| 495. Dr Carrie Jones - Perimenopause 2.0 - Consider your crib notes delivered! | 30 août 2026 | 01:09:21 | |
Dr. Carrie Jones has been educating clinicians and supporting women in their hormonal health for nearly two decades. She's a naturopathic physician and based out of the U.S., but her reach is global and her passion is palpable. What I love about Carrie and why I wanted to have her back on the show after eight years since we first talked about perimenopause together on the podcast is that Carrie is passionate about presenting all of the tools and helping you discover all of the options. You can design and explore a perimenopause that feels aligned and actually works for you. She says the days of trying to raw dog it through no help, no support, no intervention whatsoever are done. There are many things that can help, and you'll have options that align with your personal beliefs, preferences, and needs. Her job and our job in this show is helping you find the support and tools you need for right now. We explore:

| 493. Lottie Dalziel and ‘BRAD’ - Saving millions of plastic items from landfill and inspiring you to join the movement! | 09 août 2026 | 00:56:50 | |
If you oscillate between pushing yourself and your community to do more to reduce your plastic consumption while also being frustrated that governments aren't doing more to regulate plastic production and make more plastics recyclable on a big scale, today is the show for you. Meet our guest, Lottie Dalziel. Lottie Dalziel started Banish in 2018 with a simple idea: give people a place to bring the things their kerbside bin couldn't take - hard-to-recycle items like old pens, bottle caps, soft plastics and coffee pods that would otherwise end up in landfill. In 2023, Banish opened its sustainability hub in Sydney's Haymarket. That idea grew into one of Australia's most recognised sustainability stores and the home of BRAD, the Banish Recycling and Diversion Program. In 2024 alone, BRAD diverted over one million pieces of plastic waste from landfill. Lottie is on a mission: No time for doom and guilt. Just practical information and specific things people can actually do. She has been recognised as NSW Young Australian of the Year, named in Forbes' 30 Under 30, and has spoken at TEDx, corporates, schools and community events across Australia. Her book, 365 Ways to Save The Planet & Your Money At The Same Time, continues that same approach. I hope you enjoy the show. Alexx Stuart, your host.

| 492. The many effects of our screen-heavy world that you hadn’t thought of yet, with Dr. Meenal Agarwal | 02 août 2026 | 01:01:23 | |
As we scroll on socials, we are bombarded with all kinds of reasons that screen time is having negative impacts on our lives - from polarisation to self consciousness and comparison as well as eye sight. In today's show with Dr. Meenal Agarwal, an eye doctor, we talk about so much more, when it comes to the effect of spending so much of our time on screens, aka “near focus” or “near work”. She talks us through the different areas of the brain and what's happening. She shares a deeply personal story of what happened to her, as well as the things she's seen in clinic that led her to deep dive into the research so that she could clearly explain just how far-reaching the effects of near focus predominance are. Dr. Meenal Agarwal is a board-certified optometrist, spatial awareness expert, and leading authority on the eye-brain connection. She coined the term Spatial Awareness Processing Disorder (SAPD) to describe how screen-heavy, modern lifestyles can disrupt the brain’s ability to judge distance, track motion, and navigate real-world space, bringing attention to the effects of digital overload on focus, safety, and presence while offering practical, prevention-focused solutions. Join us for the motivation you’ll need, to mix up your focus throughout your days and ditch those screens a little more often!

| 491. Rebecca Edwards: IRON Part 2 - Unpacking iron with real situation examples | 26 juil. 2026 | 01:13:52 | |
Many people experience fatigue in their lives. Many people experience issues with their iron levels. It's one of those Goldilocks nutrients. We don't want it too high or too low, and we definitely want it effectively absorbed to the level we need to make the most of it in our bodies for our energy and a whole bunch of other processes. We had two podcasts on iron last year. One of those was with Rebecca Edwards, naturopath and practitioner lecturer. It was the kind of podcast that leaves you wanting more. I reached out to Rebecca, and we held a masterclass in our Low Tox Club complete with Q&As, live blood panel assessments that members sent in for analysis, and Rebecca guiding us with questions to ask your practitioner. We looked also at key players that affect iron levels are not about the relationship of how much iron you're getting in your diet, but about how hormones, the gut microbiome, the gut lining and various changes in someone’s life can all be factors for issues with iron levels. I made this master class into a podcast so that you could benefit from growing your literacy on iron in your own health, given how many people do. Enjoy the show. Definitely listen to the first show that we did with Rebecca last year. It's not completely a prerequisite, but it will definitely be helpful to listen to both. If you have issues around fatigue or iron right now in your own life, you are in for a very supportive treat. Alexx Stuart Your Host.

