Well here it is - the last show of 2024!
Thank you for being with me these past 50 shows, as weâve 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 itâs 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 âunmessable withâ 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 youâll agree!
Enjoy the show and canât wait to hear what you think,
Alexx

What can a homeopath with 6000 hours of experience supporting peopleâs 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 Familyâs!
Eugenie Kruger accepts my barrage of questions on:
When we can self-administer, vs when we should seek out a homeopathHow homeopathic remedies are decided - the âprovingâ methodHow different dilutions affect the effects of the remediesThe role of homeopathy use alongside conventional treatmentsHomeopathics for detoxificationDifferent 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 ârulesâ around usage âthe whenâs and the howâs and the donâtsâ you see onlineThank you to this monthâs show sponsors for helping you make your low tox swaps easier:

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. Itâs crazy to think that we werenât talking about this phase that 100% of women go through who live long enough, just a handful of years ago - in todayâs show when I mention I did a show on Perimenopause with Dr Carrie Jones a few years ago, Mary said âWow how groundbreakingâ - 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 whatâs helping us through it. I hope for the mid-lifers and beyond in our community, it will provide a good âoh thank gosh itâs not just meâ 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 youâre 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:
Itâs the end of the year - I have so much I still want to/have to/must DO - gah⊠Go Go Go. I just want to slow down a lie on a beach, in a field or under a blanket and CHILLSo 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

âWhat would it look like for you to be fully recoveredâ 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 âenergy psychologyâ, 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 âtappingâ 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.
Itâs 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 youâre 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 weekâs show is here to help you relax and find joy in food and my guest is the wonderful Deanna Minich PhD.
Iâve long followed Deannaâs 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:
Deannaâs journey towards the rainbow - how did that take shape?What led Dieanna to her 7 Systems frameworkHow 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. âAnti-nutrientsâ and the nuanced picture when discussing lectins, phytates, salicylates and oxalates.Detoxification and what 'whole self detoxification' is as a process and why itâs more effective than focusing purely on biochemistry.Deannaâs 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!

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 lifeâs challenges. Main topics this week are:
The Grief journeyOur Responses vs âwho I amâRelationships - bringing our dysregulation with us! Clues to look for in your body and behaviors that point to dysregulationThe Online World and its contribution to escalating dysregulationThe nervous system dysregulation in the workplace and how it presents. Corrective experiences we can provide or seek out - what is truly âbeing thereâ or having someone who is JUST âthereâ 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 Masterâs 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, youâll find LOWTOXLIFE - even now on YouTube - I know, I know, it only took us 9 years. If youâre 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 âAll Signs Point to Youâ 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 âbigâ 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 âthatâ break up in my 20s. ha!) I booked in to get my chart done. Yes I did. đđĄ

Skin conditions and treatments. That is this weekâs 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 itâs 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 âbadâ for what weâve 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 skinThe sun, the bad wrap it gets, how it relates to the 2 different types of cancers called âskin cancersâ and what we need to be doing to have a preventative approach to skin cancers.Weâve done a few shows on skin issues in the past if you need more shows on skin, here they are:
Asha Everts Part 1 and Part 2 Kiran Krishnan, microbiologist on leaky gut and skinLiezel Barnard on strengthening our skin preventativelyAnd a brilliant masterclass we did on the âSkin Stress Cycleâ 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 canât be wrong?

The most common question I get that comes up is about how to âcleanâ mold!? (Pro tip: switch to saying remove not âcleanâ or âkillâ.)
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 âsensitisedâ person) VacuumsClothsChemicalsSteam cleaning ins/outsAnd so much more⊠So, if youâve ever wondered about how to thoroughly clean your home when it comes to finding a bit of surface mould, or when youâve moved somewhere new to ensure itâs properly clean or maybe after remediation when you arenât able to pay for the whole-home clean up?
This oneâs for you!
More about our guest⊠Michael A. Pinto served as the CEO of Wonder Makers Environmental. Although based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Michaelâs 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.

