Podcasts about low tox life

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!Other shows I've done with Dr Elisa Song:Immune Health in KidsThe Allergy Epidemic in KidsConnect with Dr Elisa:WebsiteInstagramThank 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/ShopAusclimateJoin me on InstagramWant to support the Low Tox Life podcast?Free option: Leave a 5 star review wherever you listen to Low Tox Life - thanks SO much!Paid + Member PERKS: Join the Low Tox Club - packed with perks - Check it out and join here for just the price of a coffee per month!

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 xWant to learn more about this week's guest?

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. @leahhectman 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.

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?

We're back with a deeply personal and wildly fun Ask Me Anything episode. It's been a minute since I've done one of these, and I decided to shake things up by bringing in my favorite co-host—my wife Alyson.Together, we dig into questions submitted by listeners across our community, diving into everything from spiritual practice and daily rituals to detox tools, grief integration, non-toxic living, and the latest wellness tech that's blowing my mind.You'll hear me get vulnerable about the grieving process after my dad's passing, the trap of spiritual ego, and why love—not tech—is the greatest healing modality of all. We also nerd out over things like hydrogen inhalation, mushroom microdosing, red light gadgets, and the best vitamin D hacks for biohackers. It's candid, curious, and packed with takeaways you can try in your own healing journey.Check out Alyson's Animal Power book and deck, plus free guided drumming shamanic journey to meet your power animal: alysoncharles.com/animalpowerDISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

Over the past 2 decades, Gardiner Harris has been covering and collecting data on Johnson&Johnson. Now, as an independent and award-winning investigative journalist, he releases the fruits of 2 decades of research, interviews, analysis and findings in No More Tears: The dark secrets of Johnson & Johnson exposed. In this show we explore: The collapse of a strong public health frameworkThe infiltration of industry into public serviceThe specific ways in which Johnson&Johnson has caused millions harm over decades across a number of their products. The opioid crisis, hip replacements, vaginal mesh, anemia drug EPO in cancer patients and antipsycholotics in aged care and more… The way J&J can stay afloat despite all of the damages and legal feesWhat hope we have of restoring faith in health care? What you and I can do to ensure at the grass roots we are building a better system.It's a doozy, I'm not going to lie, but it's important work and Gardiner has done some extraordinary work to bring this story to light.

One day your child is their “healthy normal” self, and the next day they're radically changed, displaying neuropsychiatric symptoms that can scare and bewilder the child, their families and carers/teachers. The heartbreaking thing is it can take months if not years, to find a doctor who can identify and start treating the cause of this sudden change.Enter Dr Nancy O'Hara. We look at PANS/PANDAS and the genetic, environmental and incidence-based reasons something sudden like this can happen to a child and most importantly, how we can do 2 things. Firstly, mitigate risk by being more literate in causal factors and knowing how to proactively support children's health and resilience. Secondly, know how to spot the changes in kids - some subtle and some severe, so that you can start treating and healing the child soon and avoid being bounced around to a few doctors and practitioners before they get the support and treatment they need.We cover:What PANS/PANDAS can present asWhere it comes from biologically and environmentallyMacro foods that are important for this group and whyHow can we be proactive when an infection hits or tick bite happensand moreSo. Much. Good. Supportive information in this show. Enjoy + share with as many parents and carers that you can - if we all know more we can all do more!

What does the UK's best-known Dr, Rangan Chatterjee, want you to do? He want to help get you to a place in your health and intuition where you are the one who knows what's best for you. If you sometimes feel more confused about health than ever before? This is the show for you! Jumping from protocol to Instagram follow to book to podcast, we've never had more information on ‘health' than in the past decade. And we're sicker? Make it make sense. Part of it of course is a Western world erosion of middle and working class where stress has as pressure has risen, causing a myriad of health consequences, but the other part? Well, it's a lack of agency. Confused, disempowered and constantly looking ‘out there' for the answers (darn that addictive big-tech dopamine “drug baron”!) Dr Rangan Chaterjee believes we can move confidently forward with curiosity, listen for feedback, sometimes test and be proactive with change where needed. We talk Diet confusionThe power of reflectionKnowledge ain't all that if we aren't getting better! A Blood Sugar storyRed Flags in testing - spotting subtle changes rather than waiting for alarm bells and fire extinguishers. Dr Rangan Chaterjee is one of the best-recognised doctors in the world, with a podcast with over 200million downloads, a TV show “Doctor in the House” that has reached 70 countries and seen people achieve miraculous health improvements, a Professor, an author of 6 books and umpteen times on the UK Times best seller list.Want to learn more about this week's guest?

