Covering everything from low tox shampoo tricky ‘finding’ factor, through to low tox freak outs when it’s a situation you can’t control, how to cultivate agency in a high tox world, and then questions about histamine, mould, paint, kids and tech and referencing a bunch of helpful resources, past shows and experts to connect to the work of, if you want to dig deeper along the way. 

I learned many things on my journey going low tox but boy have I learnt SO MUCH from interviewing 500+ incredible people on the podcast and through our courses over the years.

I hope you find this helpful,

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.

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.

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 levels
• Common ways we can at least minimise our personal risk everyday
• The 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.

This week, we go deeper into understanding just how ‘high tech’ the free, basic and accessible hacks are to our health. 

Dr Catherine Clinton, ND, is a naturopathic physician, researcher and founder of the Quantum Biology Health Institute. Her work helps people understand health through the lens of quantum biology, focusing on the roles of light, water and environment.

After listening to this episode, you will walk away knowing:

• Why hydration is about so much more than drinking water and how your body uses structured, electrically charged water for energy and healing
• How to use light, movement and nature to support your cells, reduce inflammation and boost resilience
• Simple, daily habits that help you tap into your body’s innate intelligence for lasting health

This conversation is for anyone ready to move beyond quick fixes and always reaching for thre ‘latest coolest health tech’ or worse - feeling bad that you can’t afford to - and instead, we explore the science of true vitality by prioritising basics in specific ways to optimise. 

Enjoy,

Alexx, Your Host.

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 health
• What happens when you do the internal health work, but your hair still does not properly recover
• Why some medication pathways can become lifelong choices, and why many people look for other options
• The 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 enough
• Early signs people dismiss, and why acting sooner can change the path
• Why perimenopause can shift hormones in ways that surprise people, and what a supportive, preventative approach can look like
• The 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.

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 consistency
• How social media shapes unrealistic expectations of what exercise should look like
• The difference between pain that needs attention and discomfort that simply needs movement
• Why post-partum and menopause can feel like your body has suddenly changed the rules
• How gadgets and tech can be helpful but you don’t ‘need’ them either. 
• How small, flexible habits may matter more than structured programs

Wendy 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.

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 distrust
• How ethical sourcing is not about fixing one issue, but committing to long-term engagement
• The power of leadership teams over heroic individual leaders
• Why dignity and agency motivate teams more than rules and control
• The balance between efficiency and humanity in global business
• 
  

This 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.

Enjoy the show,

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 time
• How coercive control can appear long before physical violence does
• The subtle red flags friends, families, and colleagues can look for
• How to ask caring, non-judgmental questions that keep the connection open
• Why Patricia chose fiction (Madness in Memphis) to build empathy that leads to action
• The 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,

What if better health were not an “added” thing to do, but a more strategic approach to the way we do it?”

This week, I am chatting with Dr John La Puma, a medical doctor and trained chef, about the “Indoor Epidemic”, a topic he is bringing to life through his upcoming 8th book.

John shares why most of us are indoors for about 93% of our time, and how repurposing just two to five hours a week of the time you already spend outside can shift sleep, stress, mood, focus and even appetite signals. 

Now, most of us ‘know’ that lots of indoor time and artificially lit environments are bad for our health, or we’ve seen the alarming stats on a reel or research quote, but the action and change part? That’s often harder and this show is here to change that. 

We cover simple ideas you can try right away and break down a daily, monthly, and annual framework to achieve incredible health results. 

The way we use our outdoor time more strategically will show us gains in sleep quality, focus, blood pressure and inflammation. 

If you feel tired, wired, or stuck on screens, this episode is a warm nudge to change up your outdoor time for the better and feel more like you.

Pre-order John’s new book - I’ve loved it. So easy and extremely empowering for anyone who finds the habits you ‘know’ are better, but yet you can’t quite seem to get things going. 

Enjoy the show,

I am joined by author Jodi Wilson, who wrote her new book “A Brain That Breathes” after years of writing, parenting, and pushing through burnout. Jodi noticed something big - modern life asks too much from our brains. We are always reachable, always scrolling, and always deciding. No wonder we feel foggy, edgy, and done.

Jodi shares a powerful idea: we do not always need more tools or more “self-care and it definitely does not need to ‘cost us more’ to practise it.” We often need subtraction. She calls it breathing space - small moments of downtime that help your nervous system settle and help your brain declutter.

You will hear about “soft fascination,” a science-backed reset that happens when your attention is gently held by simple things - a walk without headphones, the ocean, trees, clouds, shower water, or bubbles in the sink. In these moments, your brain gets space to sort thoughts, ease stress, and untangle stuck ideas. Jodi also shares easy ways to protect your mornings, create a calmer evening routine, and use a deep sigh as a fast reset.

