About this listen

Hello! Welcome to the Low Tox Life podcast - the place to bring your low tox life to life across all low tox pillars: Food. Body. Home. Mind. Planet. We cover it all to support you and your goals with some of the best minds in the world joining me each week. I'm Alexx Stuart, your host, and in 2009 I coined the term 'low tox' and started lowtoxlife.com. From there I've created 10 courses and had 2 books published (Low Tox Life and Low Tox Life FOOD; I've written countless research articles and recipes to inspire a low tox life. I am thrilled to bring this podcast to you as an extension of the online community, filled with multi-passionate people from around the world. The concept of living a Low Tox Life is one that rejects perfection, black and white notions of there only being one way to 'do it right'. Instead, we take a relaxed and curious approach to better choices to incorporate into our lives as and if they fit. Low Tox therefore instead of 'no tox' as people come together from all walks of life; from cities to regional and remote areas to work from our overlaps and all be part of the many solutions toward healthy people and planet. Forget wasting time feeling bad about what you're not doing or you didn't know yesterday. Let's feel awesome about what we can learn and do from today! Thanks for being here. I just know you'll be inspired as I am by each show. Enjoy, subscribe, pop the kettle on and most importantly: Welcome!

  • 448. Eat 2 venison steaks a year to save the environment? The opportunity in addressing invasive species, with Tara Medina
    Aug 28 2025

    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:


    • Why Invasive species are destructive to environments and farms
    • How big the opportunity is if eaters increase their consumption of venison and if Australia markets it for export.
    • Why real change is going to happen by first focusing on YUMMY FOOD and accessible messaging for people - meat pies, sausage rolls and dim sum!
    • What different countries are doing to address invasive species
    • How we can all be a part of the solution!


    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

  • Show 447. The Biology of Trauma: Uncover, Understand, and Heal with Dr. Aimie Apigian
    Aug 21 2025

    Trauma: Have you read books full of all the reasons why trauma is linked to disease but felt a crucial piece missing?


    What to actually DO?


    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.
