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!

Show #57: Go Low Tox stories Oct 15, 2017

Show notes

Every day people decide one day to explore what it might mean to ditch the nasty stuff and lower their toxic load across day to day life.

I started 12 years ago and it was hard to find all the information and much of what was to be swapped didn't perform well and felt like a poor cousin to my high performance ‘convenient' cleaners and personal care products. Over time, environmental consciousness has exploded and so many beautiful businesses are producing low tox everything from mattresses to moisturiser, coffee cups to sunscreen and it's getting what seems to be easier - until you realise that labelling loopholes allow for a lot of grey area and high tox ingredients, to be inside tubes and pots that say “Natural” and “organic” on the front.

I created GO Low Tox to be a global resource to learn the low tox vocabulary, get across the latest research and feel that you know exactly what to swap to and where to get it and in today's show, I wanted to invite a few past students to chat about how their journey has been in going low tox - the stress and confusion turned empowerment when like minded people get together and learn and grow together.

I hope you enjoy their stories.

Every day people are going to change the world and these are three short stories to prove it.

Show #56: 10 Toxic Truths with Professor Marc Cohen Oct 08, 2017

Show notes

I've brought Professor Marc Cohen back on the show to discuss the toxic load that we are burdened by today in the modern life context.

Professor Cohen is a triple Phd and at the forefront of studying the harmful effects of many of the common chemicals we are exposed to today. We cover his “10 toxic truths”, discussing things such as the fact that chemicals are synergistic - ie more powerful when mixed together even though individually they might be deemed safe.

We discuss how being ‘top of the food chain' is not to our advantage when it comes to eating, we talk about how exposure is unjust, often affecting children worse, and spanning generations.

It's not all doom and gloom given the Go Low Tox round is now open for enrolments to allow you to reduce your touches load across all areas of your daily life, and Marc gives you some of his best tips also.

Show #55: Chronic Inflammation Response Syndrome with Dr Sandeep Gupta Oct 01, 2017

Show notes

Could you be experiencing chronic inflammation? Do you feel like your symptoms add up to being any number of possible ‘things' but also unable to be pinned down as ONE thing? Or that you treat things like brain fog, sore joints, muscle weakness, funny heart beat or adrenals and still don't feel any better? Enter a real possibility of CIRS - Chronic Inflammation Response Syndrome. Up to 38 symptoms are commonly experienced.

A lot of you know the past year, I experienced an inflammation cascade that I'm still recovering from. For a few months there it was extremely scary until I stopped focusing on treating symptoms and trying to blow the smoke away, and started investigating what started the whole fire in the first place. While the catalyst was surgery and being ‘down' from undergoing anaesthetic having a poor detox function; while I was down, inflammation took hold from every possible angle and with the testing available in Australia from Dr Shoemaker's globally acclaimed healing protocol for mold illness, it looks to be mold and possibly confections.

Someone I found along my way in my research and whose wonderful online course I've done (discount for you guys in the show notes) is the wonderful and down to earth Dr Sandeep Gupta. Dr Gupta's work as a Dr Shoemaker old protocol trained physician is wonderful and he always explains things in such a simple way.

I hope this episode helps anyone out there who's perhaps been suffering a long time and not explored chronic inflammation as a possible diagnosis - whether it's from mold or other things such as parasites / Lyme disease / Epstein Barr. This information was truly life changing for me, and I urge you to share this episode with anyone you know who's chronically unwell with bizarre symptoms that don't make sense.

Show #54: You did WHAT for your health? With Guy Lawrence Sep 24, 2017

Show notes

My guest this week is Guy, who I met when we were both speaking at a conference interstate. Guy, who's been in fitness and health for many years, having founded 180 Nutrition, is not just about the high quality protein…

Turns out he has explored some seriously challenging ideas when it comes to optimising the body and mind, including ayahuasca (which comes with warnings in the show notes), the WIM HOF method where you explore the power of thermogenesis (freezing cold) on the body and mind, and a retreat with Dr Joe Dispenza, famous for his work in helping us rewire our brains.

If way out retreats are your thing, you'll get an insight into what goes on and if they're not - it's so interesting to hear about people's experiences of such things, regardless.

