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.

    436. Gabriela Rosa - When “health care is too expensive” it’s a public health crisis: Carving the path forward for fertility and other health epidemics.

    Gabriela Rosa realised she was onto something, when her clinic started producing healthy baby after healthy baby in partnership with their patients, when they’d ‘tried everything’ before finding her. That journey has led her to where she is now - in the final throes of her doctorate in Public Health at Harvard University in the USA - also now the epicentre of uncertainty for international students as well as the research funding that many don’t realise benefits millions of people around the world in scientific advancements. On this show, we discuss many aspects to the public health crises playing out in modern day. Fertility challenges and needing to dramatically change the way we support people.Health care access - how we can avoid elitism and the best health care being for the privileged fewArriving at consensus: How is this done? What is involved? Is there the right to question each other in the halls of Harvard?Gabriela Rosa is a fertility specialist, reproductive health educator, and Harvard University-awarded scholar and an accomplished and experienced business leader and entrepreneur. Gabriela created the world’s first entirely virtual and holistic fertility clinic. Enjoy the show Your Host, Alexx Stuart Want to learn more about this week’s guest?

    435. An invitation to see the meditative arts in a whole new way with Jeff Patterson

    What’s your relationship with the meditative arts? Tried meditation but gave up because of being ‘too busy brained’? Think Tai Chi and Qi Gong is for the elderly only? Find it hard to keep a regular practice? Maybe it’s just overwhelming as to ‘what’ to exactly do and it’s a worry it’s ‘not working’? On this week’s show I invited Jeff Patterson who has been practicing, studying and teaching in the meditative arts for over 30 years and I can confirm, even just speaking with Jeff, by the end of our time together I was calm, centred and had a super productive day, despite having just moved house! We dive into the benefits of the meditative arts, how to tailor the experience of mindfulness, meditation and movement-based meditative arts to your life, priorities and curiosity.  So many golden nuggets! Alexx x Want to learn more about this week’s guest? Jeff Patterson has over 36 years of experience, practicing and teaching the meditative and martial arts.

    434. Dr Elisa Song - Confidently building your holistic toolkit for your child's health

    A treat on the podcast this week as we lift this epic class with @healthykidshappykids renowned paediatrician and author, Dr Elisa Song, out of our Low Tox Kids course vault for you. With empowering knowledge and upgraded habits, we can keep medications for when they really do save the day - we’re lucky to have them, but the aim is to ensure a ‘genuine need’, not ‘quick repeat fix’ if there’s a broader piece to work on for a better long game. I never knew with all my migraines in my late teens/early 20s, that burning through a pack of Paracetamol/Codeine combo pills a month was not a great idea for my liver. I also became resistant to Amoxycillin by 28 with chronic tonsillitis - that’s what led me to naturopathy, learning about immune system strengthening, addressing food intolerances and then going onto look at more day-to-day products and BOOM: Founding the Low Tox Life as a blog in 2009 when I saw how any good-better-best options there were to switch to - and even more now 15 years later! Since 2014 I’ve been bringing incredible experts together in more structured ways of learning for specific goals away from the internet noise. We have 10 courses at Low Tox Life to help support your goals. Our in house practitioner, Lisa Waayer, a naturopath and building biologist, has been hard at work with me these past few months, upgrading our 10 courses to ensure they’re 2025-up-to-date. Low Tox Kids is SO helpful and this class with Dr Elisa Song from the course is a topic that a lot of parents want help with: Confidence in a wider range of tools beyond allergy meds, painkillers/fever-reducers and antibiotics for our kids when appropriate. A physician’s guidance is here to help - as powerful and helpful as it was when we recording this for the Low Tox Kids course 7 years ago!