This is not about fixing yourself. It is about coming home to what you need today - and choosing what is enough.

I hope you love it as much as I love that this is out in the world for you, 

Alexx Stuart, your host x

Enter our first show of 2026 to help usher a new chapter in literally feeling the feels.

Dr. Jenn Rapkin is a naturopathic doctor who helps people reconnect with their feelings through body-based care. In this episode, we talk about why many of us learned to "push through" emotions - and what that can cost our health. Jenn shares simple ways to notice feelings in the body (like "hard bubbles" in the chest) and why emotions come in waves. You'll learn gentle steps to build emotional strength, without forcing anything. Jenn also explains when it's best to get professional support, especially if trauma is part of your story. This is a kind, practical chat for real life.

With over 25 years of hands-on experience across North America, Australasia and globally, Nicole helps farmers, land stewards and businesses rebuild ecosystems from the ground up - literally.

My favourite aspect of Nicole’s genius, is her dot connection and analogies that can engage anyone from anywhere to care deeply for soil and understand why soil health is not just an agricultural concern but a planetary and human-health imperative - there’s no confusion: We must come together, and we must act now to turn the health of soil around to be able to turn our health around, too. 

We explore what’s happening beneath our feet: the microbial networks, chemical dialogues and nutrient pathways that determine the resilience of entire landscapes, food systems, and ultimately our own bodies.

Despite the weight of global environmental challenges, Nicole leaves us with a grounded sense of possibility. Her work demonstrates that nature is astonishingly responsive when we create the conditions for recovery - and that regeneration often begins with surprisingly small, accessible shifts.

Whether you’re a farmer, a gardener, a policy-maker or simply someone who eats food and wants a livable planet, this episode offers inspiration, tangible insights, and a renewed sense of agency in a time when many feel helpless.

Enjoy the show, 

Alexx Stuart,

Are you in a ‘thats woo woo’ camp? 

Are you sold and sworn by it? 

Do you dabble somewhere between those where you’ve found it interesting and even useful at times, but when it comes to putting things in practice confidently and knowing what you can own, vs when you need a practitioner? 

Well, by the end of this hour of power you will definitely feel more clear and capable of taking the reigns on your health. 

Marcus Fernandez is a 30+ year homeopath, founder of the UK’s biggest homeopathy school - The Centre for Homeopathic Education - and all round great teacher to help you build your confidence in remedy choosing and usage for you and your family. 

He emphasises that the body knows how to heal when given the right tools, combining curiosity, compassion, and wisdom to make natural health both practical and deeply human.

Loved this conversation, the empowerment that came from it + hope you do too!

Well for the better world we want and more prosperous, healthy communities we want to be, this week gives you exactly that sense of optimism that it’s possible to build. 

“Serenbe” just outside of Atlanta, Georgia, was an idea that instead of ‘urban sprawl’ with endless streets of concrete, houses and lawns, towns could be built to preserve 70% agriculture/green spaces while also bringing in the best of what connected us to each other in cities, through healthy commerce, arts, sports and education.

I first brought Steve Nygren’s Serenbe story to the Show #143 7 years ago - a very worthwhile listen for the full backstory of how it came to be. 

Now, 20+ years on, Steve is on a legacy mission to ensure people feel that change is possible if you do this one thing: 

START IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD. He speaks and consults globally on healthy land development for people and planet, and now has a book in hand to inspire millions.  

Steve helps people model beneficial ways to both preserve and develop land by focusing on the 12 Biophilic Development Principles that are implemented in the Serenbe community.

If you find yourself often consumed and feeling hopeless by what’s going on ‘out there,’ come spend an hour with us to focus on your power, your agency and your influence right where you are. 

I hope you’re as inspired by Steve’s message as I have been since coming across his story.

It’s packed with practical support you can implement from today, as well as speak to your practitioner more confidently about.

Kath McFarlane’s first career was on the chaotic trading floor of the stock market as an investment banker… until she felt she felt naturopathy was a better fit, with a focus on helping people uncover the underlying drivers of their complex health challenges and supporting wellness through evidence-informed, natural approaches. 

Practising for nearly 20 years, she’s helped people through all ages, stages and challenges, and today we talk HEARTS. 

The kind of blood you do NOT want to have and what to do

Women’s and men’s heart disease patterns: differences and best places to focus

What’s happening 2 decades before you end up in ER

Why baseline scans in your early 40s matter (and why worrying about radiation from the scan is the wrong focus!) 