| 490. How you are wired for peace with Jeremy Pollock | 19 juil. 2026 | 00:55:07 | |
I'm going to suggest that the best 50 minutes you can spend this week is listening to this week's show with Jeremy Pollack @pollackpeacebuilding who believes we are wired for peace. Jeremy Pollack, Ph.D. is a social-organisational psychologist, leader in the field of workplace conflict resolution and peacebuilding and author of WIRED FOR PEACE. He is the Founder of Pollack Peacebuilding Systems, an international conflict resolution consulting firm. He is also a co-founder and chairman of the Peaceful Leadership Institute, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit dedicated to promoting the model and theory of Peaceful Leadership. Because he has a PhD in neuroscience, he has a shed ton of evidence to back that up, in his book “Wired for Peace”. He has years of experience helping all kinds of communities and business structures be more peacemaking and peaceful, even within hierarchies which aren’t inherently ‘bad’. These are the sorts of conversations that can help us reflect on what's going on inside of us; figure out what's happening in our own little corners; and make peacebuilding and peacemaking possible, so we can all start to benefit from the ripple effects of that local work. LOVE these sorts of explorations, and I hope you love this one, Alexx Stuart Your Host Fancy a few more podcasts we’ve done over the years, related to this one?

| 489. Kal Glanznig: Plastic burdens biology - ours and our planets’: It’s time to lock in POLICY to lift the burden. | 12 juil. 2026 | 00:57:50 | |
I'd like to think that plastic is an apolitical subject. None of us want to see our environment or our bodies polluted with this stuff, and so it brings me great pleasure to focus on one of the biggest overlaps of our times: the quest to reduce plastic in our bodies and our environment. We've done a few shows on this over the years, and this week is wonderful. Let me introduce you to Kal Glanznig. He's a filmmaker, a counsellor in his local government area, and a leading youth ocean and climate champion. He’s also a young man of 25 who got his body tested for phthalate levels due to concerns for future fertility and was shocked to see how high his levels were, as he considered himself having a very healthy nature-focused lifestyle. He's created documentaries, Rising Up, back in 2024, and this year just released The Plastic Country. He's a multiple TEDx and UN COP speaker, and he's driven by the motto "Change Happens Locally". In high school, he led a 100 kW solar project, leading to 20 schools to follow suit. This guy is definitely not someone who rests on his laurels. He is here to effect change. Kal is on a mission to make it clear that if we don't shape the policies that make things truly better at every stage of government, then chances are we just keep going in swings and roundabouts on social media, either trying to raise awareness or trying to complain about how nothing is happening.

| 488. Meet Jenny Smith, taken down by mould: Now an expert building biologist living in a ‘bubble home’. | 05 juil. 2026 | 01:13:37 | |
Jenny Smith @mouldconsultancy has been an HVAC specialist (heating/ventilation/air conditioning) for decades - she’s had clients from NASA to the biggest commercial property developers and even wrote the manual on A/C split system installation for Australia in the early 2000s. And then there was mould and becoming gravely ill to the point she was falling asleep at the wheel and couldn’t walk. She tells that story but also of a pivot to building biology, education and what she’s had build as her home to be well. While this show is going to be incredibly inspiring for people who have fallen very ill due to water damage and those nasty types of species that grow in those situations that can really mess with our health and cause multi-system symptom mahem, it’s also for:
And more. Don’t be overwhelmed by the lengths Jenny has to go for her health when you listen to this week’s show. DO be inspired by her incredible knowledge and some of the things you’ll be able to take away and start doing in your own home.

