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!

    408. What would it look like for you to be completely recovered? Thought Field Therapy with Dr Robert Bray

    “What would it look like for you to be fully recovered” asks Dr Robert Bray of his patients. Powerful question. How would it look for you?  A trigger warning if you are sensitive to trauma, violence or suicide topics. Hugs to you and it might not be for you (although for the same reasons, it might very well be for you).  This show explores Thought Field Therapy a form of ‘energy psychology’, something that Robert added to his tool kit since learning the Therapy from its creator, psychologist Dr Roger Callaghan, in 1996. Robert found that the therapy, a form of specialised “tapping” and muscle testing in combination with counselling and psychotherapy, added what was often missing for the people he saw stuck in loops with their physical or mental health.  It’s a fascinating show where we cover how it can help first responders, military people in active service or retired, victims of abuse and people with chronic illnesses.  If you join us on YouTube (yes, finally the show is on there now too!) you will see me try the therapy for myself with Robert taking me through a mini-session - your ever willing guinea pig ;-)  If you’re in a negative mental or physical health loop, join me for this one. Very interesting and hopefully to someone out there, very helpful!  Thank you to this month’s show sponsors for helping you make your low tox swaps easier:  @ausclimate gives you 10% off their range for the whole of 2024, with brilliant Winix Air Purifiers, the best Dehumidifiers I’ve ever used, their energy-efficient heating range and their new air circulators! code LOWTOXLIFE https://bit.ly/ShopAusclimate @ediblebeautyau has a bumper Low Tox Swaps Aussie beauty offer with 40% off their huge Black Friday sale + extra freebies depending on your cart amount, such as the Body Whip, LED wand, Silk pillow case and mystery gifts - Code LOWTOXLIFE and you’ll see it as an extra 5% off their already loaded 35% off.

    Jessica Maguire is back on the show and while the first show we did was about the nuts and bolts of the nervous system, this week is a powerful exploration of the human experience, our responses, the signals of dysregulation we can look out for in ourselves and others, and the power of helping someone else regulate or having someone who can do that for us, through grief, work, school and just about any of life’s challenges. Main topics this week are:  The Grief journeyOur Responses vs ‘who I am’Relationships - bringing our dysregulation with us! Clues to look for in your body and behaviors that point to dysregulationThe Online World and its contribution to escalating dysregulationThe nervous system dysregulation in the workplace and how it presents. Corrective experiences we can provide or seek out - what is truly ‘being there’ or having someone who is JUST ‘there’ and why is it so healing?  SUCH a powerful show. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we enoyed having it. Plus, Jess wrote a book! The Nervous System Reset is out now. Available in Booktopia for AU peeps and on Amazon US Jessica (BHSci, MPhysio) is a seasoned expert in nervous system education with a Master’s in Physiotherapy, and extensive study into neuroscience and neurology, has helped thousands of students worldwide truly transform their nervous systems.  As usual, anywhere you find podcasts, you’ll find LOWTOXLIFE - even now on YouTube - I know, I know, it only took us 9 years.

    404. Jordanna Levin: Your powerful invitation from astrology awaits

    Is astrology woo woo or one of the most powerful tools we have to become more aware of ourselves and others and the way we all interact?  Jordanna Levin author of “All Signs Point to You” and astrologer takes us on a SUPER fascinating journey through charting, stereotypes, archetypes, influences and road maps - and even responds to an astrology take-down issued by one of my fave people, Adam Grant (we love you Adam, genuinely, but I had to see what Jordanna thought!)  Jordanna Levin is the bestselling author of Make It Happen, Higher Love and Make You Happen, and hosts the popular astrology podcast Lunar Lover. With her background in journalism, Jordanna has built a reputation for taking ‘big’ topics and making them relatable, digestible and downright entertaining. Through her wit, warmth and street-smart practicality she invites readers to get curious about the things that light them up. Jordanna is also a trained astrologer, flexing her skills through her weekly podcast show Lunar Lover, and by offering natal chart readings to clients so that they can understand themselves more intimately creating more self awareness.  I hope you love the show as much as I enjoyed this topic exploration. I was so excited about my chart by the end of it that for the first time in 25 years (yep, after ‘that’ break up in my 20s. ha!) I booked in to get my chart done. Yes I did. 😘💡 Thank you to this month’s show sponsor for helping you make your low tox swaps easier:  @ausclimate gives you 10% off their range for the whole of 2024, with brilliant Winix Air Purifiers, the best Dehumidifiers I’ve ever used and their new energy-efficient heating range. code LOWTOXLIFE https://bit.ly/ShopAusclimate @therahealth Nordic Naturals have a reputation as one of the purest, best-tested fish oil supplements in the world and one we’ve had in our family for 16 years.

