Confused by endless internet information, mixed messages and pseudo 'clean' products and wondering how to make a great choice?
Go Low Tox is your unlimate, instant/lifetime access, self-paced course with all the information you need to make the best swaps for your health and the planet in your everyday life Alexx x
What is "Go Low Tox"?
It's the course to take your desire to live a low tox, sustainable life, and make it a reality in an empowering, encouraging way - no fear, shame or guilt allowed! Whether you're in the city or regional, Australia or overseas, whether you've already made a few changes or you are a curious newbie, over 8000 students have taken this journey since 2014 to improve their health and that of our planet. The ripple effect these students have had over the years influencing more people in their circles is priceless.
While the benefits look different from person to person, here are the most common benefits students have experienced as a result of doing the course over the years, as shared in their exit survey, once they've completed it:
- happier lives and a feeling that they're more connected to what really matters
- time, overwhelm and money saved trying to figure out how to make great choices in their day to day lives
- health benefits from minor to major, including headaches and or migraines diminished/gone, fewer hayfever-like reactions, reduced/eliminated eczema/psoriasis/dermatitis/hives, a healthier cycle with more regularity and less PMS/PMDD symptoms, and even several couples finally able to get pregnant and have bubbas! Once, I was invited to one of my student's babies' first birthday - one of the highlights of my life!
- less addiction to 'stuff' and seeking out the new and exciting all the time - just as happy filling the cup up with some grounding in the park or a beach walk with a friend.
- hours saved from draining internet searches and Instagram scrolling for 'the right product' or tip - it's all in one place for easy reference and quick recommendations for you to start finding your favourite low tox solution.
What will you experience in doing the course, I wonder? Can't wait to find out!
You get instant access to the 22 topics and if you opt-in for the special offer of $20 for your first year of low tox club membership when you check out (it will pop up for you), you will have access to a monthly Q&A with me Alexx, in there as well as a brilliant brains trust to call on when you're wondering about something or need advice.
Take a look at some of the topics below for more details. My goal is that by the time you've made your way through the course, you are your own low tox ninja, no longer needing a guru to 'know all the things' because YOU do!
If you fancy reading more about all the topics, taking a course tour and hearing from alumni, read on. If you're already thinking "I totally need this to make everything easier for me in the minefield that's out there, then you can grab the course and have instant access to everything! Alexx x

I'm the course creator - Alexx Stuart.
I founded Low Tox Life in 2010 and since 2014, I've run and built this course to be the best way to go low tox. My job is to take all the confusion out and making the process of going Low Tox an empowering, simple and exciting one for you. Late 2022, we've turned it into an instant-access course recognising that people want to jump into the topics you want NOW and not wait till 'week 3' so it's all there for you instantly, when and where you need it.
I'm a passionate educator in the health space and a health coach and have interviewed over 400 scientists, doctors and practitioners over the past decade to ensure that the information in our courses and on our podcast (The Low Tox Life Podcast) is research-backed and fact-based for your health and our beautiful planet. I work with many doctors, naturopaths, scientists and experts in their fields to take dense information and research that can overwhelm, and make it simple to understand and use in your own life instantly - no matter who you are, or where you are, no matter what your budget or time frame. In 5 weeks as your personal coach, you come out at the end empowered and with enough knowledge to be able to make a great choice for the rest of your life, anywhere in the world. That's a promise.

