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!

    473. Finally hopeful when it comes to depression - Dr. James Greenblatt’s wish for everyone.
    Mar 22 2026
    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. He is the founder of Psychiatry Redefined practice, and of Finally Living, a precision functional psychiatry clinic online for children and adults. I hope you love this highly practical and thought-provoking show on depression - so important.

  • 472. What is safe? River, Ground, Tank and Ocean water and PFAS “Forever chemicals” with water scientist, Professor Ian Wright

    472. What is safe? River, Ground, Tank and Ocean water and PFAS “Forever chemicals” with water scientist, Professor Ian Wright
    Mar 15 2026

    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:


    • Different water types and levels found - Tank, Ground, Ocean, Damns and Fresh water.
    • Emergency and military activities and how they impact PFAS levels
    • Common ways we can at least minimise our personal risk everyday
    • The extent of the issue, largely being a repeated ‘kick down the road’ policy choice


    I hope you tune in and find this show helpful for understanding this pervasive chemical and how we change things.