What Matthew England, a “Scientia” Professor at UNSW (a renowned globally as the top expert because of his research and contributions to the subject) didn't know would happen when he chose his field of study, Oceanography in the 80s, would be that he and his colleagues would quickly become climate scientists. In this week's show, we discuss:The ocean's role as an absorber, filter and producer (think of our liver: Overloaded? Stops functioning effectively and all hell breaks loose!)“But it's just a natural cycle” - a popular phrase often touted and how we can better understand why the picture today is not normal…All that mould and humidity increasing in the past decades? Climate change. Meet “tropification”

What is your understanding of “Intuition? Do you feel yours is fine tuned? Well, it turns out what we ‘think' is our intuition is often instead our:Instinct - which comes from fear and keeping us ‘safe'Bias influenced by multiple layers of external conditioning Suspicion - seeking the pleasure or assuredness of confirmed bias until we find itThought - Rationalisation based on what we rationally know rather than what we intuitively know.Lately in my own self awareness I've been exploring all of these subtly different things that we can confuse with intuition and I found myself asking: Is the cost of ignoring it as great as the power of using it?Enter another new favourite human: Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir. Hrund is an Icelandic thought leader, author, filmmaker, entrepreneur, and TED/keynote speaker. She is remodelling our understanding of intuition, through the Icelandic concept of InnSæi. She helps individuals and organisations rethink and reshape their relationship with change, uncertainty, and intuition, bringing together some of the world's foremost research and practices on the fundamental role intuition plays for our intelligence and in our lives. She is the author of InnSæi the book. Co-director and script writer of the documentary InnSæi: The Power of Intuition, shown on Netflix worldwide.

Who doesn't want a better quality of life for longer, right? This week, we're talking about oxidative stress and the role of Glutathione: How we get pushed, slowly, slowly out of homeostasis in our first 3 decades of lifeHow the disease/medication cycle is inadequate and we need to focus on homeostasis recalibration to heal, not just manage disease. How a dietary focus on cysteine is the most accessible antioxidant move we all have access to. How glutathione delivery is often not worth the many forms it comes in in supplements. How getting the research right led to some incredible results - especially for his Dad! Great ep for the peeps struggling to heal, feel that homeostasis magic or who love the nerdier health topics exploring the latest research. Pharmacist Dr Nayan Patel, who felt that after his top university education landed him in the business of maintaining people's disease conditions (while acknowledging it was of course often life saving), wasn't happy with ‘sickness management' and went on to specialising in compounding medicines and supplements working with doctors. He then began researching oxidative stress and extending health span, rather than just life span, which was the start of @aurowellness. He recently published his first comprehensive book, The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging & Increase Energy. Want to learn more about this week's guest?

On this week's show… Something like “being tough on immigration” can so easily become political capital, and, of course no one wants unfettered streams of people, unchecked, moving through one's country's borders. But what happens, when a hard-line policy ignores nuance, ignores affected industries and is also hard on human rights while implementing policy? Enter this week's show guest, Brian Reisinger, author of Land Rich Cash Poor, from a multi-generation farm, a journalist, author and ex White House agricultural policy adviser, who works on building bipartisan support for improving the lives of farmers and the stability of the food system - from access to consumer pricing. We need to think more profoundly and go wider in our search to understand a subject, garnering more perspectives on issues before we ‘know them'. Big tech profits from polarisation and sensationalisation. I feel lucky to bring these considered, intelligent deep dives to the show with experts who can explore all aspects of an issue - not just what they want to promote or politicise. So we talk about: How the farm seems to have been the way of the past, not the future and how that feels for small and medium farms (across the world)How the evaporation of the middle class promise affects city and rural people TOGETHER - not as adversaries. How immigration policy affects small/medium farms and policy often fails farms. and much moreWant to learn more about this week's guest?