    432. Adam Scott Kunz - The human struggle between freedom and security and how to think critically.

    Cult thinking. Groupthink. Black and white thinking. “Loud, vocal thinkers’ and how extreme sound bites dominate the modern media landscape thanks to algorithms, painting a ‘majority picture’ when most people are not living out those extremes in day-to-day lives. It’s quite a time to be alive, and also a time when it’s very easy to let the fear of something cloud our ability to judge the reality of a situation fully. Is “Apatheism” a new way forward? I’ve always been fascinated by people we turn into our saviours and gurus, as well as charismatic authoritarians who sweep in and seduce us in our personal or collective vulnerable times.. That moment we start rationalising and making excuses for a cult leader, where perhaps a couple of years ago, we’d have been dead against that very thing/person we now defend. On Monday, I explore the murky waters of freedom, autonomy, cults and social systems with Professor of Political Science and Constitutional Law, Adam Scott Kunz, who specialises in cults and political philosophy and has worked alongside the famed Dr Janja Lalich, considered a global authority on cults, until her recent retirement. This show is NOT an attack on anyone, your beliefs, your religion, the diet you feel healthiest on or other held views, but a show to see how we can ensure we are “critical thinking” and not just believing we are, and how we can balance beliefs with values with freedom and come together on common overlaps that benefit us all and how we all struggle with freedom and belonging and ‘others’. One thing I know for sure after this conversation is that the best thing is to know we don’t know anything for sure. So there you go!  I hope you tune into this fascinating exploration… Alexx x Want to learn more about this week’s guest?  Website: www.adamkunz.com  Thank you to this month’s show partners for joining us to help you make your low tox swaps!  @ausclimate is our major partner giving you 10% off their range for 2025, with Winix Air Purifiers, Dehumidifiers and their new energy-efficient heating, air-circulating and cooling range. code LOWTOXLIFE (also works over and above their sales - pro tip!) https://bit.ly/ShopAusclimate @ediblebeautyau has put together a generous offer for us - 30% off for the month of May with code: LOWTOXLIFE.

    431. Dr Leah Hechtman: Exploring the nuances and boundless capacity of the female, over a lifetime.

    Can one podcast hour cover how eating carbs before bed likely puts you in progesterone deficiency and explain the many reasons that play into a female “turning out to be them/do what they do” in life?  Yep. @drleahhectman and I start with ‘what happens from the moment you have the extra X chromosome and are defined as female, and go where the exploration took us: It’s quite a ride.  You were never meant to be like ‘every other female’. What a relief. This week we unpack this science - there’s so much more that makes you, you and I hope, even for all humans, it makes you feel empowered to know how much plays into ‘you-ness’, whatever your sex or gender.  This week with Dr Leah Hechtman, we learn the many things that make us our unique selves when we have the XX chromosome:  Hormone receptors + qty of them for different hormones, unique to you!Types of hormones, Metabolic typeGenesLife stages and transitionsEnvironmental inputs laid over the top of these… You were never meant to be like every other female. There is a reason you’re you and, as you might have guessed, it’s due to many things. The rising awareness of the perimenopause/menopause experience adds the need to ensure we feel ‘true to ourselves’ on that journey into a new life chapter, however we choose to navigate that. Enjoy the show. Tell your friends - it’s knowledge and understanding everyone should have.  Alexx Stuart,  Your Host.  Connect with Leah: Instagram— @drleahhechtman Website— drleahhechtman.com  Thank you to this month’s show partners for joining us to help you make your low tox swaps!  @ausclimate is our major partner giving you 10% off their range for the whole of 2025, with brilliant Winix Air Purifiers, the best Dehumidifiers I’ve ever used and their new energy-efficient heating, air-circulating and cooling range. code LOWTOXLIFE (also works over and above their sales - pro tip!) https://bit.ly/ShopAusclimate @ediblebeautyau has put together a generous offer for us - 30% off for the month of May with code: LOWTOXLIFE.

    430. Joy Hussain MD, PhD - The magic of Sauna - think it’s for cold climate dwellers only? Think again!

    Do you use a sauna? A specific type of favourite sauna or temperature or frequency? Never tried it but sauna curious? Dr Joy Hussain was a practising physician for many years before realising there was something very special about the sauna. She had Reynaud’s syndrome, which affects circulation, and noticed that using a sauna while living in Alaska improved her Reynaud’s. Moving to a warm climate next, she assumed that this would be the solution to Reynaud’s but a funny thing happened: It intensified. She reintroduced sauna, and just like that, it was better. This personal experience led her to doing a PhD studying them and here we are years later to discuss:  Different sauna types and how the effects varyWhat we know about resilience, immune systems and detoxification when it comes to saunaThe difference in women’s age stage and cycle timingTemperature relevance in sauna therapy, depending on climate ‘norm’Health conditions improved with sauna in the research so farYou can be part of sauna research: Answer this quick sauna survey to support Joy’s workWant to learn more about Joy?  Sauna Science - FB/Meta public group https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Joy-Hussain  https://healthwithjoy.com.au/research  Thank you to this month’s show partners for joining us to help you make your low tox swaps!  @weledaaustralia - global leader in natural science and beauty gives you a massive 20% off sitewide.
