Well here it is - the last show of 2024! 

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

What can a homeopath with 6000 hours of experience supporting people’s health teach us? 

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
•

Ali Daddo and Mary Doube are on a mission to support women worldwide in feeling less alone and more empowered on their peri+menopausal journeys with their Aviiana platform. It’s crazy to think that we weren’t talking about this phase that 100% of women go through who live long enough, just a handful of years ago - in today’s show when I mention I did a show on Perimenopause with Dr Carrie Jones a few years ago, Mary said “Wow how groundbreaking” - there was nothing 6 years ago online. I did that show because people in our community had begun to ask and talk about it. The topic has become a mainstay since then. Thank GOSH. GenX decided: Nope: Women will not suffer silently right when they need more support and more answers than ever. 

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.

This show, I share tips and ideas to make the month ahead feel less intense and we wrap up the calendar year. 

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

“What would it look like for you to be fully recovered” asks Dr Robert Bray of his patients. Powerful question. How would it look for you? 

A trigger warning if you are sensitive to trauma, violence or suicide topics. Hugs to you and it might not be for you (although for the same reasons, it might very well be for you). 

This show explores Thought Field Therapy a form of ‘energy psychology’, something that Robert added to his tool kit since learning the Therapy from its creator, psychologist Dr Roger Callaghan, in 1996. Robert found that the therapy, a form of specialised “tapping” and muscle testing in combination with counselling and psychotherapy, added what was often missing for the people he saw stuck in loops with their physical or mental health. 

It’s a fascinating show where we cover how it can help first responders, military people in active service or retired, victims of abuse and people with chronic illnesses. 

If you join us on YouTube (yes, finally the show is on there now too!) you will see me try the therapy for myself with Robert taking me through a mini-session - your ever willing guinea pig ;-) 

If you’re in a negative mental or physical health loop, join me for this one. Very interesting and hopefully to someone out there, very helpful!

Does food ever stress you out, for one reason or another? This week’s show is here to help you relax and find joy in food and my guest is the wonderful Deanna Minich PhD.

I’ve long followed Deanna’s work in nutrition and the beautiful way she links it to the power of colour, body systems, energy centres and ancient wisdom. 

This week we talk about: 

• Deanna’s journey towards the rainbow - how did that take shape?
• What led Dieanna to her 7 Systems framework
• How does she address hecklers who challenge, say, the connection between pineapple and ambition or broccoli and love?
• The intersection between what is bio individually beneficial vs what is temporarily challenging when it comes to incorporating a large range of plant foods. 
• “Anti-nutrients” and the nuanced picture when discussing lectins, phytates, salicylates and oxalates.
• Detoxification and what 'whole self detoxification' is as a process and why it’s more effective than focusing purely on biochemistry.
• Deanna’s favourite 3 desert-Island foods to take with her (GOOD CHOICES!)  

I hope you love the show as I did - I could have continued chatting for HOURS!

Dr John Demartini is a force and is joining me back on the show for the 4th time to focus on the oscillation between ups and downs, fear and safety, stress and calm, negative and positive and how ‘positive thinking’ and ‘negative thinking’. 

John is a world-leading human behaviour specialist, philosopher, international speaker, best-selling author, and the founder of The Demartini Method - a revolutionary tool in modern psychology. He has authored 43 books translated into 40 different languages and presented his insights alongside some of the world’s most influential people.

Jessica Maguire is back on the show and while the first show we did was about the nuts and bolts of the nervous system, this week is a powerful exploration of the human experience, our responses, the signals of dysregulation we can look out for in ourselves and others, and the power of helping someone else regulate or having someone who can do that for us, through grief, work, school and just about any of life’s challenges. Main topics this week are: 

• The Grief journey
• Our Responses vs ‘who I am’
• Relationships - bringing our dysregulation with us! 
• Clues to look for in your body and behaviors that point to dysregulation
• The Online World and its contribution to escalating dysregulation
• The nervous system dysregulation in the workplace and how it presents. 
• Corrective experiences we can provide or seek out - what is truly ‘being there’ or having someone who is JUST ‘there’ and why is it so healing? 

SUCH a powerful show. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we enoyed having it. Plus, Jess wrote a book! The Nervous System Reset is out now. Available in Booktopia for AU peeps and on Amazon US

Jessica (BHSci, MPhysio) is a seasoned expert in nervous system education with a Master’s in Physiotherapy, and extensive study into neuroscience and neurology, has helped thousands of students worldwide truly transform their nervous systems. 

