Low Tox Living: Daily Swaps That Actually Make a Difference with Alexx Stewart | Wellness Unlocked

Join host Maha Corbett with special guest Alexx Stuart – founder of Low Tox Life – as they unpack what it really means to live a low-tox life in a world where chemicals are everywhere. From food, water and plastics to perfume, candles, cleaning products and bedding, Alexx shows you how to lower your toxic load in simple, realistic ways – without spiralling into fear or perfectionism. ✓ What a “low-tox life” actually is – and why it’s about reducing overall load, not aiming for “chemical-free” ✓ Why toxins are now unavoidable globally – and how to focus on biggest bang for your buck changes instead of trying to fix everything ✓ Alexx’s health story: chronic tonsillitis, antibiotics that stopped working, a naturopath who actually asked questions – and how removing gluten changed everything ✓ How food led her into beauty, personal care & home – and why she coined the term “low tox” (and didn’t trademark the phrase so others could use it) ✓ The huge gap in chemical testing – why most man-made chemicals are not tested thoroughly (or in combination) before they hit the market ✓ Glyphosate, sprays & coatings – what might be happening to your food long before you pick it up at the supermarket ✓ Why “real food is hard” is a myth we’ve been sold – and how to flip your trolley from mostly packaged → mostly produce ✓ How branding kids’ food wires lifelong habits – from lunchbox treats to “I’ve had a stressful day, I need a Tim Tam” ✓ Why bottled water in soft plastic is a major source of microplastics – and how heat, transport and storage make it worse ✓ Alexx’s #1 low-tox swap: filtered tap water (for your cells and the planet) ✓ Synthetic fragrance & phthalates – the chemicals that make scents “last all day” and why they’re a hormone-disruption red flag ✓ Hidden fragrance sources – perfumes, candles, air fresheners, fabric softener, toilet cleaners and “fresh” sprays ✓ How to simplify cleaning like our grandmothers: castile soap, bicarb, lemon, vinegar & less “specialty” products ✓ Pillows, bedding & mattresses – why what you sleep on matters, and how to upgrade to natural fibres without doing everything at once ✓ The low-tox mantra: “We do what we do most of the time so we can go with the flow some of the time.” Whether you’re low-tox curious or already deep in the journey, this episode will help you feel empowered, not overwhelmed – and give you clear starting points that actually make a difference. Mentioned Practices & Ideas ✓ Low-tox, not “no-tox” – focusing on reducing exposure instead of chasing impossible purity ✓ Trolley percentage check – noticing how much of your shop is packaged vs fresh produce, and slowly flipping the ratio ✓ Simple food swaps – packet snacks → fruit + cheese; commercial chocolate → high-cacao options with fewer additives ✓ Start where you eat most – upgrading the foods you go through fastest (like carrots, apples, berries) to better quality first ✓ Filtered tap water – investing in a good water filter and reusable bottles instead of relying on single-use plastic water ✓ Reducing soft plastics – choosing glass or sturdier packaging where possible and avoiding hot-stored bottled drinks ✓ Fragrance awareness – switching to fragrance-free or essential-oil scented products for cleaning, laundry and personal care ✓ Home fragrance swaps – trading plug-ins, aerosol sprays and heavily scented candles for beeswax candles and fresh air (hello, open windows) ✓ Simple cleaning toolkit – castile soap, bicarb soda, lemon, vinegar, borax and a good-quality multipurpose concentrate like Sal Suds ✓ Bedding upgrades over time – replacing old pillows with natural fibres (latex, wool, cotton, bamboo) and choosing natural sheets when next on sale SWIISH Shop wellness, beauty & lifestyle: https://www.swiish.com/ FOLLOW   / swiish     / sallyobermeder     / maha_corbett   This Week's Guest: Alexx Stuart – Founder, Low Tox Life:   / lowtoxlife   #SWIISH #WellnessUnlocked #podcast #lowtox
