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.

This week I have Grace Nui back on the show to dive deeper into Feng Shui and Eastern principles of wellbeing. On an 80minute exploration we dive into the idea that our body is our bodyguard, and how sometimes constant vigilance is an invitation to explore a deeper need for healing. We also talk about chronic presentations, the home, bust myths that everything needs to be a ‘certain facing’ direction for a happy, wealthy, healthy life and look at how we’re being impacted by the stages the world are in and moving to right now, energetically. It’s a fascinating deep dive and show that really helps us make sense of things on not just an individual level but as a collective in the world right now. I adore Grace’s work and we’ve included her website in the shownotes for you. Enjoy the show and head to the show notes for more details over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast

Long Covid. Do you or someone you know still have covid after effects lingering on to varying degrees? Today’s show is for you. With this amount of people experiencing issues - some debilitating - it’s impossible for us to ignore anything that’s proving to be helpful, regardless of our area of training or thinking and I believe it’s holistic health’s time to shine as a true parter to crisis care and come to the rescue. Many of us who’ve had mosquito-borne viruses, biotoxin poisoning, tick borne illness and other often chronic and complicated multi-system conditions are no stranger to long lasting effects of certain exposures and infections. Never in our lifetime though, have hundreds of millions of people caught a virus within the time frame of a couple of years, with the therefore much higher influx within a period of time, of people chronically affected in the aftermath, and so, I have hope that the light will be shone for all who’ve experienced chronic post-viral/exposure issues for decades with little support. Us chronic peeps have often eventually - if privileged enough with the access and means - been driven to explore eastern medicine, naturopathy, chiropractic, homeopathy and more to find ways to improve symptoms and heal, when labs return more or less ‘normal’ and conventional drugs don’t work so we know how many tools can be in the ‘get well kit’ and I’d dearly love for everyone to know how many tools can be in your kit if you do have long covid - don’t lose hope. Many conventional doctors are so heavily regulated that they can’t discuss other options even if you want to so there’s a real opportunity for partnership between types of health professionals here. I have brought us the wonderful Naturopath, Carla Wrenn, specialised in chronic illness and oncology, to discuss the research at the forefront of long covid in the ‘out of the box’ treatment world of holistic healing and nutraceutical support. This show is so needed and I feel grateful to be able to get this information out to the many experiencing issues and debilitating symptoms. Share it far and wide. I hope it’s as helpful a show as I feel it will be and you can head to the show notes for more details over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast

When you think ‘Pelvic floor’ most people either think of women who’ve just given birth or elderly people, but having an unstable pelvic floor can affect us all - that’s including men, so I’ve invited a wonderful physical therapist, Dr Danielle Bailey, who helps thousands in her practice and online, get their pelvic floor in shape and transform all sorts of symptoms that aren’t just about peeing when you don’t want to - although that part is, of course, the biggest reason to get excited - even laugh and cry or sneeze, and be relaxed about it. Right? Danielle is a physical therapist and functional medicine practitioner in Plano Texas, USA, specializing in pelvic floor physical therapy. She supports women and men who experience pelvic floor dysfunction, such as urinary leakage, tailbone pain, frequent restroom breaks, pain with intercourse, and constipation. She also helps women who experience discomfort during pregnancy and postpartum. Danielle works closely with clients to help them discover the root cause of their challenging health issues.
