Today I’m talking to the wonderful Ariane from Ftoxins, a polite abbreviation for something we should all be doing - putting our middle fingers up at the sources of toxicity in our lives.
One of these main sources is in our cosmetic products, and that’s what Ariane and her sister Delphine focus on with their blog and Instagram page, but they are also incredibly knowledgeable about the dangers surrounding EMFs (as emitted by our electronic devices), air quality, supplements and materials we commonly use in our kitchens like aluminium and plastic.
The girls provide safer swaps for their followers which is, I think, why they are so successful at what they do. They aren’t just explaining what the chemicals in your kitchen cleanser do they’re giving you a healthier alternative that’s priced similarly and easy to use.
I absolutely love the concept behind Ftoxins and in this episode we talk a lot about cosmetics, moisturisers, what you should and can use on your skin safely and why it’s so important not to rub petroleum all over your body!! Yes, most moisturisers are made from petroleum which comes form petrol.

Previous Episode
Cait Mizzi CNP is a Certified Nutritional Practitioner and she works functionally, which is a term you may have heard me throw around a lot on this podcast before. Essentially, she works with an evidence-based, yet natural approach to obtaining and maintaining good health. Instead of focusing on a singular system or body part, or even a single approach or cure, Cait will evaluate your complete health history, current lifestyle, emotional state and dietary habits to get to the root cause of your health concerns. As you’ll hear from this episode, Cait is an incredibly knowledgeable practitioner and we do go quite in depth on a number of topics like veganism and the ketogenic diet.
One thing we do talk a lot about in this episode is vegan diets and the Game Changers film, and if you watched that film and immediately reevaluated the way you eat then I urge you to listen through to the end of this episode because it’s incredibly important.
As ever, if you enjoy this episode I would be beyond grateful if you could help me to spread the word about state of mind by sharing the episode to your instagram stories and writing me a rave review on the apple podcasts app.

The White Death (sugar) with Nutritionist Liv Kaplan
February 3, 2020

Liv Kaplan is a Sydney based Nutritionist and foodie with a huge passion for baking. In this episode Liv explains why she lives a low sugar lifestyle and the surprising effects it can have on our mood and our happiness levels, in fact, her journey to health began when she noticed a difference in her incidence of depression when she switched up her diet. We also discuss why Liv doesn't agree with the typical definition of depression...
The topic of mood, depression and anxiety is one that we touch on a lot in this episode. So many people are suffering with anxiety these days and it can often be linked to poor blood sugar regulation and not having the correct nutrients to fuel our brains properly - namely omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids, something that's hard to come by on a vegan diet or an omnivorous diet lacking in nutrients.
