This week is all about taking action on food waste - which, if it was a country it would be the 3rd largest emitter behind China and the USA - It’s a BIG deal and instead we seem to keep focusing on what’s on the plate instead of what’s in the BIN! Hannah Churton literally lives to make people feel confident about bringing worm farming or composting solutions into your life and in this show we discuss best options for a range of home styles - including apartments without balconies - and we also discuss barriers to entry, hiccups when getting started and common trouble shoots and what to do. I hope you love it as much as I did. I took extra good care of my worms this week, remembering just how important a job they did, after speaking with Hannah.

Julia Edgely joined us on the show recently to dive into the world of homeopathy, its history, the theory, the significance of different strengths of remedies and the ways homeopathy can be a big player in your life. Today’s show is actually a Low Tox Club member masterclass, which we run each month for our members, that - because it was just so useful and powerful when it comes to viral and bacterial infections - I felt compelled for everyone who listens to the show to get access to it as well, as well as giving you a window into what our masterclasses are like. In today’s show, we dive into the details of viral and bacterial infections and what remedies you need in your kit to deal with the onset and treatment of the infection at hand - we even go into the significance of different presentations of SNOT and what it tells us/what remedy we might need. We also cover red flags for when doctor/emergency care is warranted. It’s so useful and I’ve already expanded my homeopathic kit accordingly - I know you will too. To join the Low Tox Club you can go to lowtoxlife.com and hit the explore tab and you’ll see “join the club” as your first option. For more details on today’s show you can head to the podcast page.

Do you dislike cooking? What if a few simple tips, tricks, utensil hacks or simple mindset shifts could make your experience in the kitchen altogether more enjoyable and cost you less time and money in the process of getting food on the table? Today’s show will help as I have this uplifting conversation with Alice Zaslavsky about the power of the salad spinner (I’m not joking - listen and believe!) and so much more. If we can help just one person out there go ‘yay, what to cook tonight, I’ll have a rummage’ then it’s job done. Her new book “The Joy of Cooking” is an indispensable kitchen tool and we dive into a few highlights from it throughout the show. In the space of a decade, Alice Zaslavsky has gone from high-school Humanities and English teacher to one of the country’s most authoritative and exciting media stars and taste-makers, with an internationally award-winning and bestselling cookbook “In Praise of Veg”. I hope you enjoy the chat and you can get more details in the show notes at lowtoxlife.com/podcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast.

On this show, I have a conversation about what it feels like to have a little-understood and vastly under-supported illness due to mould toxicity and I do that with a fellow Aussie who’s been through it as well, Corbin. We are super open about what it’s been like along the way - the good, the bad, the ugly, the silver linings and the constant challenges. We don’t hold back. When Aussie, Corbin Halliday – working as a hairdresser at the time - was diagnosed with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), the result of unwitting exposure to mycotoxins from black mould, he was suffering from serious health complications such as chronic migraines, high blood pressure and nerve pains. After being diagnosed with CIRS, Corbin was motivated to adopt a lifestyle free of chemicals, including toxic-free skincare. He researched all of the products he was using and realised there was a gap in the market for organic and toxic-free skincare and self-tanning products – hence Three Warriors was born, which has developed into a multi-million $ Aussie brand coveted by celebrities and lots of people in the low tox community.

This week on the show, naturopath Carla Wrenn is back on the show discussing her speciality: Adjunct naturopathic care in oncology treatment and beyond. We talk about how she came to specialise in cancer, what it is like to establish a collaborative spirit with Oncologists, how a patient can feel empowered in the process of making changes and navigating options and the importance of mind/body practices. We discuss some of the research that shows some things to be very supportive for treatment, side effects and quality of life, as well as different dietary approaches suiting different cancers. It’s fascinating and hopeful and I hope you or a loved one finds it helpful if this is something you’re working through right now.

Curious to know more about homeopathy works? In today’s show, we dive right in with Julia Edgely. We focus on history, practice and a couple of simple home remedies we can work with ourselves, as well as knowing red flag signs of when you need professional help or emergency physician care. I also ask her what her desert Island remedy is and why - it’s a goodie and I’ve already ordered it! Julia Edgely is an internationally practising and licensed homeopath.  She treats a very wide range of patients but in certain cases, she saw a distinct pattern. Overuse of unnecessary antibiotics leads to pathologies sometimes years down the road. This led her to develop her signature method, The ABC Method which has helped hundreds of individuals and families eliminate unnecessary antibiotics use.  She believes education and knowledge is the key to helping her patients embrace their wellness journey.

Andy Pace, Healthy Home Concierge and Founder of The Green Design Center, is back already. Our first show together was fantastic, looking at some of the disconnects between choosing building styles and materials and their impact on human health - seems to be we’re building for a very narrow success metric of energy saving while ignoring indoor humidity and mould growth potential. Add to that sloppier and more lax building codes in many places around the world where waterproofing isn’t done properly or wooden frames are filled over while still wet, and there are disasters waiting to happen - sometimes within just a year or two of the build being completed. But what if we could learn, step by step from the location to the ground and up, every facet of what makes a healthy home? Well, in today’s show we have a red hot go at doing just that. This show, while being a dream for someone considering building their home, is brilliant for renters and owners alike with the bounty of information Andy provides us in this show - we become more literate at spotting pitfalls before living in them! Yes, please. These are life skills we’re learning here and I’m thrilled to bring this show to you as well as Andy’s globally renowned expertise!

Thyroid struggles? This show is where you need to be then for the next 70 minutes. I am thrilled to have back on the show Dr Eric Balcavage, a relentless crusader in thyroid health education and long-term root-causes-based healing. He is one of the duo that has written a new book called The Thyroid Debacle, the co-author also being a past show guest, Dr Kelly Halderman. Kelly Halderman, a conventionally trained and practised physician was hit by two chronic health conditions, one being MS and through her trusting that something more could be done than what she was being told was her lot in life, discovered functional medicine and hasn’t looked back. Eric, seeing sick patient after patient that no amount of spinal adjustments could support for long-term healing in his chiropractic practice felt the same. And so, thanks to these two Drs broadening their understanding of what helps humans achieve homeostasis and lasting improved health, and practising with and educating thousands around the world, we have a powerhouse tackling a thyroid-illness epidemic and having read the book myself I can honestly say I know just how impactful it will be for people to read it and practice what they learn from its pages. Today isn’t all about the book though, as we explore thyroid testing, what gaps there are in current treatments, how you can be on meds and still feel awful and so much more.
