  • 438. Dr Lewis Ehrlich - Unpacking ‘science’: Bias, nuance, funding, rigour and practice.
    We think we’re so sure about what we know about science - did you know, though, that there are 48 catalogued forms of bias? There exists, and I was excited to learn this, a catalogue of bias that is constantly tweaked and updated. Which leads me to today’s show with Dr Lewis Ehrlich - one of our most popular guests over the years. When I saw Lewis had been accepted into a one-of-a-kind postgraduate program in Evidence-Based Medicine and Healthcare at Oxford University last year, I was already excited about this conversation I knew we’d have for the show once he completed it!What’s brilliant about this program is that you come together with people from outside your medical field - neurosurgeons, Oncologists, Orthopaedic Surgeons, Cardiologists, Public Health PhDs, and general practitioners- to conduct, analyse, critique, and improve scientific literature. It was a tremendous honour to be accepted into and learn at this historic University.We explore science in today’s show, both generally and as it relates to Lewis’s field of practice, dentistry. You’ll hear about:Bias and how we both form them and become more aware of them in our own lives as we explore topicsNuance - it’s all about who you are and what you need, and our system isn’t built for thatThe need to leave our black and white frameworks in medical practice, while also not throwing everything we know out the windowThe fine line between curiosity and analysis, and suspicion and mistrustFluoride as an example - not always essential, not always ‘bad’ either if you consider all relevant factors in a ‘to fluoridate or not’ debateNew frontiers in dental healthWhat we know for sure helps us keep excellent oral health overall.Enjoy the show.

  • 436. Gabriela Rosa - When “health care is too expensive” it’s a public health crisis: Carving the path forward for fertility and other health epidemics.
    Gabriela Rosa realised she was onto something, when her clinic started producing healthy baby after healthy baby in partnership with their patients, when they’d ‘tried everything’ before finding her. That journey has led her to where she is now - in the final throes of her doctorate in Public Health at Harvard University in the USA - also now the epicentre of uncertainty for international students as well as the research funding that many don’t realise benefits millions of people around the world in scientific advancements.On this show, we discuss many aspects to the public health crises playing out in modern day.Fertility challenges and needing to dramatically change the way we support people.Health care access - how we can avoid elitism and the best health care being for the privileged fewArriving at consensus: How is this done? What is involved? Is there the right to question each other in the halls of Harvard?Gabriela Rosa is a fertility specialist, reproductive health educator, and Harvard University-awarded scholar and an accomplished and experienced business leader and entrepreneur. Gabriela created the world’s first entirely virtual and holistic fertility clinic.Enjoy the showYour Host, Alexx StuartWant to learn more about this week’s guest?

    What’s your relationship with the meditative arts? Tried meditation but gave up because of being ‘too busy brained’? Think Tai Chi and Qi Gong is for the elderly only?

  • 434. Dr Elisa Song - Confidently building your holistic toolkit for your child's health
    A treat on the podcast this week as we lift this epic class with @healthykidshappykids renowned paediatrician and author, Dr Elisa Song, out of our Low Tox Kids course vault for you.With empowering knowledge and upgraded habits, we can keep medications for when they really do save the day - we’re lucky to have them, but the aim is to ensure a ‘genuine need’, not ‘quick repeat fix’ if there’s a broader piece to work on for a better long game. I never knew with all my migraines in my late teens/early 20s, that burning through a pack of Paracetamol/Codeine combo pills a month was not a great idea for my liver. I also became resistant to Amoxycillin by 28 with chronic tonsillitis - that’s what led me to naturopathy, learning about immune system strengthening, addressing food intolerances and then going onto look at more day-to-day products and BOOM: Founding the Low Tox Life as a blog in 2009 when I saw how any good-better-best options there were to switch to - and even more now 15 years later!Since 2014 I’ve been bringing incredible experts together in more structured ways of learning for specific goals away from the internet noise. We have 10 courses at Low Tox Life to help support your goals. Our in house practitioner, Lisa Waayer, a naturopath and building biologist, has been hard at work with me these past few months, upgrading our 10 courses to ensure they’re 2025-up-to-date. Low Tox Kids is SO helpful and this class with Dr Elisa Song from the course is a topic that a lot of parents want help with: Confidence in a wider range of tools beyond allergy meds, painkillers/fever-reducers and antibiotics for our kids when appropriate. A physician’s guidance is here to help - as powerful and helpful as it was when we recording this for the Low Tox Kids course 7 years ago!Other shows I’ve done with Dr Elisa Song:Immune Health in KidsThe Allergy Epidemic in KidsConnect with Dr Elisa:WebsiteInstagramThank you to this month’s show partners for joining us to help you make your low tox swaps!@ausclimate is our major partner giving you 10% off their range for the whole of 2025, with brilliant Winix Air Purifiers, the best Dehumidifiers I’ve ever used and their new energy-efficient heating, air-circulating and cooling range. code LOWTOXLIFE (also works over and above their sales - pro tip!) https://bit.ly/ShopAusclimateJoin me on InstagramWant to support the Low Tox Life podcast?Free option: Leave a 5 star review wherever you listen to Low Tox Life - thanks SO much!Paid + Member PERKS: Join the Low Tox Club - packed with perks - Check it out and join here for just the price of a coffee per month!

About Low Tox Life

Hello! Welcome to the Low Tox Life podcast - the place to bring your low tox life to life across all low tox pillars: Food. Body. Home. Mind. Planet. We cover it all to support you and your goals with some of the best minds in the world joining me each week. I'm Alexx Stuart, your host, and in 2009 I coined the term 'low tox' and started lowtoxlife.com. From there I've created 10 courses and had 2 books published (Low Tox Life and Low Tox Life FOOD; I've written countless research articles and recipes to inspire a low tox life. I am thrilled to bring this podcast to you as an extension of the online community, filled with multi-passionate people from around the world. The concept of living a Low Tox Life is one that rejects perfection, black and white notions of there only being one way to 'do it right'. Instead, we take a relaxed and curious approach to better choices to incorporate into our lives as and if they fit. Low Tox therefore instead of 'no tox' as people come together from all walks of life; from cities to regional and remote areas to work from our overlaps and all be part of the many solutions toward healthy people and planet. Forget wasting time feeling bad about what you're not doing or you didn't know yesterday. Let's feel awesome about what we can learn and do from today! Thanks for being here. I just know you'll be inspired as I am by each show.
