Low Tox Life

This week's show I've invited the wonderful integrative physician based in New York, Dr Vincent Pedre on to talk all things gut - Dr Pedre is a Board-Certified Internist (internal medicine Dr) and Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner in private practice in New York City since 2004. His philosophy and practices are a blend of both Western and Eastern medical trad...

So the second and last ‘mash up week' of the summer series is a topic I see so many women struggle with in our community and even though we can be the most chilled out person (like me!) stress can be body stress from chronic illness also (like me with CIRS) so it can have a double meaning and root stress, yet a similar physiological cascade down stream. I loved both of th...

Welcome to 2019 and I hope you've had a beautiful year so far. This week and next, I've put together a couple of past podcast mash ups on two topics that come up again and again in our community as being pain-points / stuck-points… HELP points! No1 is of course: Sleep. So this week we have Dr Fiona Kerr, Dr Ron Ehrlich and Alex Fergus PT all sharing wisdom from different angl...

As we're not doing shows on the 24th or 31st, I just HAD to include this golden conversation with inspiring author and general “help you live your best life and never in a phoney way” legend, Jonathan Fields. Whether you know him from his podcast “The Good Life Project” or his book “How to live a good life” or whether you've never heard of him, today i...

So just a light topic today then, hey? I am thrilled to invite triple board certified physician, Zach Bush onto the show today for a conversation that made me throw out my questions as soon as we tucked in. When you do the math on the autism prediction of 1 in 3 children having an autism diagnosis by 2030 and EVERYONE having a cancer diagnosis in their life time by that same time, it is...

In my show this week we go deep into some of the labels you'll find on your clothes, bed linen and textiles in general.  What does fair trade, made in XYZ country, made with organic cotton, GOTS certified and Ecotek all mean when it's on the label? What are we NOT seeing on the label that is used in the farming and production process? How do we develop a healthier relationship with what we ch...

This week on the show the wonderful two times New York Times best seller Meik Wiking joins me once again. It was one of the most popular podcasts of last year on the Danish art of “hygge” which means cosiness so I'm excited to bring you another conversation with Meik. This time we go a bit deeper into happiness research, what the single biggest factors are for a soc...

This week it's me chatting to you direct. No guest. I'm sharing the 3 most asked about topics from the book tour AND the 5 top recommendations I've made across the country in today's show if you're feeling a little lost or overwhelmed as to where to start or how to prioritise and not feel like you're never doing enough - that ain't allowed on my watch! Perfect for those newly e...

I'm so thrilled to have discovered Katarina Wallentin, when she sent us her book - Clara the Climate Changer.

Oooh how excited I am to share this conversation this week. Joel Salatin, 61, calls himself a Christian libertarian environmentalist capitalist lunatic farmer. Others who like him call him the most famous farmer in the world, the high priest of the pasture, and the most eclectic thinker from Virginia since Thomas Jefferson.  Those who don't like him call him a bio-terrorist, Ty...

Do you love yourself? Really, really love yourself? That's what we're unpacking this week as I speak to the beautiful Kim Morrison about her new book on the subject. While we discuss her personal story and realisations over the years, we'll also be talking about some the deep work we can do to love ourselves, in a world that sell product based on us not being good enough to love in our c...

Wow. I learnt so much this week in this conversation. Nicole Avery is a business woman, a mother of 5 and one heck of an organised person. True story. I just had to hack her incredible tips, tricks and overwhelm-preventative measures that her family of 7 take to run things smoothly - most of the time (no one is perfect, remember?). I have been so inspired to look ahead to when my travel...

This week on the show it is my pleasure to welcome Mike Shade, campaign director for Safer Chemicals, Safer Families. It's one thing for us to know we don't want this stuff in our environments, homes and on our bodies, but it's another to find a way to effect change and move us forward. Mike Shade, in his work with Safer Chemicals, Safer families is doing just that. They're committed to getting re...

I've popped a bonus show on today because we've found this wonderful online publication that's branching out into ethical city guides too, called Pebble. Georgina Wilson-Powell is the founder and it was wonderful to discuss how she came to realise that Pebble needed to happen, and what they're doing to be the change as a publication and share inspiring resources, ethical brands and more,...

Imagine just working through your emails and Gregoire from 1789 comes trotting past you with a smile - don't know about you but I would NOT get much work done if that were to happen to me. This week on the show I interview a psychic - the modern mystic Belinda Davidson. What a special conversation this is and I was quite taken aback by how pragmatic and non woo woo Belinda was. It's...

My first show with Dr Ralph Esposito was so popular we've just had to do a part 2 on men's health.

One day with the exciting and looming ‘100th show' being discussed, Elise my awesome assistant decided I should be interviewed for the 100th show. Awesome! But WHO? That's when I thought who better than my publisher Jane who saw something in this whole ‘low tox life' thing worth exploring for a book, and her bringing that curiousity on a personal and profe...

There are people you meet who you're instantly on the same vibration as. One of those people for me is Tammi Kirkness. Past show guest Melissa Browne introduced us because Tammi was a fan of the toxin lowering aspect to Low tox Life and wanted to include that in her E course on High Functioning Anxiety and factors to address on the road to quietening it. We shared mouldy apartment storie...