| 487. Can we feel unbreakable in a shaky world? Therapist Joe DeNicholas believes that we MUST and shows us how. | 28 juin 2026 | 01:07:45 | |
“Stop and smell the roses” is a familiar phrase, yet today’s guest challenges us to make the “roses” our default mode rather than something we try to remember to do. Say What? So… If you feel like you’re trying to stand still on ever-moving ground… Or perhaps, you feel like, on paper, what you’ve achieved should ‘feel more satisfying and less exhausting or lacking’, or that you perhaps don’t deserve to feel content or happy in today’s world, and you find yourself worrying about ‘everything’, then this show is a recommended prescription. I recently came across Joe DeNicholas, MBA, LCSW, whose work bridges the worlds of science, secular spirituality, and psychological healing. Joe believes it’s not only possible but essential to cultivate and connect more often to our ‘ok-ness’ and so he helps people to do that in his work every day and in his book Unbreakable Wellbeing. I felt truly challenged by the idea of even deserving to work on connecting to my ‘ok-ness’ more often before my conversation with Joe; ‘whattabouting’ all the things I find gravely unjust, and worried it would come across as spiritual bypassing to air a show like this, but it turns out: Joe’s approach might just help us make the world a better place. We look at our personal barriers, frame ourselves within the big world without losing ourselves, and learn a couple of very simple exercises we can use to reconnect to a trust that we’re ok. And that, my lovely listeners, is this week’s show. I know we all need it. Take us for a walk and let yourself trust that you’re ok.

| 486. From PTSD to Renowned animal communicator: Kerrie Searle with a story of resilience, hope and an invitation to connect to your intuition | 21 juin 2026 | 01:13:12 | |
Wow have I got a powerful woman, story and show for us this week. (SA warning) Kerrie Searle was abused when working in the Victorian Police Force, by a senior leader. The experience, and the road to getting justice, left her with severe PTSD, in hospital and heavily medicated. From this awful time came a powerful healing journey that led to Kerrie realising she ‘understood’ animals and could speak with them - she started to understand plants and trees too. And so, we talk about abuse, grief, overcoming awful things that happen and how there can be a lot of good life awaiting us in the brave steps along a difficult path - and? If we tune into our intuition. If you have found yourself stuck in victim mode, in depression, in patterns or grief that owns you, it’s a very powerful show as Kerrie shares her story. It’s also a beautiful show for anyone who loves animals or wants to connect more deeply with the natural world of which we are of course a part - even though we try so hard to fool ourselves otherwise… I hope you love it, Alexx Stuart Low Tox Life Founder & Podcast Host Fancy a few more podcasts we’ve done over the years, related to this one?

| 485. The surprise gift that came from naturopath Catie Gett living below the poverty line | 14 juin 2026 | 00:54:42 | |
Catie Gett is a naturopath, author and founder of The Staple Store who has made a radical change to her mission. One day, a delivery drive of orders when the courier didn’t come, made her reckon with her younger self who wanted to have a big impact and change the world: This wasn’t changing the world, it was catering to a small group of people who could afford “the best”. In this conversation, Catie and I both share, what it’s meant to have to significantly pair back in our own lives for different reasons, and the gift that has come from finding ways to optimise creatively to do health in the most affordable, simple way possible. You’ll learn: The No.1 Skill that means you can eat nourishing foods, even living below the poverty line. The way Catie has transitioned to writing a cook book that includes white flour and sugar, when her ‘5 years ago self’ would have condemned those ingredients. The unexpected magic in remembering how simple food and life can be and how accessible the most important health-promoters are to everyone. The importance of voting with your dollar and buying the best quality produce and ingredients if you can - but the equal importance of relaxing into whatever the ‘best you can’ looks like, too. This show is for anyone who’s ever felt pressured to live beyond their means to “do things right” or who feels that they’re failing if they’re not doing ‘all the things’. Pull up a pair of head phones and a healing walk in nature and let’s actually change the world, in the different ways each of us can.

