Low Tox Life

I am thrilled to have author, researcher and lawyer Barbara Freese on the show this week lifting the lid on coal, radium, leaded petrol and more. As an assistant attorney general in Minnesota, Barbara Freese cross-examined witnesses for the coal industry who disputed the reality of climate change, pushing back as they denied facts that threatened their company's bottom line. She wrote her first bo...

Meet Monique Allen, the Founder & Creative Director of The Garden Continuum, an award-winning landscape design/build and fine gardening company. This week we unpack what it means to ‘life-scape' and why that's better than simply landscaping. We go through tips for newbies, ‘black thumbs', veggie gardening and layering your plant types to create greenspaces, balconies and gardens th...

This week on the show we have Dr John Gray, known for his “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” and the many books he's done since. If you didn't catch show #147, head back and have a listen to last year's show where we looked at hormone balance as key to a healthy relationship, how to get the balance right and what we can do to start communicating better. This show, we deep dive i...

In this interview, we discuss tween/teen periods - everything from conversa...

On this week's show, I interview design, engineering and construction powerhouse Teresa Coady, author of “Rebuilding Earth: Designing Eco-Conscious Habitats for Humans”. Teresa articulates so brilliantly how constructi...

I first came across Corrine Segura's work in a google search. It was 2016, I was in an inflammation cascade that seemed to bring me a new and bizarre symptom every day and I was searching for answers that doctors weren't able to give me at the time. I suspected our home was the major culprit with water leaks and issues over the years but it was only an inkling at that stage. Coming across work lik...

In this show, I talk about some of the things I've been finding and looking for as my family looks for a place to live.

Alan is a naturopathic physician with who shares the vulnerability of his own struggles with weight at a young age (read his full story in the show notes - what a tale!) and why that formed his passion for helping people feel themselves using all tools and research available. It's a great in...

Dr. Rabin received his MD in medicine and PhD in neuroscience from Albany Medical College and specialized in psychiatry with a distinction in research...

Have you ever had a health diagnosis or life event that floored you? Stripped you to your core? A cancer diagnosis isn't just a personal health crisis. It's a call to develop the unhealthy areas of your life into a more authentic wellbeing. Those are the words of Dr. Diva Nagula, this week's guest. Dr. Nagula is a physician who was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2014. By integrat...

Welcome to a week of focusing on all that we CAN do to for our health from TODAY while living in a time of pandemic. There are many public health trials and assessments being made ‘out there' but rather than waiting and being worried, why not actually remind ourselves of what lifestyle tweaks we can make and foods, herbs and supplements we can incorporate right now that help us be as strong...

I am excited to bring you this week's wonderful interview with one of my favourite Naturopathic Doctors. Dr. Ben Lynch is the best-selling author of Dirty Genes and President of Seeking Health, a company that helps educate both the public and health professionals on how to overcome genetic dysfunction. He received his doctorate in naturopathic medicine from Bastyr University. He lives in Seattle,...

Joining me for the 3rd time on the show, Dr Leila Masson, this time talking about heavy metal toxicity in children - but as she rightly points out, you want to ensure you don't have metal toxicity at any age, for as we get older, they are a risk factor in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's so it's by no means a show reserved for parents. Leila is a Sydney based speciali...

This is going to be a transformative show, in that case. Dr Jade Teta is an inspiring student of life, an author, and a naturopathic doctor. He's a teacher through and through in the wa...

In this week's show, the final show of our Low Tox Mind mini series, I speak to one of my favourite meditation teachers Tom Cronin, also an author and filmmaker of the recent film/book The Portal. Tom spent 26 years in finance markets as one of Sydney's leading bond and swap brokers. He discovered meditation in the early stages of his career, when the anxiety and chaos he was experiencing had hit...

It's hard to put into words the crux of what this show is all about because it's a way of thinking and being as new to me as it perhaps might be to you too. You're just going to have to trust me on this one that if you've experienced any discord in your life at all either through bad dreams, phobias or fighting with others or with yourself, it's a show that will offer many benefits to you. Have yo...

As our low tox mind mini-series continues on the show, this week Guy Lawrence is back.

What do you do when your bridesmaid ends their life? This week's show, Pippa Baker processed her grief, and moved through it to the point where she asked herself: What can I do to help people before they get to the point where they feel they've no other option?

He is the author of the groundbreaking book The Biology of Belief as well as Spontan...

Asha Evertsz, Naturopath, beauty therapist and dermal scientist knows her skin. After our interview last year there were still so many questions left to ask and so Asha is back.

See omnystudio.com/listener for pr...

In this week's show as a part of our health series, we're talking to Zhenya Gerson about poop - specifically in the context of colonics and enema, with a practitioner who has multiple top doctors referring to her here in Sydney. There's a lot of fear and stigma around using colonics, so I thought I'd get the low down - and yes, everything seems to have a double entendre right now! We talk about co...

This week's guest, Charles Eisenstein, always has me asking more questions than I had to start with. I honestly wanted to talk for many more hours.
