Low Tox Life is for anybody who wants to help the environment, from joining the war against plastic, to using planet friendly cleaning products, eating environmentally friendly, and low tox every day care.
Ever stopped to read the list of ingredients in the products you use every day? Or maybe you’re confused by what those ingredients actually are and whether they are good for you? Low Tox Life, by activist and educator Alexx Stuart, gently clears a path through the maze of mass-market ingredient cocktails, providing simple alternatives to the unknown nasties found in everyday products.
Focusing on four key areas: Body, Home, Food and Mind, Low Tox Life, is your non-judgmental handbook to limiting the toxic load, for you, your family and the planet. At the forefront of the low tox movement, Alexx shares the latest science and advice from experts in each area, and tackles everything from endocrine-disruptors in beauty products to going low plastic in a high-plastic world, and how to clean without a hint of harmful toxins and avoid the products that are masquerading as non-toxic.
To get you started, Low Tox Life shows you how to create low tox household and personal products, like dry shampoo, oven cleaner and even a head lice treatment; recipes for delicious low tox family feasts; and tips for navigating ‘greenwashing’, ethical shopping, reducing food waste and low toxing your mind. Alexx also shares her story of the health crisis that inspired her dramatic shift to a low tox life.
You don’t need to be a full-time homesteader with a cupboard full of organic linens to go low tox. Start small, switching or ditching one nasty at a time, and enjoy the process as a positive one for you and the planet.

Contents Of Low Tox Life

Introduction

Change has to feel good. It can be challenging, sure, but to be sustainable, it has to feel good. And so I’ve inadvertently made it my job to help people explore change in their own lives, when it comes to being curious about how and why to lower their daily toxic load and get closer to nature in this busy modern world, and then helping them go about doing that practically – for their body, home, food and mind. To that end, I’d love to welcome you officially to this book – a bit of a bumper starter pack, if you will – on how to live a low tox life.

Chapter 1 Low Tox Life

Why is today the day to go low tox? Don’t our bodies deal with toxins anyway, processing and excreting them through our sweat, eyes, ears, nose, lymphatic system, kidneys, liver, pee and poop? Yes, but to a point. The thinking on why so much is going haywire with our health today is that we simply haven’t evolved to be able to cope with the sheer number of toxins we now need to filter. Our environment isn’t coping too well, either.

Chapter 2 Low Tox Body

Let me ask you this, thinking about a couple of the ingredients that are actually in these products: have you ever dreamed of rubbing petroleum derivatives and silicone on your face with a dusting of some of the nonstick particles from your frying pan and a splash of endocrine-disruptive compounds, thinking ‘Yum’? Just what your dull skin needed, right?

Chapter 3 Low Tox Home

It’s our right to feel safest in our own house, and this pillar of the Low Tox Life is about bringing a beautiful sense of what’s good and true into our homes, and letting go of what’s not. It’s all about your priorities, and there’s no perfect way to do low tox other than your way.

Chapter 4 Low Tox Food

How far we’ve strayed … And yet how simple it is to return home to Mother Nature. Enlightening, isn’t it, that things have drifted so far from what our bodies understand? It comes right back to that inconvenient truth about socalled convenience. They told us we didn’t have time. They told us they could do it cheaper for us, in convenient long-life packaging. They told us we were smart, modern people now, so food prep was beneath us. It was a chore we could be liberated from. But at what cost?

Chapter 5 Low Tox Mind

Given our state of mind isn’t something we can ‘see’ or can tick off as ‘done’, it can be overlooked on our low tox journey. But I’ll tell you, I’ve seen a heck of a lot of green smoothie-drinking, natural-cosmetics-loving friends in a constant state of stress. I’ve seen people who eat organic or some other ‘healthy’ way and look after their skin with natural beauty but have anxious, obsessive tendencies.