| 484. Nanoplastics: 2 Drs on the quest to help us bind and excrete them with Drs Eva Berkes and Nicholas Monsul | 07 juin 2026 | 00:58:22 | |
Concerned about plastics in the environment? In you? Today is the story of how two scientists embarked on a journey to bind plastics so our body excretes them instead of absorbing them. Drs. Nicholas Monsul (Yale University & The Johns Hopkins Hospital) and Dr Eva Berkes (Scripts Inst.) are physician-scientists and co-founders of Quorum Innovations, a biotechnology company working with bacteria to achieve extraordinary results. They have an innovative biofilm, postbiotic technology that binds 98% microplastics in the digestive tract with human trial results now live and a recently published paper. This is the first publication to demonstrate a technology capable of binding plastics to a bacterium in the digestive tract, in humans. The paper is currently under review in the Journal “Frontiers of Microbiology”. Very exciting stuff and I can’t wait for you to dive into the show.

| 480. Alistair Allan - Ending Krill Fishing & Examining Farmed Salmon - What we need to know! | 10 mai 2026 | 01:10:19 | |
Did you know the ocean contributes at least 50% of the world’s oxygen? We often talk about what’s happening on the land in farming on the podcast - but what’s happening in the oceans, in both fishing and farming, also deserves our attention, as Alistair and I tease out in this show - the parralels are striking regarding what’s going on in both globally. Alistair Allen has been an activist since he finished high school, working his way up to Captaining a Sea Shepherd ship and is now Antarctic and Marine Campaigner at the Bob Brown Foundation. He’s also incredibly skilful at explaining the full picture of a ‘bad thing’ and all of the downstream effects harming people, animals and the planet. We talk: Krill Fishing and the havoc it is wreaking on Antarctica and beyond Ocean Current Slowdown and Why This Matters Factory Farming of Salmon and the devastating impact in Tasmania and globally. What we can all do to change both consumer habits and lend our signature and voice to these issues. I hope you find this helps you understand the “factory fishing and farming” happening in our oceans, looking at these two different, yet connected, issues. I learned SO MUCH.

| 477. Dr Ceri Cashell - Women deserve the best in health care through every life stage | 19 avr. 2026 | 01:02:33 | |
Another show to add to the powerhouse handful of shows we’ve done with incredible practitioners over the years on Perimenopause/Menopause transition years to further Women’s Health empowerment. Dr Ceri Cashell, a Sydney Australia-based doctor, is on a mission to improve perimenopause and menopause support for women everywhere by training as many Drs as she can through her Healthy Hormones platform. Disappointed in the lack of understanding she had about perimenopause until she was in this phase of life herself, she took every course, seminar and book on board to arm herself with the best, most recent evidence-based information she could and it started having a very positive impact on her patients in practice. Fully booked and wondering how to support more women: Practitioner training through Healthy Hormones was born. In this show, we talk about some of the challenges around both the health care system, Drs’ education and patient access to quality, evidence-based care, as well as discussing the many things going on in perimenopause and menopause to empower you along your way.. Loaded with tips, positive patient outcomes, and ways to build your own confidence in this topic for your own hormone-changing experience, you won’t want to miss it. I hope it helps you or a woman you know, Alexx Stuart Your Host. Fancy a few more podcasts we’ve done over the years, related to this one?

| 476. A better food system for ALL isn’t about ‘hope’ with farmer Nick Holliday | 12 avr. 2026 | 01:02:18 | |
Farmers who are trying to improve our planet and the quality of and accessibility of food from the ground up? Some of my favourite show guests over the years have been farmers. Nick Holliday of Belvedere Farm here in Australia, QLD, is full-time farming with regenerative principles and providing eggs, pork and beef. He and his family feed hundreds of families each week, through their CSA collective and other distribution partners. He has a background in union and community organising, law and freelance writing. Nick doesn’t believe that “Vote with your Dollar” is going to fix this. Neither do I. I had to bring him on the show to discuss what really will help make local, nutritious and affordable food accessible to more people and what will help us step beyond culture wars and political labels and into the overlaps we all have and need, for good quality food, and work together to apply the right kinds of pressure in the right ways to effect real change. I hope you’re as inspired as I am in this conversation - and that you accept the “group homework” suggestion at the end. Imagine if we all did this homework this week? Your Host, Alexx Stuart Fancy a few more podcasts we’ve done over the years, related to this one?