What you can do to repair minor disease processes and what to talk to your practitioner about

Dietary approaches that are proven for heart health

Gut health - of course! 

Stress - there it is!

So practical. So proactive. Join us and improve your heart health today

Enjoy and share the show

The stats show us that men’s concern for their health tends to be a case of “I’m fine… I’m invincible… crisis…ok I guess something has to change”. But what if we could focus on the most important things to have a prevention strategy in place? 

Gerald Quigley is back on the show, with a 40+ year career as both a pharmacist and master herbalist, to help men feel clear on what matters in a prevent strategy including: 

What you need to test and how often

What lifestyle levers tend to be the most important ones

How to understand results and what to do about them

What issues tend to overwhelm or worry men to the point of avoidance

How to worry less 

I hope you find it useful and share with the men in your life! 

Gerald has a wonderful easy going approach to empowering people into action rather than scaring us into paralysis.

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.

Nope. You need this week’s show if those thoughts have been creeping in!

Enter Dr Jocelyn Wittstein, M.D., an associate professor of orthopaedic surgery at Duke University School of Medicine. She has been in practice since 2010 and is fellowship trained in sports medicine. She’s a clinician researcher with NIH funded research in ACL injury, sex differences in ACL injury, and cartilage health and she also studies the intersection of women's health and musculoskeletal health. I grilled her for as much as we could get through in an hour for us. 

We unpack:

 🦴 The big players behind musculoskeletal pain and degeneration

 💥 How to prevent issues before they start - osteoperosis & arthritis are NOT inevitable

 💫 How to heal and rebuild when things go wrong

She’s one of the key voices revealing the estrogen–frozen shoulder connection and pioneering better musculoskeletal care for women through sports, midlife and beyond.

It’s one hour that could change how you move — and how you age.

Tune in and share it with every woman and girl you know so we can change the story! 🎧

Enjoy the show,

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,

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.

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.

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

We unpack: 

• Iron - when it’s a friend, foe and how to get into a ‘healthier relationship with it’. 
• Why your body might think it needs to protect you from iron 
• Understanding inflammation to understand your iron challenges better
• Iron as it travels through the digestive tract - a deep dive into all that has to be ‘just right’ for iron levels and absorption to be healthy. 
• Microbiome factors when it comes to healthy iron absorption
• Why we need a lot more research on iron and women’s heatlh
• Why iron supplementation shouldn’t be your first “go to fix” when it comes to iron deficiency
• What you can do to further investigate your iron beyond iron studies blood tests. 
• How to move forward in your diet and health focuses to maintain healthy iron levels. 

And we explore all of this with Rebecca Edwards, Director of Education at Activated Probiotics. With over 2 decades of naturopathic clinical experience, Rebecca educates clinicians globally in all areas of naturopathy, with a special passion for iron absorption, given the many factors that play into it - so luck to have Rebecca to help us dive further into the fascinating topic of IRON. 

Note: This episode is in no way funded by or influenced by the company Rebecca works for. You can trust that I will never allow for a paid guest spot. Rebecca is an exceptional educator, and our community had more questions on Iron and she was the perfect person. 

On our podcast you can be sure that ads are ads, and show guests are guests because of their subject matter, not because of what they sell. 

Enjoy the show and share it with someone who needs support with their iron,

Dr Kathryn Ford has been working with couples to grow together for over 2 decades to do just that, and in this week’s show you will learn: 

• Why having a vision of yourselves as a couple is important
• How becoming a couple is something that you LEARN how to do
• What a healthy response looks like vs a reaction
• How to argue better - because arguments will happen
• How to be aware of each other’s ‘aperture’
• Whether we can ‘change’

And so much more! 

Kathryn is a wonderful couples therapist of over two decades, and it’s a joy to have her on the show to share her practical wisdom. 

Her Aperture Awareness method is also now in a published book, “The Aperture Effect”, and I’ve popped the link in the bio if you fancy reading it - I have. It’s excellent.

Lawson and Laura from Margaret River Organic Farm in Western Australia embarked on a mission to relocalise the food system, rehab the land they farmed to be in peak condition, restore biodiversity, and build a thriving farm - plenty of insights, tips, and tricks shared. 

I love featuring regenerative farmers from a range of methods and locations around the world because eaters get inspired to prioritise food over “excess things” and support the farmers who prioritise plant and animal health, biodiversity, minimised synthetic inputs and nutritious food produced. 

Enjoy, share and support your farmers however you can do so: Could you cut out a middle-person or two in your food supply chain with a couple of items, even, just to get started? Challenge issued!

What if eating a particular type of red meat - even just a couple of times per year - made a huge amount of environmental, economic and nutritional sense?

