Low Tox Life

I'd like to think that plastic is an apolitical subject. 

None of us want to see our environment or our bodies polluted with this stuff, and so it brings me great pleasure to focus on one of the biggest overlaps of our times: the quest to reduce plastic in our bodies and our environment. We've done a few shows on this over the years, and this week is wonderful.

Let me introduce you to Kal Glanznig. He's a filmmaker, a counsellor in his local government area, and a leading youth ocean and climate champion. He’s also a young man of 25 who got his body tested for phthalate levels due to concerns for future fertility and was shocked to see how high his levels were, as he considered himself having a very healthy nature-focused lifestyle. 

He's created documentaries, Rising Up, back in 2024, and this year just released The Plastic Country. He's a multiple TEDx and UN COP speaker, and he's driven by the motto "Change Happens Locally". In high school, he led a 100 kW solar project, leading to 20 schools to follow suit. This guy is definitely not someone who rests on his laurels. He is here to effect change.

Kal is on a mission to make it clear that if we don't shape the policies that make things truly better at every stage of government, then chances are we just keep going in swings and roundabouts on social media, either trying to raise awareness or trying to complain about how nothing is happening. Join me this week. I think you will be inspired,

Jenny Smith @mouldconsultancy has been an HVAC specialist (heating/ventilation/air conditioning) for decades - she’s had clients from NASA to the biggest commercial property developers and even wrote the manual on A/C split system installation for Australia in the early 2000s. 

And then there was mould and becoming gravely ill to the point she was falling asleep at the wheel and couldn’t walk. She tells that story but also of a pivot to building biology, education and what she’s had build as her home to be well. 

While this show is going to be incredibly inspiring for people who have fallen very ill due to water damage and those nasty types of species that grow in those situations that can really mess with our health and cause multi-system symptom mahem, it’s also for: 

• People who want to learn some of the places we don’t realise need a good clean.
• People who want to learn about some of the design features in modern homes that have caused so many water leaking problems. 
• Dehumidifier tips and tricks including cleaning them

And more. Don’t be overwhelmed by the lengths Jenny has to go for her health when you listen to this week’s show. DO be inspired by her incredible knowledge and some of the things you’ll be able to take away and start doing in your own home.

“Stop and smell the roses” is a familiar phrase, yet today’s guest challenges us to make the “roses” our default mode rather than something we try to remember to do. 

Say What? 

So… If you feel like you’re trying to stand still on ever-moving ground…

Or perhaps, you feel like, on paper, what you’ve achieved should ‘feel more satisfying and less exhausting or lacking’, or that you perhaps don’t deserve to feel content or happy in today’s world, and you find yourself worrying about ‘everything’, then this show is a recommended prescription. 

I recently came across Joe DeNicholas, MBA, LCSW, whose work bridges the worlds of science, secular spirituality, and psychological healing. 

Joe believes it’s not only possible but essential to cultivate and connect more often to our ‘ok-ness’ and so he helps people to do that in his work every day and in his book Unbreakable Wellbeing. 

I felt truly challenged by the idea of even deserving to work on connecting to my ‘ok-ness’ more often before my conversation with Joe; ‘whattabouting’ all the things I find gravely unjust, and worried it would come across as spiritual bypassing to air a show like this, but it turns out: Joe’s approach might just help us make the world a better place. 

We look at our personal barriers, frame ourselves within the big world without losing ourselves, and learn a couple of very simple exercises we can use to reconnect to a trust that we’re ok. 

And that, my lovely listeners, is this week’s show. I know we all need it. Take us for a walk and let yourself trust that you’re ok.

Wow have I got a powerful woman, story and show for us this week. (SA warning)

Kerrie Searle was abused when working in the Victorian Police Force, by a senior leader. The experience, and the road to getting justice, left her with severe PTSD, in hospital and heavily medicated. 

From this awful time came a powerful healing journey that led to Kerrie realising she ‘understood’ animals and could speak with them - she started to understand plants and trees too. 

And so, we talk about abuse, grief, overcoming awful things that happen and how there can be a lot of good life awaiting us in the brave steps along a difficult path - and? If we tune into our intuition. 

If you have found yourself stuck in victim mode, in depression, in patterns or grief that owns you, it’s a very powerful show as Kerrie shares her story. 

It’s also a beautiful show for anyone who loves animals or wants to connect more deeply with the natural world of which we are of course a part - even though we try so hard to fool ourselves otherwise…

I hope you love it,

Catie Gett is a naturopath, author and founder of The Staple Store who has made a radical change to her mission. 

One day, a delivery drive of orders when the courier didn’t come, made her reckon with her younger self who wanted to have a big impact and change the world: This wasn’t changing the world, it was catering to a small group of people who could afford “the best”. 

In this conversation, Catie and I both share, what it’s meant to have to significantly pair back in our own lives for different reasons, and the gift that has come from finding ways to optimise creatively to do health in the most affordable, simple way possible. 

You’ll learn: 

The No.1 Skill that means you can eat nourishing foods, even living below the poverty line. 

The way Catie has transitioned to writing a cook book that includes white flour and sugar, when her ‘5 years ago self’ would have condemned those ingredients. 

The unexpected magic in remembering how simple food and life can be and how accessible the most important health-promoters are to everyone.

