Alexx Stuart is on a mission to help people want to (not *have* to) make changes for the better in their lives.
She launched 'Low Tox Life' back in 2010 a few years after discovering she had a gluten allergy and going on a personal mission to find out what she was putting in, on and around her body.
Since then, Low Tox Life has become a thriving online education hub and Alexx has become a 4x best-selling author and podcast host (with over a million downloads), by the same name.
This is a conversation about conscious choice, hormones & why you should change your pillow :)

Caroline Buchanan's cycling CV is quite extraordinary.
Not just because she's an 8x World Champion, but also because she has achieved those titles across 2 multiple disciplines within the sport of cycling (3x in BMX and 5x in mountain biking).
She is a 2x Olympian and has now competed at the World Championships in 4 different cycling events.
Off the bike, Caroline is committed to the next generation of cyclists and to encouraging more girls to get into the sport, including through her latest venture; a children's book series called 'Girls Can B'.
Needless to say, she's a woman of many talents - both on and off the bike.
We could have spent the hour just talking about her cycling career, but I wanted to go deeper than that; to discover the mindset and mental strategies she uses to manage her fear (in a risky and potentially dangerous sport) so she can perform on the world stage at her best.

Eliza Ault Connell was a (self-described) normal kid with a pretty average childhood until she was 16.
It was then, in 1997, she contracted and nearly died from meningococcal disease.
She spent 2 weeks in a coma during which time her parents had to make the heartbreaking decision to amputate both of her legs to save her life.
Eliza later decided to have her fingers amputated for reasons she’ll share in this conversation.
During her recovery, Eliza was introduced to parasports and started as a runner, before she transitioned across to wheelchair racing - and she hasn’t looked back.
She has since won 3 World Championship medals, 3 Commonwealth Games medals and placed 2nd in a demonstration event at the Athens 2004.
After a 10 year break from racing to raise a family, at the age of 36 Eliza returned to the sport to chase her Olympic dreams once more.
And just a few weeks ago, it was announced that Eliza was one of the first 4 athletes selected to represent Australia at the 2021 Tokyo Paralympic Games.

“Attitude is more important than fact” might seem like one of those weary and overused motivational slogans.
But Lisa Bentley lives it every day.
Lisa is an 11-time Ironman triathlon champion, including 5 straight victories at Ironman Australia.
She also has cystic fibrosis - a genetic lung disease that results in chronic infections with limited lung capacity.
Lisa was diagnosed in 1989 at the age of 20, when the average life expectancy for those with cystic fibrosis in Canada, was also 20.
The facts would suggest Lisa was never meant to excel at endurance sports.
She’s the first to admit she wasn’t the most talented athlete around, especially given her limited lung capacity.
But it was Lisa’s approach to the mental and emotional side of sport — her attitude — that set her apart.
We dive into her story and the tools she used to build that mental fitness in this conversation.