    403. Holistic dermatology: a better way forward for our skin challenges with Dr Julie Greenberg

    Skin conditions and treatments. That is this week’s show with naturopathic doctor and herbalist Dr Julie Greenberg, founder of rootcausedermatology.com, helping clinicians get to the root of why skin presentations might be happening for that person and how to treat more holistically. She founded her clinic in LA, USA, The Center for Integrative & Naturopathic Dermatology Inc where she also sees patients to support them.  We discuss:  How we treat skin conditions today and how it’s a broken system, needing stronger and stronger topical treatments and injectibles over time, used on younger and younger patients than was initially considered safe. How we can free ourselves from feeling ‘bad’ for what we’ve done to treat our skin issues in the past and see a place for SOS while we work on the long game. The difference between eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. How the gut and immune function are intertwined, and can then impact our skinThe sun, the bad wrap it gets, how it relates to the 2 different types of cancers called ‘skin cancers’ and what we need to be doing to have a preventative approach to skin cancers.  We’ve done a few shows on skin issues in the past if you need more shows on skin, here they are:  Asha Everts Part 1 and Part 2 Kiran Krishnan, microbiologist on leaky gut and skinLiezel Barnard on strengthening our skin preventatively  And a brilliant masterclass we did on the “Skin Stress Cycle” with live Q&A with Dr Jude Lenart, is in our membership archive library - you can join the Low Tox Club any time for just $49AUD for the year and there are lots of lovely perks if you do! 600+ people can’t be wrong?

    402. Michael Pinto - Toxic Buildings, Mold solution debunking + what if it’s not mold - what else could it be?

    The most common question I get that comes up is about how to “clean” mold!? (Pro tip: switch to saying remove not ‘clean’ or ‘kill’.) Michael Pinto has been in the business of identifying harmful hazards in the home from mould to asbestos, to lead and more, for over 40 years, and now semi retired, I cheekily thought he might have time for me to data mine his experience - and he said yes! We cover: Knowing how detailed you need to go in your cleaning when it comes to mould and the people in your house (ie, do you have a ‘sensitised’ person) VacuumsClothsChemicalsSteam cleaning ins/outs And so much more… So, if you’ve ever wondered about how to thoroughly clean your home when it comes to finding a bit of surface mould, or when you’ve moved somewhere new to ensure it’s properly clean or maybe after remediation when you aren’t able to pay for the whole-home clean up?  This one’s for you!  More about our guest… Michael A. Pinto served as the CEO of Wonder Makers Environmental. Although based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Michael’s acknowledged expertise in dealing with a wide variety of indoor environmental issues, as well as safety and health concerns, has led to helping clients around the world. With six books and over 230 published articles in his 45 years as a professional, Michael has specialized in “translating” difficult technical material to make it understandable to the layperson. Over his career Michael has developed hundreds of training programs and technical presentations; training over 12,000 students.   As would be expected, Michael has a number of professional certifications including Certified Safety Professional (CSP), Safety Management Specialist (SMS), Registered Third-Party Evaluator (RTPE), Certified Mold Professional (CMP), Certified Forensic Operator (CFO), Fire Loss Specialist (FLS) And Environmental Risk Specialist (ERS). Michael can be reached at map@wondermakers.com.  You can also connect with Michael on the following platforms; Website— https://www.wondermakers.com/  And a list of articles he’s written to help contractors https://www.wondermakers.com/Education/Articles/Quick-References-for-Contractors Alexx x Thank you to this month’s show sponsors for helping you make your low tox swaps easier:  @ausclimate gives you 10% off their range for the whole of 2024, with brilliant Winix Air Purifiers, the best Dehumidifiers I’ve ever used and their new energy-efficient heating range. code LOWTOXLIFE https://bit.ly/ShopAusclimate @therahealth Nordic Naturals have a reputation as one of the purest, best-tested fish oil supplements in the world and one we’ve had in our family for 16 years.