| 474. Obesity Medicine and the willpower women don’t lack, with Dr Michelle Gordon | 29 mars 2026 | 00:47:28 | |
This week, I sat down with Dr Michelle Gordon - ex-surgeon, turned board-certified obesity medicine specialist, based in NY, USA. Dr Gordon is a woman who’s walked the path of shame, self-doubt, and relentless pursuit of health only to discover her body’s deeper story, so the power of that as it has informed her practice to support women is something you can truly feel.
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. Alexx Stuart Your Host Fancy a few more podcasts we’ve done over the years, related to this one?

| 473. Finally hopeful when it comes to depression - Dr. James Greenblatt’s wish for everyone. | 22 mars 2026 | 00:55:53 | |
In this episode, I talk with Dr James Greenblatt about depression and the many things that can play into someone’s diagnosis and treatment solutions. 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.

| 472. What is safe? River, Ground, Tank and Ocean water and PFAS “Forever chemicals” with water scientist, Professor Ian Wright | 15 mars 2026 | 00:52:01 | |
PFAS: Forever Chemicals. They’re everywhere. We’re worried. But it seems insurmountable to tackle. This week, we start to do just that with the first of two shows airing, to understand the situation, what we can do for our health, and how we can show up in the community to drive better policy and regulation against PFAS polluters. 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:
I hope you tune in and find this show helpful for understanding this pervasive chemical and how we change things. Alexx Stuart Your Host, Low Tox Life Want to learn more about this week’s guest?

| 470. Worried about hair loss or balding? Sasha Lilford is here to help | 01 mars 2026 | 00:58:37 | |
Hair loss can feel like a private crisis. It is often minimised, mislabelled, or treated as something you should simply accept as your fate. 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:
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. Alexx Stuart, Your Host.

| 469. Exercise: Breaking down the barriers to a stronger, happier body, with Dr Wendy Chorny | 22 févr. 2026 | 00:54:31 | |
What if, in 45 minutes, you could feel a whole lot more positive about the role of exercise and movement in your life? You’re about to be “Wendied!” 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:
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. Alexx Stuart Your Host, Low Tox Life Podcast Fancy a few more podcasts we’ve done over the years, related to this one?

| 468. Business as a force for good: Dr Bronner’s relentless drive to prove it’s possible. | 15 févr. 2026 | 01:15:20 | |
What does it really take to build an ethical supply chain from the ground up? In this show, we learn from one of the very best. Note: Shows are never sponsored, ie companies paying us to appear on the show. An ad is an ad, and the show is the show. I’m publishing this because we all need to believe there are companies out there with mounting proof of concept that you can design for a better world through business. 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:
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, Alexx Stuart, your host. Fancy a few more shows related to this one?

| 467. 25% of women experience domestic violence: Patricia Gordon Stevens helps us be helpers and hold hope. | 08 févr. 2026 | 00:52:57 | |
This podcast discusses domestic violence. Sit this one out if you need to 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:
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, Alexx, your host. Fancy a few more podcasts we’ve done over the years, related to this one?

| 466. How to use your outdoor time for the better for immediate health benefits, with Dr John La Puma. | 01 févr. 2026 | 01:09:47 | |
Concluding our “New Year, More Me” theme, we are invited to ponder from a 3rd angle: 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.

| 465. The practical path to a Brain that Breathes with Jodi Wilson | 25 janv. 2026 | 00:55:19 | |
If you want more brain space and less pressure in your day, this Low Tox Life episode is for you. 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 Fancy a few more podcasts we’ve done over the years, related to this one?

| 464. Too busy or scared to feel everything? Dr Jenn Rapkin explains the health benefits we’re missing and how to reconnect. | 18 janv. 2026 | 01:03:12 | |
What if your body has been trying to get your attention - through tension, numbness, or stress - but you've been too busy to listen? 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. Fancy a few more shows related to this one?

