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!

196: John Gray - Going deeper into relationship communication Jul 26, 2020

Show notes

This week on the show we have Dr John Gray, known for his “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” and the many books he's done since. If you didn't catch show #147, head back and have a listen to last year's show where we looked at hormone balance as key to a healthy relationship, how to get the balance right and what we can do to start communicating better. This show, we deep dive into the questions that came after you listened last year - such good questions! On this interview, we talk about spending more time than ever together during the era of the ‘Rona and how we can do that to success, as well as practical examples to use during arguments, how doing more than the other is relationship sabotage, same-sex couples and how getting the balance right happens when the hormones are the same rather than complementary and much, much more. I hope you enjoy it. I always learn so much from John. Grab more details on his books and work over on the show notes lowtoxlife.com/podcast

193: Teresa Coady on Rebuilding Earth: Designing Eco Conscious Habitats for Humans Jul 05, 2020

Show notes

Do you despair at the concrete jungle so many cities have become as well as the increased drought and floods we find ourselves experiencing these days as our new normal? On this week's show, I interview design, engineering and construction powerhouse Teresa Coady, author of “Rebuilding Earth: Designing Eco-Conscious Habitats for Humans”. Teresa articulates so brilliantly how construction and how we build is key to the healing process our planet and people are so desperate for. In the past 30 years, we've taken more out of the Earth than all of human history…and 70 per cent of it is already back in landfill, so something needs to change and Teresa's proposal for how we move forward is something that I believe everyone needs to hear. I hope you love this interview as much as I did. Head to the show notes for further details over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast

192: My Chemical-free House, with Corrine Segura Jun 28, 2020

Show notes

I first came across Corrine Segura's work in a google search. It was 2016, I was in an inflammation cascade that seemed to bring me a new and bizarre symptom every day and I was searching for answers that doctors weren't able to give me at the time. I suspected our home was the major culprit with water leaks and issues over the years but it was only an inkling at that stage. Coming across work like Corrine's, someone who'd walked the path of sick building syndrome, chronic fatigue, multiple chemical sensitivity and all the rest, she had turned her mess into the study of building biology to be able to support others. She's been a certified building biologist specialised in North America and Canada for 6 years now after her studies and the level of research she does for clients and her Facebook/Blog community is commendable. I hope you enjoy the show and make the most of the sponsor offer over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast

191: Alexx on what to look for to avoid water damage when choosing a home Jun 21, 2020

Show notes

So you want to avoid water damage and mould in a new apartment or house: What do you do? In this show, I talk about some of the things I've been finding and looking for as my family looks for a place to live. There are tips and tools in this show to help you identify a potential issue either in your own home or a home you're considering moving into and it's my hope that after listening to this show and taking a look at some of the past shows on mold illness and water damage, that we raise awareness on just how important it is to keep an eye on issues with leaks and drips, the state of our rooves, the way water pools when it rains and start building and demanding healthier houses and maintaining them well for healthier people inside them!

This week I have Dr Alan Christianson on the show talking dietary research, metabolism, thyroid and iodine. Alan is a naturopathic physician with who shares the vulnerability of his own struggles with weight at a young age (read his full story in the show notes - what a tale!) and why that formed his passion for helping people feel themselves using all tools and research available. It's a great interview from which I know you will learn so much, as I did. Enjoy and head to the shownotes over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast and click on today's show!

189: Dr David Rabin, MD & PhD: Improved methods for mental illness challenges Jun 07, 2020

Show notes

This week's guest is medical psychiatrist and neuroscientist, Dr David Rabin. You can shrug your shoulders about patients not responding to treatments or you can figure out other ways to support them and that's what David has done for over 15 years. Dr. Rabin received his MD in medicine and PhD in neuroscience from Albany Medical College and specialized in psychiatry with a distinction in research at Western Psychiatric Institute & Clinic at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

He has specifically focused his research on the clinical translation of non-invasive therapies that improve mood, focus, sleep, and quality of life in treatment-resistant illnesses. Through his work over the years, Dr. Rabin realized that his patients with chronic mental illnesses who were diagnosed as "treatment-resistant" (having tried two or more gold-standard western treatment courses and failed to sustain sufficient symptom remission) often experienced symptom relief with empathic listening, soothing music, therapeutic touch, biofeedback, yoga, meditation, and other similar practices in the office, but struggled to maintain these benefits at home.

Today we talked about different ways to support and heal PTSD, chronic stress, anxiety and other mental health challenges so that a higher percentage of patients can find solutions. It's a fascinating insight into Dr Rabin's work from his research on microdosing of psychedelics, to psychotherapy, meditation and the creation of wearable tech “Apollo”. I hope you enjoy this look into David's work and connect to the further exploration in the show notes over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast

188: Dr Diva Nagula - his remarkable, non-traditional battle with cancer May 31, 2020

Show notes

Have you ever had a health diagnosis or life event that floored you? Stripped you to your core? A cancer diagnosis isn't just a personal health crisis. It's a call to develop the unhealthy areas of your life into a more authentic wellbeing. Those are the words of Dr. Diva Nagula, this week's guest. Dr. Nagula is a physician who was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2014. By integrating a holistic, functional approach to his traditional treatment regimen he beat the disease into remission and kept it there. His new book FROM DOCTOR TO PATIENT: Healing Cancer through Mind, Body, and Spirit takes readers inside his remarkable journey through heartfelt narrative passages that highlight the importance of balancing the mind, body, and spirit for optimal health. AND we also receive mini Medical Crash Courses that will give valuable information on topics such as inflammation, the difference between chemotherapy and immunotherapy, the role of gut microbiomes, and the importance of immunoglobulins. These call-outs provide valuable building blocks that will be useful to readers both fighting a medical battle of their own or simply trying to live a smarter, healthier life.

Dr. Nagula's story paints a picture of hope that'll empower everybody to look carefully at their lives and create change that matters, and I hope you enjoy the interview as much as I did. Find the show notes and details on how to join our Low Tox Club over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast
