About this show:

If you oscillate between pushing yourself and your community to do more to reduce your plastic consumption while also being frustrated that governments aren’t doing more to regulate plastic production and make more plastics recyclable on a big scale, today is the show for you. Meet our guest, Lottie Dalziel.

Lottie Dalziel started Banish in 2018 with a simple idea: give people a place to bring the things their kerbside bin couldn’t take – hard-to-recycle items like old pens, bottle caps, soft plastics and coffee pods that would otherwise end up in landfill. In 2023, Banish opened its sustainability hub in Sydney’s Haymarket.

That idea grew into one of Australia’s most recognised sustainability stores and the home of BRAD, the Banish Recycling and Diversion Program. In 2024 alone, BRAD diverted over one million pieces of plastic waste from landfill.

Lottie is on a mission: No time for doom and guilt. Just practical information and specific things people can actually do.

She has been recognised as NSW Young Australian of the Year, named in Forbes’ 30 Under 30, and has spoken at TEDx, corporates, schools and community events across Australia. Her book, 365 Ways to Save The Planet & Your Money At The Same Time, continues that same approach.

I hope you enjoy the show.

Show #493. Lottie Dalziel and ‘BRAD’ – Saving millions of plastic items from landfill and inspiring you to join the movement! | Low Tox Life

About this show:

As we scroll on socials, we are bombarded with all kinds of reasons that screen time is having negative impacts on our lives – from polarisation to self consciousness and comparison as well as eye sight. In today’s show with Dr. Meenal Agarwal, an eye doctor, we talk about so much more, when it comes to the effect of spending so much of our time on screens, aka “near focus” or “near work”.

She talks us through the different areas of the brain and what’s happening. She shares a deeply personal story of what happened to her, as well as the things she’s seen in clinic that led her to deep dive into the research so that she could clearly explain just how far-reaching the effects of near focus predominance are.

Dr. Meenal Agarwal is a board-certified optometrist, spatial awareness expert, and leading authority on the eye-brain connection. She coined the term Spatial Awareness Processing Disorder (SAPD) to describe how screen-heavy, modern lifestyles can disrupt the brain’s ability to judge distance, track motion, and navigate real-world space, bringing attention to the effects of digital overload on focus, safety, and presence while offering practical, prevention-focused solutions.

Join us for the motivation you’ll need, to mix up your focus throughout your days and ditch those screens a little more often!

About Dr. Meenal Agarwal

Show #492. The many effects of our screen-heavy world that you hadn’t thought of yet, with Dr. Meenal Agarwal | Low Tox Life

About this show:

Many people experience fatigue in their lives. Many people experience issues with their iron levels. It’s one of those Goldilocks nutrients. We don’t want it too high or too low, and we definitely want it effectively absorbed to the level we need to make the most of it in our bodies for our energy and a whole bunch of other processes.

We had two podcasts on iron last year. One of those was with Rebecca Edwards, naturopath and practitioner lecturer. It was the kind of podcast that leaves you wanting more.

I reached out to Rebecca, and we held a masterclass in our Low Tox Club complete with Q&As, live blood panel assessments that members sent in for analysis, and Rebecca guiding us with questions to ask your practitioner. We looked also at key players that affect iron levels are not about the relationship of how much iron you’re getting in your diet, but about how hormones, the gut microbiome, the gut lining and various changes in someone’s life can all be factors for issues with iron levels.

I made this master class into a podcast so that you could benefit from growing your literacy on iron in your own health, given how many people do.

Enjoy the show. Definitely listen to the first show that we did with Rebecca last year. It’s not completely a prerequisite, but it will definitely be helpful to listen to both.

If you have issues around fatigue or iron right now in your own life, you are in for a very supportive treat.

Show #491. Rebecca Edwards: IRON Part 2 – Unpacking iron with real situation examples | Low Tox Life

About this show:

I’m going to suggest that the best 50 minutes you can spend this week is listening to this week’s show with Jeremy Pollack @pollackpeacebuilding who believes we are wired for peace.

Jeremy Pollack, Ph.D. is a social-organisational psychologist, leader in the field of workplace conflict resolution and peacebuilding and author of WIRED FOR PEACE. He is the Founder of Pollack Peacebuilding Systems, an international conflict resolution consulting firm. He is also a co-founder and chairman of the Peaceful Leadership Institute, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit dedicated to promoting the model and theory of Peaceful Leadership.

Because he has a PhD in neuroscience, he has a shed ton of evidence to back that up, in his book “Wired for Peace”. He has years of experience helping all kinds of communities and business structures be more peacemaking and peaceful, even within hierarchies which aren’t inherently ‘bad’.

These are the sorts of conversations that can help us reflect on what’s going on inside of us; figure out what’s happening in our own little corners; and make peacebuilding and peacemaking possible, so we can all start to benefit from the ripple effects of that local work.

LOVE these sorts of explorations, and I hope you love this one,

Show #490. How you are wired for peace with Jeremy Pollock | Low Tox Life

About this show:

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,

Show #489. Kal Glanznig: Plastic burdens biology – ours and our planets’: It’s time to lock in POLICY to lift the burden. | Low Tox Life

About this show:

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.

Show #488. Meet Jenny Smith, taken down by mould: Now an expert building biologist living in a ‘bubble home’. | Low Tox Life

About this show:

“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.

Show #487. Can we feel unbreakable in a shaky world? Therapist Joe DeNicholas believes that we MUST and shows us how. | Low Tox Life

About this show:

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,

Show #486. From PTSD to Renowned animal communicator: Kerrie Searle with a story of resilience, hope and an invitation to connect to your intuition | Low Tox Life

About this show:

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.

Show #485. The surprise gift that came from naturopath Catie Gett living below the poverty line | Low Tox Life

About this show:

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.

Show #484. Nanoplastics: 2 Drs on the quest to help us bind and excrete them with Drs Eva Berkes and Nicholas Monsul | Low Tox Life

About this 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!

About Dr Nicole Bijlsma

Dr Nicole Bijlsma has spent the past 25 years investigating health hazards in the home, much of which she shares on her website. This work has taken a significant amount of time and dedication and, for much of her journey, has been a labour of love that ultimately resulted in the first edition of her book in 2012 – Healthy Home Healthy Family.

Like many others navigating unexplained fertility struggles, Dr Bijlsma became frustrated that nobody could help her understand why she and her partner couldn’t start a family. They spent thousands of dollars seeking advice from health practitioners all over the country, to no avail. However, as she began to unravel the timing of events, it became immediately obvious that their health had declined when they moved into their home – poor sleep and fatigue initially, followed by multiple miscarriages.

At the same time, several of her patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the 1990s were asking about mould in their homes. Could there be a connection? As Dr Bijlsma waded through the research on chemicals in household products, electromagnetic fields and allergens like mould, it began to dawn on her that our homes could, in fact, be making us sick.

Show #483. Preventing common health hazards in your home with Dr Nicole Bijlsma | Low Tox Life

About this show:

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,