The importance of voting with your dollar and buying the best quality produce and ingredients if you can - but the equal importance of relaxing into whatever the ‘best you can’ looks like, too. 

This show is for anyone who’s ever felt pressured to live beyond their means to “do things right” or who feels that they’re failing if they’re not doing ‘all the things’. 

Pull up a pair of head phones and a healing walk in nature and let’s actually change the world, in the different ways each of us can.

Concerned about plastics in the environment? In you? 

Today is the story of how two scientists embarked on a journey to bind plastics so our body excretes them instead of absorbing them. 

Drs. Nicholas Monsul (Yale University & The Johns Hopkins Hospital) and Dr Eva Berkes (Scripts Inst.) are physician-scientists and co-founders of Quorum Innovations, a biotechnology company working with bacteria to achieve extraordinary results. They have an innovative biofilm, postbiotic technology that binds 98% microplastics in the digestive tract with human trial results now live and a recently published paper.

This is the first publication to demonstrate a technology capable of binding plastics to a bacterium in the digestive tract, in humans. The paper is currently under review in the Journal “Frontiers of Microbiology”. 

Very exciting stuff and I can’t wait for you to dive into the show.

This week, I’m joined by Dr Nicole Bijlsma for a deep dive into the invisible threats in our homes and how to minimise risk: mold, electromagnetic fields (EMFs), dust mites, and poor air quality, and how they’re so often missed by doctors and naturopaths alike.

• Nicole shared her powerful story of turning personal health battles into a mission to educate others, emphasising that exposure history is the key to uncovering root causes of chronic illness.
• We tackled the alarming effects of Wi-Fi and baby monitors on sleep, with Nicole’s groundbreaking research showing how even adults are impacted by EMFs: disrupting non-REM sleep and increasing insomnia risk within just seven nights.
• Practical, actionable advice: HEPA vacuums, hard-wired tech, and proper ventilation are non-negotiables, especially in humid climates like Sydney. Nicole also broke down how to manage dust mites, maintain mattresses, and avoid steam cleaning carpets (a hidden mold risk!).
• There’s hope on the horizon: New Work Health and Safety legislation now classifies mold as a biological hazard, giving renters and homeowners stronger rights to demand proper remediation.
• Nicole’s call to action? Educate yourself, document everything, and push back using the right language because your health is worth the fight.

This episode is packed with eye-opening insights and tools to help you create a safer, healthier home. Don’t miss it!

Ever been told “You’re so strong… You’re so resilient” but it feels like you’re not? Well, you could actually just be good at ‘enduring’ and today’s guest wants to help you feel like you can move through difficult chapters and truly feel resilient and strong. 

Dr. Suzan Song is a Harvard- and Stanford-trained psychiatrist and medical anthropologist who has worked with families and people facing crisis around the world. She is the author of Why We Suffer and How We Heal, exploring how narrative and everyday rituals help us build resilience in uncertain times.

You’ll learn:

• What making meaning from difficult experiences or events looks like
• The difference between endurance and resilience
• When to move on from the phase of  ‘this is bad and feels unfair’ 
• How to build a powerful family legacy through generations
• The role of rituals in resilience

And more. I truly hope it helps,

Be prepared to be excited to clean your home. I’m not joking, PJ, this week’s guest will have this effect on you! 

So chill, so relaxed, so non-judgemental about your priorities and situation, yet so incredibly knowledgeable and nerdy when it comes to the finer points of what effectively cleaning parts of your home really entails. 

PJ Harlow is a long time online friend, both having gone through mould illness and become gravely ill due to ongoing hidden exposures. She is an incredible consultant now in the building and remediation space and is also trained in biological and forensic cleaning. 

We cover

• Cleaning tools - tips and tricks for having the right tools for the job. 
• The difference between cleaning and disinfecting
• The level of ‘clean’ you should be aiming for in a regular home
• Engaging professionals to clean your A/C systems - red flag/green flag tips! 
• Dust busting
• Areas in your home you may have missed! 
• Cleaning product ingredientsfor effectiveness - and what to avoid
• Cleaning mould out of clothes

And… somehow even more! 

I hope you love the show - share it with a cleaning friend nerd!

Did you know the ocean contributes at least 50% of the world’s oxygen? 

We often talk about what’s happening on the land in farming on the podcast - but what’s happening in the oceans, in both fishing and farming, also deserves our attention, as Alistair and I tease out in this show - the parralels are striking regarding what’s going on in both globally. 

Alistair Allen has been an activist since he finished high school, working his way up to Captaining a Sea Shepherd ship and is now Antarctic and Marine Campaigner at the Bob Brown Foundation.

He’s also incredibly skilful at explaining the full picture of a ‘bad thing’ and all of the downstream effects harming people, animals and the planet. We talk: 

Krill Fishing and the havoc it is wreaking on Antarctica and beyond

Ocean Current Slowdown and Why This Matters

Factory Farming of Salmon and the devastating impact in Tasmania and globally.

What we can all do to change both consumer habits and lend our signature and voice to these issues. 

I hope you find this helps you understand the “factory fishing and farming” happening in our oceans, looking at these two different, yet connected, issues. I learned SO MUCH.
