In this episode, we chat to Alexx Stuart about her experience dealing with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) due in part to mould exposure. Alexx Stuart is an educator and change agent who founded Low Tox Life in 2010 after seeing the lack of transparency in our food system, personal care and cleaning products. She’s built a movement that’s non-judgmental, positive and says low tox peeps are a force to be reckoned with! A columnist for Wellbeing magazine, she is also a sought-after speaker and consultant to businesses committing to change for good.

Dealing with behavioural issues in children can be SO difficult for parents…especially when you just know that there is more to it then difficult behaviour. For some parents like Mel, this can lead to pressure from the school for a diagnosis, and decisions being made and labels being selected for your child that you don’t necessarily agree with. In this episode Mel shares with us how she held back that pressure whilst she did everything in her power to resolve her sons behavioural issues through diet, and she succeeded! This is another incredibly inspiring healing story.
