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!

147: Beyond Mars and Venus with Dr John Gray Jul 07, 2019

Show notes

I am thrilled to have Dr John Gray join me on the show this week. His Mars/Venus book series has forever changed the way men and women view their relationships and he has authored over 20 books since the mid 90s. At the core of his work, John helps men and women better understand and respect their differences in both personal and professional relationships. His approach combines specific communication techniques with healthy, nutritional choices that create the brain and body chemistry for lasting health, happiness and romance.

Most of us have to communicate with the opposite sex, regardless of whether we are in a male/female relationship and this podcast will support us all that much I can tell you. We talk about the biology of what men and women need when communicating and connecting, common pitfalls in long term relationships, addictions such as porn and their detrimental effects and the role reversals often happening in families and how to navigate those in the modern world and striving for meaningful equality.

146: Utopian community of Serenbe with Steve Nygren Jun 30, 2019

Show notes

One of my favourite things to do for the show is to research people who are thought leaders and boy have I found one in Steve Nygren, co creator of “Serenbe”. Imagine a land plan that could provide for 20% more housing while saving 70% of the land for agriculture and recreation. Sounds impossible, right? In 2004, the Nygrens began development of Serenbe the community to demonstrate that it was absolutely possible and I talk to Steve about how it came to be that he could imagine this place and then bring it to life. The result is reminiscent of century-old communities connected to current technology. Steve has chaired many local and state boards and currently serves on three national boards dealing with environmental issues.

Enjoy this show and inspiring story that will have us challenging the need to build concrete jungles to house everyone, and reimagine our urban futures. I'll fight you for the plane ticket to go visit and maybe move there! You can find the details and general show notes with this month's sponsor offer over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast

Nicole Bijlsma is a household name for the Low Tox Life community and in this week's show we deep dive into the concerns over 5G technology and how you can protect your family. We also take a look at common questions about reducing your exposure to EMFs in the home - especially when you have solar, metal furniture or a steel roof. If you haven't come across Nicole's work before, you're in for a treat. Nicole is a woman of passion, and her passion lies in environmental medicine.

143: The End of Alzheimer’s with Dr Dale Bredesen Jun 09, 2019

Show notes

Alzheimer's disease: It's something you dread that your future might reveal, and sadly the statistics are showing it to be more and more likely. 10 million cases of dementia are diagnosed worldwide each year, around 70% of those being an Alzheimer's diagnosis. This is all compounded by the fact that there's been very little progress in the past decades when it comes to treatment, much less reversal, so it's costing families and public health departments much heartache and money with the frustration of no real solutions in conventional medicine at this point. So where does that leave us in the hope stakes? Enter Dr Dale Bredesen. Dr Dale Bredesen, the author of New York Times bestseller “The End of Alzheimer's”, is my guest this week and I am so, so thrilled to present this interview that contains bucket loads of hope. He is at the forefront of cognitive decline science, treatment and reversal and holds the noble pursuit of solving the irreversible nature of many cognitive decline diseases before his time's up. In his paradigm-shifting book, Dr. Bredesen offers real hope to anyone looking to prevent and even reverse Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline. This conversation goes deep into the why and the how of cognitive decline the different root causes of Alzheimer's disease, what exactly is happening in the brain to cause decline and how best to navigate options and protocols. Dale also reveals that we have 20 years of signs that are treatable and reversible before the onset of Alzheimer's so this illustrates to me just how empowered we can be when it comes to our health in the face of much doom and gloom surrounding this difficult disease on not just the patient but everyone in the family.

142: Thyroid health starts in the cells with Dr Eric Balcavage Jun 02, 2019

Show notes

How deep is your understanding of the thyroid? Dr. Eric Balcavage is my guest this week and is a chiropractic physician who has been in private practice in Glen Mills, PA since 1996. He received his Bachelor's degree in 1990 from Kutztown University and his Doctorate degree in 1995 from Palmer College of Chiropractic. Dr. Balcavage is a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS), a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Board Certified in Integrative Medicine, along with being a licensed Chiropractor in Pennsylvania. Dr. Balcavage is continuously advancing his knowledge with post graduate studies. In this week's show you'll have a clear and deep understanding and feel more empowered to connect with doctors and other practitioners who can support you. So often people experience a range of symptoms caused by thyroid imbalances but did you know that A LOT is happening in the cells before the gland gets affected. And here's the kicker: It's often the TSH that's tested (that's the test that tells us if the gland is damaged. This show with Dr Eric Balcavage is your guide to not just the thyroid gland but what's happening at the cellular level WAY before problems with the gland show up. We go through testing, what to test as well as thyroid markers to see what the big picture is, the cell danger response, thyroid health at a cellular level, identifying your key stressors and bringing your body back to balance. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. As usual the show notes and show supporter offers can be found at lowtoxlife.com/podcast