Show #53: Food Confidence with Jude Blereau Sep 17, 2017

Show notes

Jude Blereau founded the whole & traditional food movement in Australia, which she discovered and fell in love with when living in the USA. If there's anyone who can make you feel at peace with your food choices and get excited to get into the kitchen, it's Jude.

She tells the story of her fashion days and how food came to call her to change careers, and shares so much wonderful wisdom to direct us away from the extreme options presented so often in media and online, bringing to the fore the emphasis of pleasure and deliciousness around food and how confidence in the kitchen means everything.

There's so much covered I couldn't possibly put it all here, so you're just going to have to listen, m-kay?

Show #52: Electro Magnetic Radiation with Building biologist Nicole Bijlsma Sep 10, 2017

Show notes

There are so many stores behind why people pivot on their careers. Nicole's is one of the most poignant I've ever heard. From being a clinical naturopath she moved into researching all that she could on Building Biology - how our homes can help or hinder our health, becoming a pioneer for education in this space with globally recognised certified Advanced diploma certified courses allowing many to be trained in identifying homes for systemic dampness, mould, EMR levels, dirty electricity and more.

In today's chat we focus on a topic that causes people great confusion: Electromagnetic radiation / electromagnetic fields. By the end of today's show, you'll feel more empowered than confused; more able to put great and simple things in place, than continuing to wonder how you can do anything in our built, tech-driven world.

Show #51: Food Confusion Clarity with Cyndi O’Meara Sep 03, 2017

Show notes

One day I was researching rice bran oil for our Low tox community. I didn't have to look far when I found Cyndi's research on it and over the years since, Cyndi and I have met and exchanged like minded chats on food industry motive, back door deals done to skew our understanding of what makes a healthy food mix, and I knew there was no one better to invite onto the show to share our listener's biggest food confusion issues today.

We talk about fats, sugars, wheat, meat and more in a serious debunking session to leave you clearer on what ‘eating healthy' really means. Cyndi is a nutritionist on a mission to help people live healthy minus stress and shame.

Life's too short for all that, so enjoy the show and bring your note pad - it's one of those! Show notes and sponsor offers can be found at https://www.lowtoxlife.com/podcast/

Show #50 A look back at Year 1 of the Low Tox Life Jul 31, 2017

Show notes

In this show, I wanted to reflect on our first 50 shows. This is going to be a great show for newer listeners to get an idea of which shows they might want to prioritise when back cataloguing, but it's also a chance for us all to reflect on the incredible knowledge that's been imparted with us over this first year, and perhaps revisit some of the shows that are just so packed with information that - if you're anything like me - you want to make sure you didn't miss anything.

Enjoy the show as I talk about my favourite aspects of each show and celebrate the collective knowledge shared so far.

Thank you so much for joining me so far and see you in September after a month's break in August!

Alexx.

Show #49 A beginner's guide to the moon with Jordanna Levin Jul 23, 2017

Show notes

In this week's show after the 3 part series on GMOs, pesticides and organics, we are travelling to the moon - Well, almost.

I thought it would be lovely to take a closer look at how the phases of the moon can impact us and Jordanna is the perfect beginner's guide for us.

We look at productivity, action, retreat and reflection, setting intentions vs, sitting back and analysing and when is the best time in the moon's cycle to optimise various plans in our month and lives. Jordan also takes us through what setting up a moon practice might look like and shares loads of interesting facts with me in our chat from biodynamic agriculture, to women's cycles, to how astrology fits in and more.

If you thought a white sphere some 380K kilometres away from the earth didn't impact us, think again and enjoy this week's show.

Show #48: How food SHOULD be with scientist Fran Murrell Jul 16, 2017

Show notes

Fran Murrell was just going about her science degree in the mid 90s, a new mum horrified by pesticide use and its implications concerning our health in the long term. She decided to do a thesis on how these new GM crops back then, were going to be these amazing developments that would allow farmers to use minimal to no pesticides.

What she found in her research was quite the opposite and in today's episode, we share her deeply personal realisation as both a scientist / researcher and a parent as well as a beautiful chat FULL of nuggets on just how simple it is to change the world from our homes and daily choices.

You are guaranteed to leave this week's show feeling a whole lot more positive about the future and I hope you enjoy the chat as much as I did.