As with all things, I believe in finding people who can help us navigate the nuanced way forward - is there a way our kids can healthily grow up in public?
Devorah Heitner PhD has been asking this with curiosity both as a parent and a researcher and in todayâs show, we unpack exactly that question. Her book âGrowing up in Publicâ is a must read so that we understand our kidâs social dynamics today better, and so that we know where boundary and protection are required, as well as curiosity and patience.
Kids are growing up more in public than ever. While we discuss meaningful ways that we can ensure they get to live childhoods more connected to each other than they are to their screens, I genuinely feel itâs important to have a conversation about the world that exists and how best to navigate it, than to simply wish it werenât like it was and ban everything. The tech algorithms favour fear and outrage and so nuanced explorations on this topic are hard to find.
Please help me amplify it.
Dr. Heitnerâs work has appeared in the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and CNN Opinion. She has a Ph.D. in Media/Technology & Society from Northwestern University and has taught at DePaul and Northwestern. She is delighted to be raising her own teenager and she lives with her family in Chicagoland.
Letting kids use phone during the school day? Bad idea. Using screens as babysitting to save on childcare costs? No judgement. Itâs complicated with multiple things at play as to how many families got there. Kids needing more places to hang and connect than home or shopping centre mall? HECK yes.
I hope you find the show useful.

Show 400 - How did we get here!? Well, it took a few people to get this show to where it is today and Iâll list them below because if youâre reading this, youâre one of them. In the show today, Iâve chosen 4 excerpts from past shows that weave together in funny ways, once I listened to them all in a row⊠10 or so minutes from each of these deep-from-the-archive shows that are every bit as necessary and useful today, as they were when I first published them.
1. Bruce Lipton - on breaking the programs we downloaded very young, and changing your energy to change your life.
2. Charles Eisenstein - on self love quests being perhaps the wrong tactic, yet self love being the key to being free of judgement of the âothersâ and carving a path to de-polarising our world.
3. Sage Magdalene - on the invitation nature gives us to have more reverence for the big things happening everyday around us that we donât notice, and yet if we did?
4. Jade Miles - on Future Steading and how we can apply the principle of living aligned with a world that has a future, from wherever we are and whatever we can do to restore balance in our lives.
I hope you enjoy these excerpts and I encourage you if you remember listening to it âback thenâ to listen again.
You, the listeners - no point making a podcast if no one shows up to listen!Our incredible guests across food, body, home, mind, family and environmental topics.

Did you feel like kids connected with kids and adults with adults regarding food? Separate times, separate tables, dumbed-down âfunâ food?
This week we are talking food and little people - Toddlers to be specific given the wonderful Luka from Book to Food has a new book available for pre-order and soon for real âToddler to Tableâ.
It is a stunner of a book but what I love most about the book and our conversation, as someone who spent years educating on family food in the earlier years of Low Tox Life is that we talked about:
how peopleâs backgrounds and childhoods affect our views on foodOur own experiences of shift work - two reformed Up-And-Go breakfast gals - true story and how conveniences needed re-teaching/re-defining.Luka explains why sheâll never do a day on a plate and why itâs easier for her to put a big focus on food in her life - LOVE THAT THIS CAME UP - Ever felt guilty following homemaker accounts, food accounts or zero-waste peeps? Remember they do it FULL TIME.Agency and choice within boundaries and a family food settingFood refusal - when to work on it as an âissueâ vs not sweating the small stuff.The Family Table and coming together and the impact it has.And so much more - enjoy! And Toddler to Table is available for Preorder if you or someone in your life has a toddler - it is a STUNNER and about so much more than just recipes. Bravo @boobtofood

Being a teen is harder than ever before and itâs showing in the stats and research.
BUT, this is not about going down the fear road, nor is it all about crying âitâs social mediaâ as an over simplified solution.
We also need to do a LOT more to diversify the âsuccessâ picture during school years, help them matter, feel the love and find themselves as they journey through individuation into adulthood.
All while they huff at us, sometimes act out, show us rudeness and do things beyond our comprehension often - now is not the time to be offended, nor to come down hard.
So what do we do as parents, carers, teachers and coaches?

