kids series, I interview Pip Lincolne, author of the book “Days Like These” which really is a hug in a book for parents, whether you have one child, two or several, whether you have a generally great time as a parent or find it often a very challenging experience, or float somewhere between the two. Parenting is an incredibly expansive experience that fills our days with many, many things to do just to keep our little people alive and growing and as they get older, to support them in starting to make their own decisions in a healthy way. We forget that we might need support and care during this time to help us thrive through the monumental task at hand and so this show, we explore what that help, support and connection looks like. I love the example of the shower, when thinking about the challenges of parenting at the newborn stage. I remember before I became a parent, secretly wondering how on earth my highly intelligent friends who'd had a baby couldn't get showered and changed in the morning and were still in pyjamas at 4pm! Of course all was revealed in time when my boy came along, darn it. I laughed at my pre-mum self as I dragged the bouncer into the bathroom at 3pm one day so that I could have a shower and keep my eye on him if he got upset. Sound familiar? I hope you enjoy and find comfort in today's show and you can head to the show notes for more details over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast

Show notes

This week we begin a 4 week series on parenting and kids health topics - mental and physical and I can't wait to share the upcoming guests with you. To kick us off I speak with Carrie Rigoni, Chiropractor and Pilates instructor with a special passion for vagus nerve support as a key factor in our babies', kids' and parents' ability to thrive on the parent-child journey. We explore:

What is the Vagus Nerve - how much has our knowledge of its function and significance has grown in such a short space of time?

How can we identify if our vagus nerve isn't functioning optimally/ optimally supported - in adults and in kids and babies?

Does the birth delivery style/circumstance affect vagus nerve tone from day dot? And if so what can we do to support our bubs?

What are the factors/symptoms that might suggest Vagus nerve support is needed in babies?

And so much more. Enjoy the show and head to the show notes for more details over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast

239. Amanda Gordon on resilience, boundaries and connection Jun 13, 2021

Show notes

In this show, I am thrilled to bring psychologist Amanda Gordon back after such a powerful show on grief last time she was here. Check out show 226 for a must-listen for all humans. Today we talk about resilience building, stress reduction, boundaries, have-to's and connection to others and our partners while we navigate the stickier points of partnership and equality. It is once again, a drink of common sense reminders that really do help move the needle in our modern lives, where we can easily disconnect from others and a sense of purpose.