HERE ARE SOME CRAZY FACTS THAT SUPPORT
NOW BEING THE TIME TO GO LOW TOX ...
- It is thought now by many scientists that the class of chemicals that are 'hormone disruptors', contribute to early puberty, low sperm counts, elevated risk of breast cancer and reproductive cancer, endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome. You'll know what they are and what to swap to in no time!
- In a study commissioned by environmental group (EWG) in 2009, high levels of 200 chemicals were found in the cord blood of the 10 U.S. infants tested - our chemical loads are being passed on. It is SO easy for us after a few months of learning the low tox language, to change this for future bubs.
- Most of the chemicals found in home cleaning and personal care products, have not been tested independently for safety. Get this: THey don't have to disclose their ingredients due to being 'proprietary ingredient blends'. Secrecy doesn't fly for the low tox shopper!
- Much of our leading convenience cookware is full of harmful stuff that never breaks down in the environment AND can cause flu like symptoms.
- Most red lipsticks contain lead and most make up and skin care contains some form of petroleum or hormone disruptor.
- The #1 antibacterial agent used in the world today, has been found to contribute to thyroid issues and be potentially harmful to the lungs, as well as being a chemical that doesn't break down and therefore bioaccumulates in our oceans. You will no longer be contributing to these problems. How good does that feel?
FAQs
Still have questions? Good, it sounds like you are already a discerning, fact-driven Low Toxer already! Let’s get them all out here. I will attempt to mind read.
- Is this just all a bit hippy trippy, happy clappy, peace, love and mung beans baby?
Low Toxers are a very savvy bunch. They know what they want, and they care about themselves, their loved ones, and the environment. Low Toxers also want a bucket load of research to quantify the changes they make. They don’t just read a headline and make a life change or assume the worst. Rightly so. So we connect over hippy themes, but we’re from all over - in apartments, on farms, tiny houses, country towns and skyscrapers and the change we make and create is evidence-based. - What if I don’t want to ditch everything that is toxic – erm, hair colour for example?
This is really important to stress: There is no guilt here. At all. And? I cannot stress enough that the vibe is that YOU choose what you want to take onboard. It's all about empowerment, NOT prescription! So just go at your pace and focus on what matters to you, topic-wise. Your pace. Your Way. Zero guilt - You will hear this from me A LOT. And there are even hair colour recommendations that are lower tox! - I've never heard of Low Tox Life before. Is it legit?
Totally understandable, the internet is the wild ether these days. You will be a part of the 14th group, joining over 6000 past students from 49 countries around the world. Feel free to check out my 12-year-old website, lowtoxlife.com for over 500 posts and recipes inspiring positive change for people and planet and our amazing community online on Facebook and Instagram - What can I personally expect from this experience?
I don’t say this lightly: This course has transformed the lives of thousands of people. After all, we are talking about you, your health, your lifestyle choices – and the impact they can all make on you as a person and that we make on the planet. - I already use 'green' brands for cleaning and skin care. Why should I do this course?
Most common chat thread by day 4? "Oh my gosh I thought I was buying GREEN. SO upset" or "wow didn't realise how much more I had to learn". If you're ready to go to the next level, this course will join all the dots for you. You won't be had by 'fake green brands' ever again and you'll have deep enough knowledge to make your own decisions on products moving forward. - Is this course suitable for USA/Canada/UK residents or other overseas residents?
The information and learnings from each topic can be applied to anywhere in the world. I prefer to give you the tools to make great judgment calls, no matter where you are, rather than spoon-feed lists without a deeper understanding as to why we're making new choices. Given I’m based in Australia, the majority of the resources for 'swaps' are Australian, yes. BUT - I’ve done 3 research trips over the years to gather as many resources as I can for both the UK and the USA so I’m super pleased to say, that US / UK references appear throughout.
Don't waste another minute not knowing about this stuff. You deserve the best natural option. Your family does. The planet does. Simple as that!
See you there! Alexx x

Testimonials from some of our amazing course alumni - and you'll get to meet them all when you become alumni, with the 'Low Tox Lifer' premium course option!
The bonds formed between people in the private group blew me away. Co-ops were started, shared shipping costs on items, DIY ‘parties’ and meet ups at local cafes. It was truly awesome to see the friendships formed and the support given within the private group. It took everything I’d planned for the course, to a whole new level of meaning. Not to be ‘woo woo’ or anything, but we’re a big virtual family now, and I urge you if budget permits, to join me as a "low tox lifer", with the premium course enrollment plan.
"For years, I have wanted to make these changes but have been too bogged down in junk and rubbishy products to allow the shift – the ‘big cull’ has finally happened and I couldn’t be more proud!" - Alexis D
"You have changed my world. I find myself looking forward to checking out what my low tox warrior buddies are up to in this wonderful group!" – Chantelle L
"I have been on a huge mission to declutter this week and I feel so much ‘lighter’. I thought initially that I would end up spending heaps more money on new organic products etc, but we have actually been spending less. I don’t feel the need to buy stuff and I also question wants vs needs. I’m making 90% of our cleaning products and I don’t impulse by any cosmetics, fragrances etc anymore. I feel so liberated!"– Rachel M
"Thank you for putting together such a program. Accessible, non-judgmental and SO informative. Well overdue!" – Helen S
"You are a godsend. No way could I get my head around all this alone. Love all the info from you and everyone involved. It is a big tangled spider web out there. Finally, some of the web is 'untangling." – Carolyn B
"What a blessing to be getting this information at this particular time so I can do my best to create the most natural and toxin-free environment around me and my family from the very beginning…. What I’m appreciating so much is the factual and no-nonsense basis to this course…. I can see the things we’re talking about are based on research and expert opinion, and I’m so grateful to have this source of information so I can make more informed choices and positive changes in my life. These changes really are achievable and easy to implement and it feels like there is such a feeling of positive energy to this process thanks to Alexx’s relaxed and encouraging approach. Also, I’m so glad it’s really affordable as if it had been at a higher price point I probably wouldn’t have joined this journey – but I’m soooo glad I did." – Angela L
"We’re having a baby. You’ve quite literally changed our lives in a way we never thought was going to be possible." – Anon (They went on to have a healthy baby girl, and this is one of eight successful pregnancies after years of trying, reported from the course alumni. I can't make medical claims of course, but science shows that lowering our toxic load definitely has positive impacts on our fertility for both men and women)
