Low Tox Life

Whether you're a teen, parent of a teen or experiencing bouts of or chronic adult acne, this show is for you or for someone you can think of that needs it. Thanks in advance for forwardin...

Kate Johnston, Naturopath and nutritionist, takes us on a journey looking into supplementation. We look at sourcing, quality, packaging, additives and then also at the act of taking them in general: do we need them, how long to take them, how to feel empowered if you think you're being prescribed too many, what nutrients are best obtained by food, what situations require us to get added nutrients...

Do I have a show for you this week! Fan of exploring the gut microbiome? Did you know our nose, skin, mouth and vagina all have microbiomes too and healthy or not, they have impacts on our overall health? We look at not only gut but vaginal and nasal microbiomes as well this week with Australia's foremost probiotic expert Dr Jason Hawrelak - back for a second time and boy were there some mind blow...

It all started when my SYD-LAX companion in June, Nigel and I were talking about the frustrating state of affairs in recycling tech (I know right? Hit the plane-buddy jackpot!) and he mentioned the hope that lay in the work a colleague of his was doing at the University of New South Wales. We were introduced and the rest is history. What a privilege to be able to bring you this hopeful conversatio...

Enjoyed the new music for the show? It's a song “Birds” from Independent Australian Artist Melanie Horsnell from her 2005 Album “The Adventures Of” available along with her other fine albums over at melaniehorsnell.com (digital download for instant access!)  Have you heard of the many ways we should be consumed with guilt for wanting to interact with digital media - yo...

Have you ever tapped? Or perhaps you've seen tapping or heard about it and thought “what the heck is that gonna do for my problems”. Well, today's show guest is Dr Peta Stapleton and she's a big believer in the Science of Tapping (in fact that's the title of her book!). She calls it a part of the “Fourth Wave of psychology”.  She has 22 years experience as a registered...

In this week's show we talk about the enormous power we have in the way we invest our money: Ethical investing for the world we want to see! (This episode is not sponsored nor am I personally endorsing this exact investment fund as the one you should transfer to! It's simply a discussion about ethical investing, highlighting the great work one company is doing as an example) From today, what I hop...

What if that cellulite, or the big spider didn't have such a hold over you? What if you could realise that it's all just a bunch of stories we're making up? Behavioral plans, mindsets, hard work and willpower are NOT where deep, sustainable change comes from, says my guest Dr Amy Johnson who is known for her ability to help people create lasting change. Amy Johnson PhD is a psychologist, coach, au...

On this week's show you get to meet the filmmaker who brought us the wonderful 2040 film this year - Damon Gameau's follow up film to “That Sugar Film” in 2014 and it didn't disappoint. As Damon said “Once you clock the vastness of the climate crisis issue, what other issue is there?” He simply made the film he had to make as a human and a dad wanting his little girl's 2040...

Dr Elson Haas, one of the founders of the Integrative Medicine movement is my guest on today's podcast. What a treat! Something that has increased in need, while our environment and food has become more and more polluted is detoxification. Our biology was not designed for this morning world and the ol' “We don't need to detox, that's what our liver is for” just doesn't fly. One form of...

Have you heard of phase 2.5 detox and the key role it plays in supporting the healthy removal of used hormones and toxins from our system? Dr Kelly Halderman explains what it is and why it is so key - especially for people who live or work in high tox environments or who have detoxification impairment due to illness or (epi)genetics. We also talk about the full detoxification picture, how to optim...

This week on the show, Anne Foster is BACK. One of our most popular shows last year on textiles, Anne Foster, founder of @Elkie & Ark is this time putting her environmental scientist/economist hat on and we discuss the climate crisis and the every day things you and I can work on to reduce emissions to 30% below 1990 - yep, you read that right!

In this week's show, we have the wonderful Dr Gabrielle Lyon talking muscles. What happens when you cross a woman with a head cold (me that day!) and a Dr who's about to give birth to her first baby? Well, of course, you get a very interesting show about muscles and the key role they play in the research when it comes to longevity and not just age as a number, but thriving into old age. Dr. Lyon a...

At the core of his work, John helps men and women better understand and respect their differences in both personal and professional relationships. His approach combines specific communica...

One of my favourite things to do for the show is to research people who are thought leaders and boy have I found one in Steve Nygren, co creator of “Serenbe”. Imagine a land plan that could provide for 20% more housing while saving 70% of the land for agriculture and recreation. Sounds impossible, right? In 2004, the Nygrens began development of Serenbe the community to demonstrate tha...

Alzheimer's disease: It's something you dread that your future might reveal, and sadly the statistics are showing it to be more and more likely. 10 million cases of dementia are diagnosed worldwide each year, around 70% of those being an Alzheimer's diagnosis. This is all compounded by the fact that there's been very little progress in the past decades when it comes to treatment, much less reversa...

This week there are no questions and there is no guest - I'm chatting to you guys directly about my experience of starting to do Dr Joe Dispenza's work. When I came through the worst of mold illness (google “The whole mold story Low tox life” to hear all about that!) I realised I was catastrophising at the smallest things, always thinking the worst would happen and that was so unlike m...

I love highlighting stories of people who woke up one day and started playing a bigger game to make a difference to health or our planet. This week's guest could be any of us.

More inspired...