We don't naturally think when we have recurrent sinusitis or cognitive decline: “Well I guess I should book with the dentist!” Right? Well, today's guest Dr. Michelle Jorgensen who is a dentist, naturopath, author and speaker,. says, you might want to make that dentist appointment!As she's seen as both a dentist and a naturopath, oftentimes what's happening in the body can originate from dental work that's been done in the mouth - common procedures millions of us have had.I was blown away by some of the examples she shared in this show. Once Michelle's eyes were opened, she decided to study beyond dentistry and dive deep into the history of health cultivation from around the world to design a blueprint to get her own health back on track and help her patients and now people around the world do the same. In this show you'll grow confidence in: How our mouth is a dashboard for the body and how to ask for investigations to see if what ails you is connected to past dental procedures you might have had. How we now have the technology to find hidden mouth infections that can lead to rapid health improvements - the Chronic fatigue example blew me away!

The Gut-Brain Paradox is Dr Steven Gundry's latest book, now available for pre-order. People know Dr Gundry as ‘the guy who told us plants were evil foods' but have they read his books, I wonder? The key to enjoying the wide variety of foods we must enjoy to have a healthy, diverse microbiome that promotes overall health, is to have a robust and diverse terrain - it's a positive feedback loop we must create, and when we don't? A whole host of issues can occur that eventually lead to a whole host of diseases and diagnoses. We cover a LOT of ground on the show this week: Why the doctor he dedicated his book to, was beaten to death in an asylumHow our terrain matters and why it took so long to understand it better. How you can trace different addictions to different microbiome populations/overgrowthHow “plants don't kill you” much as many social media accounts might try to tell you - BUT… you have to have what it takes to enjoy and process them.The difference between protein sources The label that Dr Gundry's been given and is puzzled by “the father of carnivore diets”. The miracles Dr Gundry sees every day in medical practice, as he helps heal people's terrain - heal the terrain, heal many, many different illnesses, in so many cases. And, believe it or not, we cover even more than that list!Enjoy the show, Your Host, Alexx Stuart, Founder, LOW TOX LIFESteven Gundry, MD, is the director of the International Heart and Lung Institute in Palm Springs, California, and the founder and director of the Center for Restorative Medicine in Palm Springs and Santa Barbara.

How can 20 years of fraudulent science pass? It's complicated. It's not just vested interests but humans, desire, ego, hope and poor checks and balances. “Doctored”, the new book by investigative science journalist Charles Piller, is an arresting deep dive into how Alzheimer's disease treatment has been set back by corrupt researchers, negligent regulators, and the profit motives of companies for the past nearly 20 years. I genuinely believe it's one of the most important conversations I've hosted on the show, in a time where many have become blanket skeptics of science - while we explore this hectically fraudulent research: I asked Charles: Is there hope for us to ever believe again in the scientific method? He walks us through his investigative process after the initial tip off, how he gathered information that was robust enough to draw a conclusion, and then how, despite uncovering this research and nearly 20 years of fraudulent claims, he maintains hope and a lot of trust in the scientific method. I hope you find the show as powerful as I did and it doesn't feel too heartbreaking but rather more like we are finally now closer to knowing how we can make progress by carving a new chapter in Alzheimer's research for cause and cure. AlexxCharles Piller is an investigative journalist for Science magazine and his work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, the Sacramento Bee, and more. Piller has been honored with many national journalism awards, and is the author of Gene Wars, The Fail-Safe Society, and Doctored. He has reported on public health, biological warfare, infectious disease outbreaks, and other topics from the United States, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Central America.Check out Charle's latest book Doctored here.

When I started low tox life, for years I'd get excited when, say, Campbell's soup or Hershey's would announce they were banning GMOs from their products… or when M&M's announced they'd stop using petroleum based colours. “We're winning” - but were we? In recent years I'm way less excited when mega corporations change their recipes to be better - even though it is still a good thing - it's not a slightly better ingredient list on an ultra processed ‘gluten free' cheesy puff that's going to make us healthier and our planet more resilient. Nope. What excites me is food systems change - less sexy, less algorithm eye-catching and way more complex/multi-faceted It also requires YOU and ME to do the majority of the work for that change. It's more regenerative, healthy farming methods, family farming, small-holder support, localised food, access to cultural/ecologically sound foods that is going to radically change both planet and people's health. And so… it's why I find wonderful farmers and authors like @stephanieandersonwriting who tell farmer stories and explore systems change, to bring powerful conversations to the show for us to think about what really matters most. My conversation companion for this week's show is Stephanie Anderson, acclaimed author and social justice journalist. With a background in creative nonfiction, a deep understanding of regenerative agriculture, and years of exploring the intersections of equity and sustainability, Stephanie brings a fresh and thought-provoking perspective to the critical issues shaping our future with her first book “One size fits NONE” and new book, From the Ground Up: The Women Revolutionizing Regenerative Agriculture (The New Press, 2024). It's a powerful exploration of the women who are leading a transformative movement in agriculture, reshaping systems and inspiring hope in the face of environmental and societal challenges.

