Ok, so I'm a little bit excited that we have this brilliant themed list of podcast topics so that if you're into a particular aspect of the low tox life, you can head straight to the topics that you want to get back-cataloguing on pronto! As you may or may not know, depending on how long you've been a member of the community, The Low Tox Life is about making better choices for us AND our beautiful planet across food, body, mind, and home topics - with lots of delicious recipe inspiration while we do it!
On the podcast, I extend that to thought leaders, authors, and brand owners who are leading the charge.
With over 250 shows now, there's a lot of wonderful stuff to listen to, SO much wisdom garnered from all these incredible guests, so enjoy them, take them for a walk and get out in nature or go for a long drive - my two favourite podcast listening scenarios - while folding the laundry? Not so enjoyable, but hey, certainly takes my mind of the task!
