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

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.

Mental Health - The more we know, the more overwhelmed and confused we are?

That’s not how it’s supposed to be. Enter Dr Katelyn Kalstein and this powerful conversation I had the privilege of hosting.

Dr. Kalstein, a naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist, psychotherapist and ketamine-assisted therapist on the cutting edge of integrative treatments, practicing in Nashville in the USA.

From her personal journey with psychedelics to pioneering work with ketamine-assisted therapy, to her deep understanding of the many factors that play into health, Dr. Kalstein offers a nuanced perspective on resilience, trauma, and the complex interplay between mind and body.

This eye-opening conversation challenges common misconceptions about mental health while exploring both traditional and emerging approaches to healing, exploring all tools available.

Whether you're struggling yourself or simply curious about the latest developments in mental wellness, this episode is a must-listen that will expand your understanding and leave you with practical insights to apply in your own life and for your kids as they grow.

Thanks for being here,

Alexx Stuart, Your Host, lowtoxlife.com founder.

Welcome to an hour of Eco-Optimism with my guest, author and ecologist of 30 years, Simon Mustoe, where we unpack stories to restore your faith in what’s possible.