Well, if you have an invasive species deer problem, like Australia does at the moment, then it makes a great deal of sense. 

After this show, you will know: 

• Why Invasive species are destructive to environments and farms 
• How big the opportunity is if eaters increase their consumption of venison and if Australia markets it for export. 
• Why real change is going to happen by first focusing on YUMMY FOOD and accessible messaging for people - meat pies, sausage rolls and dim sum! 
• What different countries are doing to address invasive species
• How we can all be a part of the solution! 

You’re left wondering: WHY have we let it get so bad without any serious investment - especially when we stand to gain economically as a country if we do, like Maui and NZ have?

AND WHY NOT send some serious investment dollars to the people setting up the processes and opportunities. Take 5 minutes to share this show and a note with your local representative - I sure as heck have! 

I’m so thrilled to have Tara Medina back on the show, who works in collaboration with wonderful chef and past guest also, Jo Barrett - I’m excited about the work they do at @discovered_foods 

Enjoy the show

• Growing the conversation of modern building “success” beyond energy efficiency
• How mold is prime for having its moment, following the footsteps of lead and asbestos before it. 
• How a brand new home can already be contaminated with mold
• How to better build and maintain home - material and climate considerations.

Chances are, like many, you see a lot of injustice in the land of ‘food giants’ with corporate CEOs paid millions and large percentages of families skipping meals due to food insecurity: 

Is it hopeless? Will it all just get worse? 

It doesn’t have to. That’s why this podcast is here with you today. 

My guest, Jon Steinman, author of "A Grocery Story: The Promise of Food Co-ops in the Age of Grocery Giants," and I discuss the history and evolution of the food system, with a particular focus on the rise of low-priced food culture and its societal implications (Did you know we used to spend 30% of our wages on food?). 

Steinman advocates for food co-ops of all shapes and sizes as a more equitable and resilient alternative to corporate-owned grocery giants, highlighting their community ownership, fair practices with suppliers, and positive contributions to local economies and well-being. The food prosperity economy. 

We explore the realities of the Grocery Giant downsides while painting a picture of all that can be - and in some cases IS and how you can have this in your community, too. 

I hope you love this conversation as much as I did

Tribe: Myths and misunderstandings

Safety in numbers? Well, for some, yes, for others, it can mean death. 

Happiness: If we get it for free, or chase someone else’s version? No good!

Motivation and reward: What is the ease of access to each other and technology doing here? 

So fascinating. It gave me a great deal to reflect on and challenged some of my previously held understandings. 

I hope you love the show and discuss it with a friend - or me on socials!

What’s brilliant about this program is that you come together with people from outside your medical field - neurosurgeons, Oncologists, Orthopaedic Surgeons, Cardiologists, Public Health PhDs, and general practitioners- to conduct, analyse, critique, and improve scientific literature. It was a tremendous honour to be accepted into and learn at this historic University.

We explore science in today’s show, both generally and as it relates to Lewis’s field of practice, dentistry. You’ll hear about:

• Bias and how we both form them and become more aware of them in our own lives as we explore topics
• Nuance - it’s all about who you are and what you need, and our system isn’t built for that
• The need to leave our black and white frameworks in medical practice, while also not throwing everything we know out the window
• The fine line between curiosity and analysis, and suspicion and mistrust
• Fluoride as an example - not always essential, not always ‘bad’ either if you consider all relevant factors in a ‘to fluoridate or not’ debate
• New frontiers in dental health
• What we know for sure helps us keep excellent oral health overall.

Enjoy the show. Alexx

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 few
• Arriving at consensus: How is this done? What is involved? Is there the right to question each other in the halls of Harvard?

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!

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!

Low Resilience when you know deep down you’ve usually ‘got this’? 

Anxiety? 

Thyroid problems? (especially conversion issues) 

On this week’s show, I invite back to the show, one of Australasia’s leading nutritional

Biochemists and 13 x best-selling authors, Dr Libby Weaver to discuss IRON and it is SUCH a helpful literacy-building conversation to help you: 

• Know what to ask for when testing
• Know what to do/explore when supplementing
• Know what to watch for as a parent with your kids and as a woman going through pregnancy and mid life transitions and how they affect iron
• Know how to apply dietary changes to ensure your iron is centre stage on the plate (all diets)
• Know what cofactors to consider for iron absorption and usage

Just. So. Darn. Useful and with a good side serving of Libby’s incredible knowledge, good vibes and desire to help you feel your best. 

Enjoy - share it with your friends. This is going to help a lot of people, I know,

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

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 type
• Genes
• Life stages and transitions
• Environmental 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.