We know that toxins can be harmful to our health, but do you know where they're hidden? They can be found in common products like makeup, lotions, shampoos & conditioners, laundry products, household cleaners, and more! Why are they so harmful? These toxins can act as endocrine disruptors, aka they mess with our endocrine system which is responsible for our hormones. And they affect nearly every part of hormone processes! Toxins are everywhere nowadays. So much so, that it's almost impossible to avoid them completely. BUT, you can make a conscious effort to cut back, if you have the right info! In this episode I dive into common products with toxins and which ones you can switch to so you can start living a more low-tox life! ------------------------------------------------------ Find me on IG: jfaye_rd Work with me!

Food is a brilliant unifier across political divides, if we're brave enough to let it be. We all eat. And in this community, regardless of ‘diet type' we all want food to be: AccessibleNutritiousGood qualityGood for the planet in the farming methods used Fair for the farmers - especially small holder farmers! Culturally appropriate and respectfulI don't know if anyone else is sick of all the nit picking on socials about food and ‘which whole food does it better' for our health and the planet - when most people are wondering if they can stretch the budget for those blueberries or that mince this week, but I am. Tammi Jonas has led the charge for many years, in making things better across all of these aspects of a fair food system and we talk this week about how much we can all do to mobilise - taking that active ‘next step', to ensure a fairer food system is forged for all. She is an agroecologist in principle and in practice, farming heritage-breed pigs, cattle, and garlic with her bricoleur husband Stuart at Jonai Farms and Meatsmiths on the unceded lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung, where they share rent-free land with the young First and Second Nations market gardeners of Tumpinyeri Growers. Tammi is the focal point for farmers with the Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance (AFSA), advocating for everyone's right to participate in decisions about food and agriculture systems. In 2024, she completed a PhD on the rise of agroecology in Australia, and collectivising to deal with the problem of the state, as well as publishing a cookbook to help everyone Eat Like the Jonai.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@cleannectarine is giving you 20% off the beauty and personal care ranges with all orders over $99.

Erikas Schwarz, MD is the kind of doctor that once you've spoken with her, you want her to be yours - how ‘bout it, Erika? Gosh I loved meeting this woman, who fearlessly and thoughtfully guides her patients, calls out the medical establishment as cult-like and how we need to look bigger picture and get better reads on research before taking action with patients given it's people's lives and mental health at stake. Dr. Erika is a pioneer in the use of bio-identical hormones for preventing illness and recognizing their direct link to overall wellness and their interconnection with diet, sleep and stress management. She has authored eight best-selling books as well as numerous articles. Her focus on treating patients as a whole person began more than 30 years ago with her understanding that bio-identical hormone replacement is the safest, most effective path to increased health span and to achieve the highest quality of life.While this show is absolutely not about making statements that ‘everybody should take hormones' nor is that even the main focus of our conversation, it is about: Cultivating great patient/doctor relationships and empowering yourself more in your health journey.I hope you love discovering Dr Erika as much as I did and can't wait to hear what jumped out most for you, Alexx xWant to support the podcast?

Fashion - Despite what we've known for over a decade now, our fashion predicament is getting worse - petroleum-based colours and fabrics, faster and ‘cheaper' fashion than ever before and awful conditions for most garment workers internationally - and? Landfill from throwing it all away is getting dire. It's kind of hard to feel a sense of hope but Jeff Garner, fashion designer and founder of Prophetik (with Taylor Swift and Kinds of Leon among his clients!) is determined to give us that today - with this conversation and with his upcoming documentary, “Let them be Naked”. If you want to understand: Environmental Toxins in today's fashion worldWhy we need to rethink ‘cost' when it comes to the clothes we buyThe magical opportunity to connect with nature on a deep level through our clothing choicesWhy I wanted to take my T-Shirt off, despite it being made of organic linen, by the end of the show? Well, you'll just have to take a listen! Hope you love it as much as I enjoyed this conversation and yes, I feel a deeply renewed sense of agency and hope - Jeff is a treasure of a human.