As usual, anywhere you find podcasts, you’ll find LOWTOXLIFE - even now on YouTube - I know, I know, it only took us 9 years. If you’re a visual person you can head over and subscribe. 

Lots of Low Tox Love to you,

Is astrology woo woo or one of the most powerful tools we have to become more aware of ourselves and others and the way we all interact? 

Jordanna Levin author of “All Signs Point to You” and astrologer takes us on a SUPER fascinating journey through charting, stereotypes, archetypes, influences and road maps - and even responds to an astrology take-down issued by one of my fave people, Adam Grant (we love you Adam, genuinely, but I had to see what Jordanna thought!) 

Jordanna Levin is the bestselling author of Make It Happen, Higher Love and Make You Happen, and hosts the popular astrology podcast Lunar Lover.

With her background in journalism, Jordanna has built a reputation for taking ‘big’ topics and making them relatable, digestible and downright entertaining. Through her wit, warmth and street-smart practicality she invites readers to get curious about the things that light them up.

Jordanna is also a trained astrologer, flexing her skills through her weekly podcast show Lunar Lover, and by offering natal chart readings to clients so that they can understand themselves more intimately creating more self awareness. 

I hope you love the show as much as I enjoyed this topic exploration. I was so excited about my chart by the end of it that for the first time in 25 years (yep, after ‘that’ break up in my 20s. ha!) I booked in to get my chart done. Yes I did. 😘💡

Skin conditions and treatments. That is this week’s show with naturopathic doctor and herbalist Dr Julie Greenberg, founder of rootcausedermatology.com, helping clinicians get to the root of why skin presentations might be happening for that person and how to treat more holistically. She founded her clinic in LA, USA, The Center for Integrative & Naturopathic Dermatology Inc where she also sees patients to support them. 

We discuss: 

• How we treat skin conditions today and how it’s a broken system, needing stronger and stronger topical treatments and injectibles over time, used on younger and younger patients than was initially considered safe. 
• How we can free ourselves from feeling ‘bad’ for what we’ve done to treat our skin issues in the past and see a place for SOS while we work on the long game. 
• The difference between eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. 
• How the gut and immune function are intertwined, and can then impact our skin
• The sun, the bad wrap it gets, how it relates to the 2 different types of cancers called ‘skin cancers’ and what we need to be doing to have a preventative approach to skin cancers. 

We’ve done a few shows on skin issues in the past if you need more shows on skin, here they are: 

1. Asha Everts Part 1 and Part 2 
2. Kiran Krishnan, microbiologist on leaky gut and skin
3. Liezel Barnard on strengthening our skin preventatively 

And a brilliant masterclass we did on the “Skin Stress Cycle” with live Q&A with Dr Jude Lenart, is in our membership archive library - you can join the Low Tox Club any time for just $49AUD for the year and there are lots of lovely perks if you do! 600+ people can’t be wrong?

The most common question I get that comes up is about how to “clean” mold!? (Pro tip: switch to saying remove not ‘clean’ or ‘kill’.)

Michael Pinto has been in the business of identifying harmful hazards in the home from mould to asbestos, to lead and more, for over 40 years, and now semi retired, I cheekily thought he might have time for me to data mine his experience - and he said yes! We cover:

• Knowing how detailed you need to go in your cleaning when it comes to mould and the people in your house (ie, do you have a ‘sensitised’ person) 
• Vacuums
• Cloths
• Chemicals
• Steam cleaning ins/outs

And so much more… So, if you’ve ever wondered about how to thoroughly clean your home when it comes to finding a bit of surface mould, or when you’ve moved somewhere new to ensure it’s properly clean or maybe after remediation when you aren’t able to pay for the whole-home clean up? 

This one’s for you! 

More about our guest… Michael A. Pinto served as the CEO of Wonder Makers Environmental. Although based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Michael’s acknowledged expertise in dealing with a wide variety of indoor environmental issues, as well as safety and health concerns, has led to helping clients around the world. With six books and over 230 published articles in his 45 years as a professional, Michael has specialized in “translating” difficult technical material to make it understandable to the layperson. Over his career Michael has developed hundreds of training programs and technical presentations; training over 12,000 students.

As would be expected, Michael has a number of professional certifications including Certified Safety Professional (CSP), Safety Management Specialist (SMS), Registered Third-Party Evaluator (RTPE), Certified Mold Professional (CMP), Certified Forensic Operator (CFO), Fire Loss Specialist (FLS) And Environmental Risk Specialist (ERS). Michael can be reached at [email protected].
