    474. Obesity Medicine and the willpower women don’t lack, with Dr Michelle Gordon

    This week, I sat down with Dr Michelle Gordon - ex-surgeon, turned board-certified obesity medicine specialist, based in NY, USA. Dr Gordon is a woman who’s walked the path of shame, self-doubt, and relentless pursuit of health only to discover her body’s deeper story, so the power of that as it has informed her practice to support women is something you can truly feel.    Michelle has become a fierce advocate for women navigating midlife weight struggles, metabolic adaptation, and the reality that what works for men and some women, doesn’t always work for other women. We dive into the theory of set point weight, the power of GLP-1 medications like terzepatide and what the weigh ups are - I love that she said “it’s not for losing 10 pounds and we do NOT want to bring back heroin chic!” She explains why obesity is a disease - not a personal failing and not a clap back of the body positivity movement. Michelle also unpacks the systemic gaps in women’s health research, the impact of patriarchy on our bodies and what we’re chasing, and why it’s time to stop blaming ourselves for a system that’s set up to fail us whether that’s the beauty standards or the ultra processed foods that are so highly addictive. If you’ve ever felt like you’re fighting your own biology, this conversation is your permission to pause, question, and reclaim your power. I really felt it myself as this has often been a story in my life, too.  If you need this show or a friend does out there - I do so hope it’s a shame-destroyer for many.  You find the path and tools you want or need and lifestyle around those is always beneficial.  Alexx Stuart Your Host   Fancy a few more podcasts we’ve done over the years, related to this one?

    473. Finally hopeful when it comes to depression - Dr. James Greenblatt’s wish for everyone.

    In this episode, I talk with Dr James Greenblatt about depression and the many things that can play into someone’s diagnosis and treatment solutions.  His new book, Finally Hopeful, explains why depression is rarely just “in your head.” We explore the physical root causes - like micronutrient deficiencies, thyroid issues, inflammation, and even hidden mould - that are often overlooked in standard care. Dr Greenblatt shares how simple tests and targeted interventions can make a real difference, and why hope is the first step toward healing. You’ll learn how to advocate for better testing, understand the risks and realities of antidepressants, and discover practical tools - from diet to supplements - that support mental health without fear or guesswork. This conversation is for anyone who wants to move beyond quick fixes and take charge of their well-being with science-backed, empowering insights. A pioneer in functional and integrative medicine, board-certified child and adult psychiatrist James M. Greenblatt, MD, has been treating patients since 1988. Dr. Greenblatt has lectured internationally on the scientific evidence for nutritional interventions in psychiatry and mental illness. He is the author of several books including Finally Focused: The Breakthrough Natural Treatment Plan for ADHD and Finally Hopeful. He is the founder of Psychiatry Redefined practice, and of Finally Living, a precision functional psychiatry clinic online for children and adults.  I hope you love this highly practical and thought-provoking show on depression - so important.  Alexx Stuart Your Host Fancy a few more podcasts we’ve done over the years, related to this one?

    472. What is safe? River, Ground, Tank and Ocean water and PFAS “Forever chemicals” with water scientist, Professor Ian Wright

    PFAS: Forever Chemicals. They’re everywhere. We’re worried. But it seems insurmountable to tackle. This week, we start to do just that with the first of two shows airing, to understand the situation, what we can do for our health, and how we can show up in the community to drive better policy and regulation against PFAS polluters.  Professor Ian Wright, a water scientist with 4 decades of experience, thinks it's time we all get involved in PFAS and advocate for change. Thanks to films like Dark Waters and How to Poison a Planet, awareness of PFAS and its effects is growing. Now it’s time for us to advocate more and stop polluters polluting for profit and just paying people off in courts.  In this show we discuss:   Different water types and levels found - Tank, Ground, Ocean, Damns and Fresh water.Emergency and military activities and how they impact PFAS levelsCommon ways we can at least minimise our personal risk everydayThe extent of the issue, largely being a repeated ‘kick down the road’ policy choice I hope you tune in and find this show helpful for understanding this pervasive chemical and how we change things.  Alexx Stuart Your Host, Low Tox Life Want to learn more about this week’s guest?  Website: https://theconversation.com/profiles/ian-a-wright-5162  Thank you to this month’s show partners for joining us to help you make your low tox swaps!  50% off your first @zestinyfarmlife Box when you sign up to Compact, Classic or Bounty - Regenerative grown fruit and veg delivered to your door weekly or fortnightly.

    470. Worried about hair loss or balding? Sasha Lilford is here to help

    Hair loss can feel like a private crisis. It is often minimised, mislabelled, or treated as something you should simply accept as your fate.  In this episode, Sasha, a naturopath who entered the field through her own long and confronting hair loss journey, shares why hair loss is far more common than we realise, and why hope is not naive here. In this conversation, we explore: Why hair loss is still a taboo topic, and how deeply it can affect mental healthWhat happens when you do the internal health work, but your hair still does not properly recoverWhy some medication pathways can become lifelong choices, and why many people look for other optionsThe difference between male and female hair loss and what impacts both during various life stages and health events. The often overlooked piece: the scalp environment, and why “just adding nutrients” is not always enoughEarly signs people dismiss, and why acting sooner can change the pathWhy perimenopause can shift hormones in ways that surprise people, and what a supportive, preventative approach can look likeThe missing layer in many plans: nervous system load, chronic stress, gut health and bringing safety and joy back into the body Sasha also shares what she has seen in practice when her clients commit to a structured approach with consistency: 100% of people experience some degree of improvement within months. Results can look different for different people, especially depending on history, stress load, and timing but results are still results, right? If you have tried everything, this episode offers a possible new set of tools and ideas.  Alexx Stuart, Your Host.  Low Tox Life  Fancy a few more podcasts we’ve done over the years, related to this one?

