A podcast for a healthier, happier you and planet - Hosted by Alexx Stuart, founder of the low tox movement, author of Low Tox Life + Low tox Life FOOD and www.lowtoxlife.com
Pop Quiz: How do you feel about aging?
This week’s show, @carlhonore invites us to stop buying into the cult of youth, and explore what the world might look like when we do.
If you’d love nothing more than to change the way you view ageing, change the things you say about age, brush off the pressure to be ‘young’ then join us.
Words like vitality, energy, enthusiasm, vibrancy and ‘crushing it’ don’t belong to any age - they belong to the people who embody them at any age.
Carl has always made us think through his books, and challenge how we think about and do things. In Praise of Slow, challenged Hustle Culture; his book “Bolder” in 2018 challenges us to rethink aging and the notion that at a certain point we should be put out to pasture. I know you’ll love this chat.
So good. Can’t wait to hear what ahas come from it for you. Alexx x

Nervous system, somatics and what true regulation means. We go there again with a brilliant practitioner. It’s a biggy this week. It’s going to be a cause for reflection and compassion for many of us, I think!
I wanted to have @irenelyon on the show because I’ve become concerned myself about AI and the impact on education online - models hired to demo a few ‘easy exercises’ to regulate system and modules churned out by computers, funnels built by bots and everything geared to algorithm eye catching… it’s the Wild West out there and we’re playing with humans who actually need support.
What people ‘think’ doing work to regulate the system might have gone through to need it:
What experiences also can mean regulation work can be needed
And the list goes on! We unpack the many ways to know if you’re connecting with a good person/platform to work with - how to spot ‘quick fixing red flags on the internet’ and then some of the common situations where people go through every possible treatment for whatever it is they’re experiencing as adults, only to find it stems from dysregulation.
I hope you love the show as much as I love bringing this one to you, Alexx x

You know what’s in this week’s show on metabolic health? YOU ARE.
No one is left behind in Lara’s book “The Metabolic Reset” which just came out, nor is anyone left behind on this week’s show where we explore these and so much more:
Sleep, circadian rhythms and individuality within that
Struggling to achieve ‘satiety’ after meals and how food is the OPPOSITE of ‘one way for all’!
How a deep sense of safety and relaxation are gold for metabolic function
Not achieving the results the online guru with the protocol is talking about and feeling like you are the problem - AGAIN!
Favourite hacks, tips and things to explore along your way after Lara’s decades of research and clinical practice.
And we also talk about culture, societal pressures and messages, evolution - like my survival superpower of seriously good fat storage skills for tough times 😂and Lara’s checkered history with sleep 😴
It’s real talk. Listen, share it. It’s important.
You will feel like you can explore, experiment and implement from the minute you finish the show. Enjoy, Alexx x

Have you ever felt super passionate about making a change for people or planet in the low tox sphere, only for it to land like a lead brick with your kids, partner, family or friends?
Maybe you’ve joined groups, watched documentaries, and read books, and you can’t understand why people aren’t excited?
Maybe your family members think you’re overreacting, or an annoying parent/partner just wanting to buy lots of things we don’t need or trying to make everyone do more in an already busy day?
Or making up problems when you could "paint over it" (hellooooo mould remediation discussions!).
Whatever it is, in this week’s show, I tackle the first 10 of 20 of the most common objections from family members across all low tox topics and how to make a case for change!
The next 10 will be in Part 2 soon.
The 10 situations in Part 1 are:
Kids with friends obsessed with a certain drink bottle
A teen in the cool gang and the gang are starting to vape or use synthetic fragrance sprays.
Little Kid starting to get fussy about food once they see how/what other kids eat
Narrow diet - encouraging broader variety in kids!
Teens and microtrends
Personal care/hygiene with teens
Then at home...
Getting new appliances - general
Justifying dehumidifiers/air filters
Non Stick pan upgrades
Building a case for maintenance
To be continued!
Today is about creating low toxic unity, not ‘annoying overreactor division’, Alexx x

What a treat this Part-1 of microbiome explanation is with @kiranbiome this week on the podcast. We explore:
It was so detailed and thorough that we invariably only made it through half of my wishlist topics, so I’ve invited Kiran back for Part 2, where we will explore “leakiness” in the skin, brain, gut, and more in August.

