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.

    The power of seeds to future proof our food system. That’s what we’re looking at in this show.  If you’ve ever tasted an heirloom vegetable or fruit, you’ll know it.  Somehow more delicious, more intense in flavour, the power of the heirloom seed grown in healthy soil is something everyone deserves to connect with.   Ambre Whatley joins us - naturopath, herbalist and CEO of Eden Seeds Australia, to inspires us with: How easy it is to take part in seed saving and swapping How important it is to preserve heirloom seeds and their stories How our corporate food system benefits few in the longrun and what we can all do to fall in love with and defend the right to save seeds into the future. What some of the stories are behind some of Ambre’s favourite seeds - “The Mortgage lifter” the “Mostola Wild Goose Bean” and more.   Join us. It’s a good-for-the-soul, people and planet show for us all as we unite in our love of food and the right to nutrition, affordable healthy food for all.

    456. From African Herbal Medicine to Radical Self love and care for the modern superwoman: Dr Andrea Sullivan is our expert guide.

    “Why don’t you just go mix up those horsefeathers in your backroom or whatever it is you do” Andrea said to the naturopath after he suggested she become a naturopath. She laughed it off quickly that day, but here we are today, speaking with her, now 40 years into being a naturopathic physician.  Dr Andrea Sullivan is a phoenix who’s risen from more than one pile of ashes to be the wise sage joining us for this show.  We begin with a fascinating dive into African herbal medicine and the lengths the African people went to to secretly bring their plant medicines across to America when being brought over as slaves.  We then speak about how Andrea came to study naturopathy after being the first African American woman student at the University of Philadelphia to get her PhD in sociology and criminology, having to sit through lectures about how black people were more disposed to crime because of their ‘smaller brains’. Naturopathy was no easy feat by comparison, as a student, but she has now practiced for 40 years and counting.  We go on to explore pearls of wisdom from her second book, the Sacrifices of Superwomen, There is a common lived experience for women everywhere of often putting themselves last - sound familiar? Andrea’s strategies are simple, accessible and free from expensive interventions, protocols or supplements, that you can start today!  I hope you love the show as I loved recording with Andrea,  Alexx, your host.  Want to learn more about this week’s guest?  https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-andrea-sullivan/  https://www.youtube.com/@dr.andreasullivan5530  Thank you to this month’s show partners for joining us to help you make your low tox swaps! \ 15% off site-wide @blockbluelight_official with code LOWTOXLIFE to help you with your lighting, sleep, health and skin goals enhanced by the RIGHT light - If you haven’t tried a blue-light free evening, I genuinely recommend that you do.

    455. Marianne Williamson - Are you ready to be a spiritual athlete for our times?

    Marianne Williamson has been a force for good for decades.  The author of 16 books, 4 of which are New York Times best sellers, running for President, twice, thousands of events and countless free lives and blogs almost daily for her global audience…  She has also been a grass roots activist, from facilitating nearly 20 million meal services for palliative care patients and their families across LA, she co-founded The Peace Alliance in 2004, supporting the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace, and hosted The Sister Giant Conferences that introduced thousands of women to ways they could participate more effectively in the political process. Marianne asks of us to assess our spiritual fitness for these times.  Mean spiritedness and outrage Polarisation Othering and dehumanising Ideology and dogma over spirituality and common overlaps Environmental degradation Human rights erosion Big tech power and privacy encroachment in our daily lives A sense there’s nothing that can be done If you’re living in 2025, it’s a lot. And so, what can we do?  This show is to help inspire us to pick things and DO them.  I hope you find it useful and inspiring in your own life.  Alexx Stuart,  Your Host Want to learn more about Marianne Williamson?  Book a ticket for her upcoming Australian tour here: https://bit.ly/MarianneAUSTOUR Website: https://marianne.com/  Instagram or LinkedIn: https://www.instagram.com/MarianneWilliamson  Substack: MarianneWilliamson.Substack.com  Thank you to this month’s show partners for joining us to help you make your low tox swaps!  15% off site-wide @blockbluelight_official with code LOWTOXLIFE to help you with your lighting, sleep, health and skin goals enhanced by the RIGHT light - If you haven’t tried a blue-light free evening, I genuinely recommend that you do.

    454. Dr Katherine Willow - A new way to approach disease, healing and death

    Have you heard of German New Medicine? I was intrigued by a theory and practice shrouded in scandal and criticism. Why? Because it wasn’t disproven, and because some of the results are truly astounding. So I set out to find a practitioner who had a lot of experience with it but who also hadn’t abandoned other tools in clinical practice, diagnosis, treating and healing.  Enter Dr Katherine Willow for a conversation that will challenge and amaze and push the boundaries of what many of us think we understand.  This is not to say ‘ditch everything you know and go all in on German New Medicine, but it is to say what Katherine says: Identifying a shock to the time line as a contributing cause to something is most certainly valid. As is everything we also know to be true of the growing toxic burden of our modern world. It’s also to suggest that how we treat sickness and whether it ‘works’ to treat it, matters greatly on how safe and effective it feels to the patient, not just how ‘proven’ it is.  Fascinating. I’ve already re-listened to it myself.  I can’t wait to hear what you think.  Alexx Stuart,  Your Host Want to learn more about this week’s guest?  Website: www.ecowellness.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carpridge  Thank you to this month’s show partners for joining us to help you make your low tox swaps!  15% off site-wide @blockbluelight_official with code LOWTOXLIFE to help you with your lighting, sleep, health and skin goals enhanced by the RIGHT light - If you haven’t tried a blue-light free evening, I genuinely recommend that you do.

    453. Gerald Quigley - Immune support + bringing herbal and nutritional support into your day-to-day without fear.

    Why are we more susceptible to coming down with something like a cold or the flu at the turn of a season or change of humidity or temperature? And what really helps?  Gerald Quigley joins me on the podcast this week. He’s a 50+ year pharmacist, a 40+ year herbalist, Fellow of the Naturopaths and Herbalists Association of Australia and Fellow of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society. With a wealth of experience and having seen more than a trend or two come and go, Gerald shares the truest things that support you, as well as tackling some of the questions people often have about confusing things they learn/are trying to make sense of in health:  Is B6 really toxic?  Is Paracetamol truly that bad for us?  Do I need medication for arthritis and osteopenia when my doctor or the internet says XYZ? We discuss how to move forward towards better patient care and greater empowerment of people in our own inspiration for cultivating a healthy state. I hope you find it as interesting a conversation as I did,  Enjoy the show Alexx x Want to learn more about this week’s guest?  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerald-quigley-585a189/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/therealgeraldquigley  Thank you to this month’s show partners for joining us to help you make your low tox swaps!  15% off site-wide @blockbluelight_official with code LOWTOXLIFE to help you with your lighting, sleep, health and skin goals enhanced by the RIGHT light - If you haven’t tried a blue-light free evening, I genuinely recommend that you do.