141: Breaking the habit of being myself with Alexx Stuart May 26, 2019

Show notes

This week there are no questions and there is no guest - I'm chatting to you guys directly about my experience of starting to do Dr Joe Dispenza's work. When I came through the worst of mold illness (google “The whole mold story Low tox life” to hear all about that!) I realised I was catastrophising at the smallest things, always thinking the worst would happen and that was so unlike my pre-mold self that I knew I had some mental work to do to upgrade my mind. Enter Dr Joe who I'd read in the past, seen on YouTube and in documentaries and had even bought a short course via Hay House from - just sitting there untouched. The rest is history once I finally decided it was time to transfer my appreciation for his work, to doing the work myself. It's been insightful, profound and a window into what's to come as I make this work a part of my life moving forward. I speak about the experience of doing the Advanced Week-Long retreat - including how non retreat like it is, and what I noticed when I meditated 6-9 hours a day for a week with a splash of climbing an enormously high ladder and jumping from a high platform once I hurled myself onto the plank at the top - picture is in the show notes and quite funny! Meditation has always been a have to. Now? It's an “as if I would miss it!” so I'm excited to share some of the aha's, mystical moments and synchronicities that have popped up out of doing this work. Can't wait to connect with any low toxers who are on the same journey or who wish to be, via our Low Tox Club.

140: Peri menopause with Dr Carrie Jones May 19, 2019

Show notes

Dr Carrie Jones is a naturopathic physician and the Medical Director for Precision Analytical, Inc, creators of the most cutting edge hormone test on the market, the DUTCH Test. She lectures, teaches and writes frequently on the same topic. Understanding adrenal, thyroid, and sex hormones is complicated. Her job is not to judge. Her job is to educate and empower and that is why I absolutely love Carrie. If you missed her on Show #87 talking hormones and stress, do head back there to archive-listen, but today? It's all about Perimenopause. It can be a destabilising time for women but it doesn't have to be, and Carrie takes us through what's happening, what we can do to mitigate disaster and how testing (not sponsored by the way!) can ensure we get a clear picture of what's going on for us bio-individually so that we can move forward with our eyes wide open through this time in our lives. I hope you enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed it. As usual, you can find the show notes and show supporter offer over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast.

139: Plastic Free South East Asia with Sarah Rhodes May 12, 2019

Show notes

I love highlighting stories of people who woke up one day and started playing a bigger game to make a difference to health or our planet. This week's guest could be any of us.

In June 2014, Sarah Rhodes, an Australian, attended an intensive training program on climate leadership, facilitated by Al Gore, former US Vice President and became part of the Climate Reality Leadership Corps. More inspired than ever and as part of her commitment to the program, Sarah set about engaging more people to take action against climate change.

In July a friend invited her to join a month long challenge called Plastic Free July – the quest to avoid all single-use plastics for a whole month. This was a huge eye-opener to how much of the main plastics we all use and especially where there is plastic that is less obvious.

In October of the same year, she moved to Siem Reap, Cambodia, where impacts of climate change are already felt – the time for action is now and now that she's heading up Plastic Free July for South East Asia, the future is bright and we talk about her journey and what the plastic situation is like in Asia, as well as what we can do to keep focused on progress instead of ‘how bad it all is'.

138: Adaptogenic Herbs and healing blocks with naturopath of 25 years, Anthia Koullouros May 05, 2019

Show notes

Adaptogenic herbs: All the rage these days and self-prescribing is rife - but is it helping or hindering your health? Anthia Koullouros is a brilliant naturopath and passionate herbalist with 25 years clinical experience in Sydney, Australia. She's also a gifted tea maker, with her OVVIO teas being sipped in some of the finest restaurants in the world as well as throughout local cafes. When Anthia and I were both speaking recently at the Mindd Forum, she closed the day with a wonderful talk and I just had to invite her on the show to share it and more with us. So, we start with adaptogens - everything from Shisandra to Amla to Bacopa Monnieri and many herbs in between, and then move to discuss stress and its many presentations, as well as fear and the block it can create for you on a healing journey. It's chock full of useful information this show and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. The show notes and podcast supporter offer can be found over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast Enjoy! Alexx x