There is so much outrage online and in communities these days - what can we do about it? How can we bridge divides, tackle polarisation and even deal with different ideas on a good life in families (like simply changing cleaning products or ditching processed food and everyone in your family thinking you're nuts, crunchy and woo woo!)Enter Dr Kurt Gray; a Professor in Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he directs the Deepest Beliefs Lab and the Center for the Science of Moral Understanding. He received his BSc from the University of Waterloo, and his PhD is Social Psychology from Harvard University. His research investigates how best to bridge political divides, and the causes and consequences of people's deepest beliefs, including morality and religion.We have a brilliant conversation about beliefs, outrage, the role the online world is playing, and how to get better at being less Outraged and starting to find where we overlap and can agree with one another - storytelling is the key to the path forward. I hope you will feel this speak to you as deeply it did, me, as a subject. I find it very hard to choose a camp because I know in my heart I don't fit in any of the so well defined camps we see in this polarised world. Anyone fancy joining me asw we venture forward working from our overlaps instead of forcing each other to pick sides and then dehumanise the ‘other'? The invite is open.

Ali Daddo and Mary Doube are on a mission to support women worldwide in feeling less alone and more empowered on their peri+menopausal journeys with their Aviiana platform. It's crazy to think that we weren't talking about this phase that 100% of women go through who live long enough, just a handful of years ago - in today's show when I mention I did a show on Perimenopause with Dr Carrie Jones a few years ago, Mary said “Wow how groundbreaking” - there was nothing 6 years ago online. I did that show because people in our community had begun to ask and talk about it. The topic has become a mainstay since then. Thank GOSH. GenX decided: Nope: Women will not suffer silently right when they need more support and more answers than ever. Capacity, mood, tolerance, ability… they can feel like they disappear overnight. Everything can feel like it hurts, bones can break, shoulders can freeze, ears can itch, your mouth can burn or taste metallic, periods can become heavier, lighter, disappear, come back, weight can p-ile on, depression can set in, anxiety can feel unbearable… and? Some women can breeze through seeming not to experience much.This show, is 3 women chatting very honestly about our experiences, sharing insights, and what's helping us through it. I hope for the mid-lifers and beyond in our community, it will provide a good “oh thank gosh it's not just me” as well as a good giggle at some of the shares. We also hope it provides a little kindling for you to decide that this could be an epic new chapter - minus the toxic positivity if you're in the thick of it.

This show, I share tips and ideas to make the month ahead feel less intense and we wrap up the calendar year. Often late November/early December have two energies battling it out in our brains: It's the end of the year - I have so much I still want to/have to/must DO - gah… Go Go Go. I just want to slow down a lie on a beach, in a field or under a blanket and CHILLSo this week, I talk Money Saving, Time Saving, Meaning-making and Joy bringing strategies for a happier end of year. Being real about what you can and want to do is the first step and from there: We design with intention from feasts, to gifts, to donations, to family and festivities. I hope you find it useful and would love you to also share your tips and ideas on socials + YouTube if you have great ideas.

“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.

Does food ever stress you out, for one reason or another? This week's show is here to help you relax and find joy in food and my guest is the wonderful Deanna Minich PhD.I've long followed Deanna's work in nutrition and the beautiful way she links it to the power of colour, body systems, energy centres and ancient wisdom.

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.

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.

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?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.

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/outsAnd 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.

As with all things, I believe in finding people who can help us navigate the nuanced way forward - is there a way our kids can healthily grow up in public? Devorah Heitner PhD has been asking this with curiosity both as a parent and a researcher and in today's show, we unpack exactly that question. Her book “Growing up in Public” is a must read so that we understand our kid's social dynamics today better, and so that we know where boundary and protection are required, as well as curiosity and patience. Kids are growing up more in public than ever. While we discuss meaningful ways that we can ensure they get to live childhoods more connected to each other than they are to their screens, I genuinely feel it's important to have a conversation about the world that exists and how best to navigate it, than to simply wish it weren't like it was and ban everything. The tech algorithms favour fear and outrage and so nuanced explorations on this topic are hard to find. Please help me amplify it. Dr. Heitner's work has appeared in the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and CNN Opinion. She has a Ph.D. in Media/Technology & Society from Northwestern University and has taught at DePaul and Northwestern. She is delighted to be raising her own teenager and she lives with her family in Chicagoland. Letting kids use phone during the school day? Bad idea. Using screens as babysitting to save on childcare costs? No judgement. It's complicated with multiple things at play as to how many families got there. Kids needing more places to hang and connect than home or shopping centre mall? HECK yes. I hope you find the show useful.