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 vary
• What we know about resilience, immune systems and detoxification when it comes to sauna
• The difference in women’s age stage and cycle timing
• Temperature relevance in sauna therapy, depending on climate ‘norm’
• Health conditions improved with sauna in the research so far
• You can be part of sauna research: Answer this quick sauna survey to support Joy’s work

In this show we explore: 

• The collapse of a strong public health framework
• The infiltration of industry into public service
• The 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 fees
• What 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.

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 as
• Where it comes from biologically and environmentally
• Macro foods that are important for this group and why
• How can we be proactive when an infection hits or tick bite happens
• and more

So. 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! Alexx x

1. The ocean’s role as an absorber, filter and producer (think of our liver: Overloaded? Stops functioning effectively and all hell breaks loose!)
2. “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…
3. All that mould and humidity increasing in the past decades? Climate change. Meet “tropification” 🤯
4. Transitions and navigating a path forward. Is an ‘a-political approach’ possible?

I hope soon that instead of arguing if it’s real or not, we debate instead the best ways forward and make climate a-political, and for gosh sake, stop vilifying cows and revering plants as ‘evil vs good’. WASTE and ultra-processed food trumps any whole food you could ever pile on your plate regarding climate impact. I know many people feel conflicted because of the climate conversation being made to ‘be’ a certain way. It doesn’t have to be but it also doesn’t mean we need to choose the ‘it’s a hoax’ either.

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 it
• Thought - 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.

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 life
• How 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.

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 more

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! 
• How ‘we’re all energy’ isn’t woo woo - energy is just another word for electricity and we are all electrical beings.
• Tuning into what your body needs and when - an individual seasonal approach. 
• How a simple assessment can give us a blueprint for how to move forward. 

I hope you love this show as much as I did & you can preorder Michelle’s book here

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 asylum
• How our terrain matters and why it took so long to understand it better. 
• How you can trace different addictions to different microbiome populations/overgrowth
• How “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,

“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. Alexx

Charles 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.

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. Well worth a read!  I hope you love this week’s show.

• Accessible
• Nutritious
• Good quality
• Good for the planet in the farming methods used 
• Fair for the farmers - especially small holder farmers! 
• Culturally appropriate and respectful

I 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.

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 x

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 world
• Why we need to rethink ‘cost’ when it comes to the clothes we buy
• The magical opportunity to connect with nature on a deep level through our clothing choices
• Why 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. Enjoy meeting him and go check out Let them be Naked, the Film, here.

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. 

See you online to talk about it

Thank you for being with me these past 50 shows, as we’ve expanded into more Low Tox Mind and Life topics, both family and personal, with a view to supporting the whole picture of a healthy life, not just all the things that go wrong and how to fix them - which of course shall always be a part of it, but where our attention goes our energy flows and there is so much goodness and life to be lived - even when it can all feel like it’s falling apart at times.

I hope you enjoy this wonderful conversation with master coach Josselyne Herman-Saccio (SAY Joss-Lynn Herman SAHHCHEEO) who shows us the Art Of Being Unmessable with, no matter what life throws at you. She has spent over 30 years as an entrepreneur, author, coach, course leader and curriculum designer of transformative programs - was even in a pop girl band for a minute there with a No1 hit… What a story! Her mission is to empower people to live the life of their dreams now, versus someday and develop themselves to be “unmessable with” in the process.

I got so much out of it and felt it would be the perfect juju to end the year on - I hope you’ll agree! 

Enjoy the show and can’t wait to hear what you think, 

Alexx

A lot of fascinating things about the art and science of homeopathy, of course - as mysterious as it is clever, homeopathy can be and has been used for centuries, and is still used with pride of place in hospitals in India, and is a recognised form of medicine in several European countries and in the UK - a favourite of the British Royal Family’s!

Eugenie Kruger accepts my barrage of questions on: 

• When we can self-administer, vs when we should seek out a homeopath
• How homeopathic remedies are decided - the ‘proving’ method
• How different dilutions affect the effects of the remedies
• The role of homeopathy use alongside conventional treatments
• Homeopathics for detoxification
• Different potencies - how is it decided what potency you need? 
• How the remedies can support environmental factors illness and susceptibilities 
• What Eugenie thinks about all the ‘rules’ around usage ‘the when’s and the how’s and the don’ts’ you see online
•

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.

Often late November/early December have two energies battling it out in our brains: 

1. It’s the end of the year - I have so much I still want to/have to/must DO - gah… Go Go Go. 
2. I just want to slow down a lie on a beach, in a field or under a blanket and CHILL

So 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. 

Low Tox Love, 

Alexx