Immune support and health and tips and tricks to boost ourselves this time of year with changing seasons, is common and normal to be chatting about, and of course, often very helpful.
BUT.
I knew when I invited my dear friend and wise sage, Shalani McCray @livealivehq who is a naturopathic nutritionist, practitioner of many years, an EFT, MAPS and GAPS practitioner, an herbalist and an ordained interfaith minister… that we wouldn’t just be talking about garlic soaked socks and vitamin D capsules, but about fundamental common sense inputs for being WELL and robust and having the vitality to withstand common lurgies for the most part in the first place.
We talk about:
And more.
Come, listen and be soothed by the simple things that count BIG, Alexx x

This podcast is a big exploration of several important topics of our times (Das hates the word ‘conversation’ and shares why in the show)
Das isn’t here to give people comfortable ‘off ramps’ and this was definitely a thought provoking hour exploring things we’re all often thinking about, also often despairing over the state of, and yet never moving forward and we aim to light a fire or remind us to find our overlaps and common ways to move forward.
I hope you love it as much as I did, your host, Alexx

How do you go putting your shoes and socks on while standing and not leaning against anything? How about 1-legged toothbrushing?
Amidst the discussions on the finer points of VO2Max, perfecting your form with the bench press and focusing on protein prioritisation, Mobility and Stability too, deserve pride of place in your physical fitness but they’re not extra and exhausting ‘new to-dos’ for the list:
Juliett and Kelly Starlett have got it down to 10 tests + 10 physical practices that create 10 ways to make your body work better, most of which you can incorporate into what you’re already doing - even while watching TV. Thank god, as I’m only part the way through the new Bridgerton series 😅
It is such a joy to bring you this chat with Juliet, who was also a professional whitewater paddler, winning 3 World Championship and 5 national titles. Juliet is on a mission to help people MOVE more and what I love about her whole vibe is that we’re not being scared into it or shown something that feels 1000 steps away from where one might be today, but we’re invited through curiosity, play and being shown that progress = success.
Get inspired with me and enjoy the show,
Alexx

No1. For Parents trying to learn practical skills about parenting and caring in the age of so much technology and now AI, we’re often very quickly scared to death: The algorithms favour sensationalist, fear-based marketing: the worst of the worst facts get preference over moderate, nuanced skill-building messaging and we tend to then act out of fear when communicating with our kids around tech, instead of curiosity, building trust, teaching boundaries and validating their interests with their safety in mind.
No2. For Kids, the algorithms can serve sensational, sexual or violent content that they’re not ready for and don’t know how to deal with in a healthy way, often sometimes feeling shame or breeding secrecy over what they’ve discovered or private conversations they’ve been invited to.
We need to figure out how to be better flashlights for their spotlight minds, and Dr Jocelyn Brewer is back on the podcast to help us take a deep breath and get really good at it.
We cover:
Share it far and wide - I haven’t spoken to a single parent or teacher who hasn’t got concerns over some of these topics, and we need more practical skill building, not more fear and denial.

There could be a million different reasons this hour might improve your life. You will have to listen and find out, but all I will say is don’t delay.
That we have Gay and Katie Hendricks, their separate and collaborative bodies of work and their books to share so much wisdom, makes me feel good about the world and I’m overjoyed to bring them to you in the show this week.
We talk about all this and more:
Put simply: We explore many big things this week that will crack us open to be put back together even better, Kintsugi-style. A must listen. A gift to share it with people in your life as is all the work Gay and Katie have done.
I cannot wait to hear what you got from this week’s show,

We have more specialists than ever before, yet we are sicker than ever before. That’s why I am thrilled to bring you this week’s show, because it’s a story of two practitioners. This is a treat if you are a parent and:
Share it far and wide with parents you know, and I’ll also say, super useful for adults who’ve had long-term musculoskeletal or dental/jaw structure issues to look at the bigger picture for yourself, too. - Enjoy the show, Alexx x