Show 400 - How did we get here!? Well, it took a few people to get this show to where it is today and I'll list them below because if you're reading this, you're one of them. In the show today, I've chosen 4 excerpts from past shows that weave together in funny ways, once I listened to them all in a row… 10 or so minutes from each of these deep-from-the-archive shows that are every bit as necessary and useful today, as they were when I first published them.1. Bruce Lipton - on breaking the programs we downloaded very young, and changing your energy to change your life. 2. Charles Eisenstein - on self love quests being perhaps the wrong tactic, yet self love being the key to being free of judgement of the ‘others' and carving a path to de-polarising our world. 3. Sage Magdalene - on the invitation nature gives us to have more reverence for the big things happening everyday around us that we don't notice, and yet if we did? 4. Jade Miles - on Future Steading and how we can apply the principle of living aligned with a world that has a future, from wherever we are and whatever we can do to restore balance in our lives. I hope you enjoy these excerpts and I encourage you if you remember listening to it ‘back then' to listen again.You, the listeners - no point making a podcast if no one shows up to listen!Our incredible guests across food, body, home, mind, family and environmental topics.

Did you feel like kids connected with kids and adults with adults regarding food? Separate times, separate tables, dumbed-down ‘fun' food? This week we are talking food and little people - Toddlers to be specific given the wonderful Luka from Book to Food has a new book available for pre-order and soon for real “Toddler to Table”. It is a stunner of a book but what I love most about the book and our conversation, as someone who spent years educating on family food in the earlier years of Low Tox Life is that we talked about: how people's backgrounds and childhoods affect our views on foodOur own experiences of shift work - two reformed Up-And-Go breakfast gals - true story and how conveniences needed re-teaching/re-defining.Luka explains why she'll never do a day on a plate and why it's easier for her to put a big focus on food in her life - LOVE THAT THIS CAME UP - Ever felt guilty following homemaker accounts, food accounts or zero-waste peeps? Remember they do it FULL TIME.Agency and choice within boundaries and a family food settingFood refusal - when to work on it as an ‘issue' vs not sweating the small stuff.The Family Table and coming together and the impact it has.And so much more - enjoy! And Toddler to Table is available for Preorder if you or someone in your life has a toddler - it is a STUNNER and about so much more than just recipes.

Being a teen is harder than ever before and it's showing in the stats and research. BUT, this is not about going down the fear road, nor is it all about crying “it's social media” as an over simplified solution. We also need to do a LOT more to diversify the ‘success' picture during school years, help them matter, feel the love and find themselves as they journey through individuation into adulthood. All while they huff at us, sometimes act out, show us rudeness and do things beyond our comprehension often - now is not the time to be offended, nor to come down hard.So what do we do as parents, carers, teachers and coaches?

This week we talk MILK with @fat_pig_farm Matthew Evans - the dairy kind, the plant kind and the many aspects to consider when considering either. Do you consume dairy products? Do you have issues with lactose, casein or both? Do you think plant milks are nutritious and planet-friendly? Do you think plant milk has a lighter footprint? Do you think Raw milk is safe? Dangerous? We go everywhere on the topic of milk and Matthew's research into the topic for his latest book, MILK, is thorough and revealing as well as appealing to the deep thinker and person who wants a truer food system. Matthew Evans is a Tasmanian food writer, television broadcaster and chef who lives and works on Fat Pig Farm, a soil-to-stomach regenerative farm and restaurant. He's been the host of six series of Gourmet Farmer and two documentaries on SBS TV. Matthew is the author of 15 books on food, including On Eating Meat, and his latest cookbook, the updated and revised The Real Food Companion. His book SOIL is a hymn to the remarkable, and underappreciated bit of Earth that gifts us life. His most recent book, MILK, unpacks the truth and lies behind the original superfood.Matthew's Website — https://fatpig.farm/ . His Books are also available on Amazon.com.Enjoy and let me know what you found most interesting about this exploration.

