About this show:
Why are we more susceptible to coming down with something like a cold or the flu at the turn of a season or change of humidity or temperature? And what really helps?
Gerald Quigley joins me on the podcast this week. He’s a 50+ year pharmacist, a 40+ year herbalist, Fellow of the Naturopaths and Herbalists Association of Australia and Fellow of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society.
With a wealth of experience and having seen more than a trend or two come and go, Gerald shares the truest things that support you, as well as tackling some of the questions people often have about confusing things they learn/are trying to make sense of in health:
Is B6 really toxic?
Is Paracetamol truly that bad for us?
Do I need medication for arthritis and osteopenia when my doctor or the internet says XYZ?
We discuss how to move forward towards better patient care and greater empowerment of people in our own inspiration for cultivating a healthy state.
I hope you find it as interesting a conversation as I did.
Enjoy the show,
Alexx Stuart
Founder of Low Tox Life and the Low Tox movement

About Gerald Quigley
Gerald Quigley B.Pharm, M.H.
Gerald is a Pharmacist and Master Herbalist based in Melbourne. He is a media health commentator heard each week on many radio stations across Australia.
He is co-host of the House of Wellness radio program heard each Sunday on the Nine Radio Network live across Australia.
Gerald is a Fellow of the Naturopaths and Herbalists Association of Australia and Fellow of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society.
Gerald’s passion is to empower each person to make sensible health decisions, and to continually maintain and improve their quality of life, especially as they age.
Gerald reinforces our rediscovering of the ability to understand wellness, the role of food choices, and aging well – all of which are aspects of vitality fundamental to our future.
In Gerald’s view, inflammation is the key underlying driver of chronic disease which in turn reduces quality-of-life. The “illness system” treats symptoms. Most patients can live “with” a health issue if they have been empowered with information and options, rather than being “dominated by” that condition at every stage.