| 463. SOIL: What we do to it, we do to ourselves. Nicole Masters breaks down the regenerative shifts that change everything. | 11 déc. 2025 | 00:58:04 | |
This week, I welcome one of the most respected voices in regenerative agriculture: Nicole Masters. She’s an agroecologist, educator, systems thinker, and author of For the Love of Soil - one of the best books I read while researching my second book FOOD. 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, Your Host. Fancy a few more podcasts we’ve done over the years, related to this one?

| 462. Build your Homeopathic Remedy Confidence with Marcus Fernandez | 04 déc. 2025 | 01:23:08 | |
How much do you know about Homeopathy? 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.

| 461. Want a better world? Steven Nygren teaches us how to build it | 27 nov. 2025 | 01:02:46 | |
You have to see it to be it, right? 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.

| 459. Men's Health: Your checklist for a solid preventative health strategy with Gerald Quigley | 13 nov. 2025 | 01:02:01 | |
Men, and those who love them, listen up! 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.

The power of seeds to future proof our food system. That’s what we’re looking at in this show. If you’ve ever tasted an heirloom vegetable or fruit, you’ll know it.

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.

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.

| 456. From African Herbal Medicine to Radical Self love and care for the modern superwoman: Dr Andrea Sullivan is our expert guide. | 23 oct. 2025 | 01:00:54 | |
“Why don’t you just go mix up those horsefeathers in your backroom or whatever it is you do” Andrea said to the naturopath after he suggested she become a naturopath. She laughed it off quickly that day, but here we are today, speaking with her, now 40 years into being a naturopathic physician. 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, Alexx, your host.

| 455. Marianne Williamson - Are you ready to be a spiritual athlete for our times? | 16 oct. 2025 | 00:53:50 | |
Marianne Williamson has been a force for good for decades. 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.

| 454. Dr Katherine Willow - A new way to approach disease, healing and death | 09 oct. 2025 | 01:27:31 | |
Have you heard of German New Medicine? I was intrigued by a theory and practice shrouded in scandal and criticism. Why? Because it wasn’t disproven, and because some of the results are truly astounding. So I set out to find a practitioner who had a lot of experience with it but who also hadn’t abandoned other tools in clinical practice, diagnosis, treating and healing. 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. Alexx Stuart, Your Host Want to learn more about this week’s guest?

| 453. Gerald Quigley - Immune support + bringing herbal and nutritional support into your day-to-day without fear. | 02 oct. 2025 | 00:58:06 | |
Why are we more susceptible to coming down with something like a cold or the flu at the turn of a season or change of humidity or temperature? And what really helps? 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.

| 452. IRON Deep dive: Too high, too low, tried ‘everything’ and still feel awful? | 25 sept. 2025 | 01:26:28 | |
IRON: It’s a part 3 of sorts, as we’ve covered Iron twice on the show previously but given the questions that continue to come in: This is the show to round it all out thoroughly. We unpack:
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.

| 450. Regenerative Farming insights for eaters and farmers with Margaret River Organic Farmer | 11 sept. 2025 | 00:53:21 | |
It’s a Farmer Insights show this week, designed to inspire eaters to upgrade their food sourcing practices and for farmers, whether organic or regenerative farming curious, to gain insights into how others are achieving success, saving money, transitioning, managing weeds and pests, and more. 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!

| 448. Eat 2 venison steaks a year to save the environment? The opportunity in addressing invasive species, with Tara Medina | 28 août 2025 | 00:51:51 | |
A food system show with a difference today and I can’t wait to hear from our global audience how these issues play out where you live, too! 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:
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 Alexx x Want to learn more about this week’s guest?

This week, Dr. Aimie Apigian, double board-certified physician, trauma specialist, and author of the upcoming book The Biology of Trauma: How the Body Holds Fear, Pain, and Overwhelm, and How to Heal It, is going to make you feel seen and SO much more capable as you navigate trauma in your own life, or with someone you know going through it or trying to heal. Aimie shares her deeply personal experience that shaped her desire to understand trauma and healing on her own journey, and translates this into powerful work as a physician supporting patients with compassion and solutions. She even takes us through 2 simple exercises to feel safe in your body NOW whenever you might need them - I’ve used them ever since we recorded this. Enjoy the show, Alexx Stuart, your host.