Are you frustrated with the medical system when it comes to chronic illness? Perhaps frustrated with the obvious hold industry has over public service institutions? What if you had the power to cultivate a level of safety for your system that helped you feel more well and resilient in today's world and less reliant on the system in the first place? Today we explore both of these with Dr Olivia Lesslar. Olivia and I discuss: There is a need for more nuance and deeper thinking in medicine today and in what the public takes to be ‘truth,' whether that be believing something is a silver bullet fix, ‘bad food', or ‘safe and effective medication'. We ALL need to think more. We look at the path from the research lab to product to clinician and how we can do better in that processWe look at how caring for patients has lost its way, so often reading for symptoms that match up with medication and not seeing the nuance or the opportunities to build a greater independence from needing external medication. We look at the conundrum for many: Complex illness requiring expert clinicians and cost often being prohibitive: Of course the doctors are worth it for all the study and experience they bring, but at the same time, often being a last resort, patients with chronic illness have limited funds. We look at safety signaling in the body and how we can cultivate a mindset of health by looking to the emerging and established evidence in neuro/immune connectionHow can I be less breakable and shakable? Working on that is one of the most powerful health cultivation focuses we can have. A powerFULL episode for all inspired towards a better model of healthcare, and a world with fewer people suffering chronic illness.

What a rite of passage should be: A powerful graduation into a new phase of life - something one grows into and is supported into during the transition. What they often are instead because we lack proper rites of passage?A piss up for your 18th or 21st with gloating about who got the drunkestA sexual encounter you might not feel ready for but ‘all your friends have' and you're X age now, so you feel you have to or should want to. Depression or anxiety because of a lack of support into a new chapter (adulthood, parenthood, elder life). As a couple of examples… This week, we talk about how long-standing community GP Dr Arne Rubinstein started noticing his patients were suffering all sorts of unhealthy situations in their lives. Many of them stemmed from a lack of solid grounding and really getting to ‘grow up' properly or enter new phases in life. They lacked recognition, transition, and community support. Arne founded the Rites of Passage Institute as a result and for 3 decades has now been taking groups around the world through programs to reintroduce this vital acknowledgement of growth and ceremony and honouring into our lives and the world is better for his work. I hope you love this conversation as much as I did hosting it. You won't leave without a thought or two very much provoked, that much I can promise you. Connect with Arne and his team's work at the Rites of Passage Institute to learn more.

This episode is dedicated to my mother, Mary Forton, as her birthday is this week and she would have been 94. She taught me as a young child in the '60s and '70s about organic food, avoiding processed and fast food, staying away from chemicals in cleaning supplies and personal care products and so many other tips on living a low-tox life.  Do you check the ingredient list of the products that you buy? In this episode, we delve into the hidden dangers of toxic chemicals lurking in your everyday household products. Discover why common cleaning supplies, laundry detergents, and personal care items could be contributing to serious health issues such as cancer, infertility, and hormonal imbalances. Learn about the importance of choosing fragrance-free and safer alternatives to detoxify your home environment effectively.  Additionally, we discuss practical steps you can take to reduce plastic use in your kitchen and the significance of maintaining good air quality. From using glass or stainless steel containers to investing in high-quality air purifiers, these changes can make a significant impact on your health and well-being.

Pop Quiz: How do you feel about aging? Do you feel bad about your age? Wish you were younger? Go to serious lengths to come across as younger? Did you turn 32 AGAIN this year? This week's show, @carlhonore invites us to stop buying into the cult of youth, and explore what the world might look like when we do. If you'd love nothing more than to change the way you view ageing, change the things you say about age, brush off the pressure to be ‘young' then join us. Words like vitality, energy, enthusiasm, vibrancy and ‘crushing it' don't belong to any age - they belong to the people who embody them at any age. Carl has always made us think through his books, and challenge how we think about and do things. In Praise of Slow, challenged Hustle Culture; his book “Bolder” in 2018 challenges us to rethink aging and the notion that at a certain point we should be put out to pasture. I know you'll love this chat. So good. Can't wait to hear what ahas come from it for you.