    469. Exercise: Breaking down the barriers to a stronger, happier body, with Dr Wendy Chorny

    What if, in 45 minutes, you could feel a whole lot more positive about the role of exercise and movement in your life? You’re about to be “Wendied!” In this episode, Dr Wendy Chorny, physical therapist and researcher, joins us to rethink movement through all stages of life. We explore the invisible barriers we carry, from comparison culture and perfectionism to fatigue, pain, and the mental load of caring for everyone else first.  Together, we unpack: Why “all or nothing” thinking quietly sabotages consistencyHow social media shapes unrealistic expectations of what exercise should look likeThe difference between pain that needs attention and discomfort that simply needs movementWhy post-partum and menopause can feel like your body has suddenly changed the rulesHow gadgets and tech can be helpful but you don’t ‘need’ them either. How small, flexible habits may matter more than structured programsWendy also shares how she works with women in the clinic to rebuild confidence, adapt to new seasons of life, and move in ways that feel supportive rather than punishing. This conversation is a powerful reminder that strength is not about intensity or aesthetics. It is about agency, adaptability, and learning to work with your body instead of against it. I can’t wait to hear what you’re inspired to do after this show.  Alexx Stuart Your Host, Low Tox Life Podcast  Fancy a few more podcasts we’ve done over the years, related to this one?

    468. Business as a force for good: Dr Bronner’s relentless drive to prove it’s possible.

    What does it really take to build an ethical supply chain from the ground up? In this show, we learn from one of the very best. Note: Shows are never sponsored, ie companies paying us to appear on the show. An ad is an ad, and the show is the show. I’m publishing this because we all need to believe there are companies out there with mounting proof of concept that you can design for a better world through business.  In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Gero Leson, an accomplished physicist and environmental scientist who has worked for some of the biggest companies in the world and then met David Bronner, CEO of Dr Bronner’s. David implored him to join Dr Bronner’s in the early 2000’s, on a mission to build an ethical supply chain of the highest standards. We explore how one of the world’s most values-led companies approaches transparency, cross-cultural leadership and business ethics in practice - not just in marketing. Gero shares how Dr Bronner’s moved beyond buying ingredients on the open market, moved beyond labels and just ‘trusting it was fine because it sounds good’. They’ve built companies that farm and produce the raw materials that they use for their famous soaps and other products, as well as selling the raw materials to other brands seeking a fully transparent and ethical, regenerative supply chain. They’ve done this in Sri Lanka, Ghana, India and beyond. From creating fair-trade supply chains where none had existed to the standard they wanted to uphold, to investing in regenerative agroforestry, community education and healthcare.  This is business as a vehicle for agency and dignity. We discuss: Why radical transparency is becoming the antidote to consumer distrustHow ethical sourcing is not about fixing one issue, but committing to long-term engagementThe power of leadership teams over heroic individual leadersWhy dignity and agency motivate teams more than rules and controlThe balance between efficiency and humanity in global businessThis conversation is not idealistic. It is grounded, complex and honest about the challenges. But it is also deeply hopeful. Gero says, “We joke about saving the world with soap but in a way, it’s true”.  If you have ever wondered whether business can truly be a force for good, this episode offers real-world proof that it can - when values are embedded at every level.

    467. 25% of women experience domestic violence: Patricia Gordon Stevens helps us be helpers and hold hope.

    This podcast discusses domestic violence. Sit this one out if you need to  Many of us are enraged, shocked, and paralysed by the unfolding information from the JE files. Many of us are also dismayed at the continuing epidemic of domestic violence and murder-by-partner. What do we do? How can we help change things? We can learn how to be an ally in our own communities and circles better. Outrage and sadness must be used as springboards for action, I truly believe it.  I’m joined by counsellor and author Patricia Gordon Stevens to talk about domestic and partner violence — a subject too often minimised, despite affecting 25% of women in some of the world’s wealthiest countries. We explore why silence and discomfort only deepen the harm, and why education, community, and care matter so deeply. In this conversation, we cover: Why the moment a woman chooses to leave is often the most dangerous timeHow coercive control can appear long before physical violence doesThe subtle red flags friends, families, and colleagues can look forHow to ask caring, non-judgmental questions that keep the connection openWhy Patricia chose fiction (Madness in Memphis) to build empathy that leads to actionThe role men can play in calling out harmful behaviour and changing culture locally This episode is confronting, but it’s also hopeful. Change doesn’t start with grand gestures — it starts with noticing, staying connected, and showing up for the women in our lives. I hope you find it useful and helpful as I did,  Alexx, your host.  Fancy a few more podcasts we’ve done over the years, related to this one?