If youâve been confused about hormone testing - this weekâs show is here to help.
@drleahhechtman PhD, takes us through hormone testing options for age, stage and situation, as well as things that impact the accuracy of a test.
We cover:
Saliva, Urine and Blood testing - when which one or all are helpful and for whom. What reference ranges are based on - and most of us arenât IT đłPill effects at puberty & perimenopause (without shaming!) The constraints with the medicare model for test ordering and clinical significance, ie, a lot can be done before a crisis occurs that requires a medication. How urine testing can be your best guide when considering HRTHistamine and run-away estrogen - thereâs usually a 3rd party reason beyond hormones that this pathway is activated. How progesterone is the good, reliable friend that keeps estrogen from too many wild parties! What you can achieve without spending any $$$ exploring your hormone health, up to the breadth of what one can do if you wanted to.Howâs that for ground covered!?
Dr Leah Hechtman (PhD) is a globally respected naturopathic clinician, a revered lecturer and a sought-after keynote speaker who is widely recognised for her expertise, receiving numerous referrals from specialists and fertility clinics on a global scale. Such a pleasure to have her back on the show.
Hope you love it as much as we loved recording it for you, Alexx x

This week we talk MILK with @fat_pig_farm Matthew Evans - the dairy kind, the plant kind and the many aspects to consider when considering either.
Do you consume dairy products?
Do you have issues with lactose, casein or both?
Do you think plant milks are nutritious and planet-friendly?
Do you think plant milk has a lighter footprint?
Do you think Raw milk is safe? Dangerous?
We go everywhere on the topic of milk and Matthewâs research into the topic for his latest book, MILK, is thorough and revealing as well as appealing to the deep thinker and person who wants a truer food system.
Matthew Evans is a Tasmanian food writer, television broadcaster and chef who lives and works on Fat Pig Farm, a soil-to-stomach regenerative farm and restaurant. Heâs been the host of six series of Gourmet Farmer and two documentaries on SBS TV. Matthew is the author of 15 books on food, including On Eating Meat, and his latest cookbook, the updated and revised The Real Food Companion. His book SOIL is a hymn to the remarkable, and underappreciated bit of Earth that gifts us life. His most recent book, MILK, unpacks the truth and lies behind the original superfood.
Matthewâs Website â https://fatpig.farm/ . His Books are also available on Amazon.com.
Enjoy and let me know what you found most interesting about this exploration. Alexx x

Are you frustrated with the medical system when it comes to chronic illness? Perhaps frustrated with the obvious hold industry has over public service institutions?
What if you had the power to cultivate a level of safety for your system that helped you feel more well and resilient in todayâs world and less reliant on the system in the first place?
Today we explore both of these with Dr Olivia Lesslar.
Olivia and I discuss:
There is a need for more nuance and deeper thinking in medicine today and in what the public takes to be âtruth,â whether that be believing something is a silver bullet fix, âbad foodâ, or âsafe and effective medicationâ. We ALL need to think more. We look at the path from the research lab to product to clinician and how we can do better in that processWe look at how caring for patients has lost its way, so often reading for symptoms that match up with medication and not seeing the nuance or the opportunities to build a greater independence from needing external medication. We look at the conundrum for many: Complex illness requiring expert clinicians and cost often being prohibitive: Of course the doctors are worth it for all the study and experience they bring, but at the same time, often being a last resort, patients with chronic illness have limited funds. We look at safety signaling in the body and how we can cultivate a mindset of health by looking to the emerging and established evidence in neuro/immune connectionHow can I be less breakable and shakable? Working on that is one of the most powerful health cultivation focuses we can have.A powerFULL episode for all inspired towards a better model of healthcare, and a world with fewer people suffering chronic illness.

What a rite of passage should be: A powerful graduation into a new phase of life - something one grows into and is supported into during the transition.
What they often are instead because we lack proper rites of passage?
A piss up for your 18th or 21st with gloating about who got the drunkestA sexual encounter you might not feel ready for but âall your friends haveâ and youâre X age now, so you feel you have to or should want to. Depression or anxiety because of a lack of support into a new chapter (adulthood, parenthood, elder life).As a couple of examples⊠This week, we talk about how long-standing community GP Dr Arne Rubinstein started noticing his patients were suffering all sorts of unhealthy situations in their lives. Many of them stemmed from a lack of solid grounding and really getting to âgrow upâ properly or enter new phases in life. They lacked recognition, transition, and community support.
Arne founded the Rites of Passage Institute as a result and for 3 decades has now been taking groups around the world through programs to reintroduce this vital acknowledgement of growth and ceremony and honouring into our lives and the world is better for his work.
I hope you love this conversation as much as I did hosting it. You wonât leave without a thought or two very much provoked, that much I can promise you.
Connect with Arne and his teamâs work at the Rites of Passage Institute to learn more.
