Description

My first show with Dr Ralph Esposito was so popular we’ve just had to do a part 2 on men’s health. I hope you enjoy as we dig into more men’s health topics that matter to you as polled in the Low Tox Life Club which you can join via Patreon. Here’s what we cover in today’s show:  
Heart health  
Cholesterol - when to worry and what to do if your doc recommends statins and make an informed decision.  
FATS: Is it one size fits all or are some better suited to sat fats than others and others Mediterranean omegas / olive oil? (ie should everyone be running to the store for coconut oil or for some is that not the best way forward?) 
Belly fat: Seems that when a man gets a little lax on the lifestyle front, the belly cops it first: Why does that happen? Why a big tummy ain't ok long term and what best to do to reduce belly fat in men?  
Man Boobs or Moobs as I heard them called the other day: Too much estrogen? How do our men sort those out? 
Is intermittent fasting good for all / certain situations where best not? And how is IF different for men / women?  
Best way for a man to build muscle mass / reduce fat and maintain?  
Brain health: We see the stats on alzheimer's and this one has hit home for me recently with a friend's husband having early onset Alz - what are some of the key stressors to the body / brain in our earlier years that can set us up for a stronger disposition to Alz / Dem?  What are some of the best things men (specifically or say 'for both men and women if yes) can do to grow older with a strong brain leading the charge?  
AND of course in true low tox conversation style, we tangent a couple of times for good measure. Enjoy the show and don’t forget all the information about our show sponsor and where to buy the book as well as helpful links to resources mentioned in the show are available in the show notes www.lowtoxlife.com/podcast and click on today’s show tile. Alexx x See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello! Thanks for being curious about the Low Tox Life podcast. I'm Alexx Stuart, your host, and after writing and researching on health and sustainability for many years at lowtoxlife.com, I am thrilled to bring this podcast to you as an extension of the online community. The concept of living a Low Tox Life is one that rejects perfection, black and white notions of there only being one way to 'do it right'. Instead, we take a relaxed and curious approach to better choices to incorporate into our lives as and if they fit. Low Tox therefore instead of 'no tox' which to most of us who aren't on an off grid hippy commune, just isn't achievable. There's nothing more that makes me sad than having people quit before they begin because you feel like a failure. Let's feel awesome about what we can learn and do from today! On this show, we cover lots of low tox topics around sustainability, health, fashion, farming, lowering our toxic load and mind happiness and with the brilliant minds I'm so grateful to chat with, I just know you'll be inspired as I am from each show. Enjoy, subscribe, pop the kettle on and most importantly: Welcome!
