The continuing burden our bodies manage

Published

on

Concern surrounding the build up of environmental toxins continues but how concerned should we be long term?

From the food we eat to the air we breathe and the water we drink, our bodies are seemingly bombarded by a myriad of these toxins that can have an ongoing impacts on our health.

Shedding light on this issue is Clayton Thomas, CEO and founder of Root Brands. Clayton has long been an advocate for living a healthy lifestyle and minimising exposure to these toxins. He is passionate about educating others on the dangers of environmental toxins and empowering them to take control of their health.

One of the primary concerns Clayton wishes to highlight is the prevalence of pesticides in our food. Pesticides are chemicals used to kill insects and other pests that can damage crops, but they can also have harmful effects on humans. When we consume foods that have been treated with pesticides, we are also consuming the toxins used to kill the pests. Over time, this can lead to a build-up of toxins in our bodies, which can have a range of negative health effects.

Despite these challenges, Clayton is optimistic about the future. He believes that by raising awareness and advocating for change, we can create a healthier, safer environment for ourselves and future generations. He encourages everyone to take steps to minimise their exposure to toxins, such as eating organic food, using natural cleaning products, and filtering their water.

AI is transforming business efficiency, but poses significant legal risks

AI enhances business efficiency but poses significant legal and compliance challenges requiring careful management and understanding of risks.

AI enhances business efficiency but poses significant legal and compliance challenges requiring careful management and understanding of risks.

Understanding risks related to data privacy and human error is essential for responsible AI use.

Katie Richards from Virtual Legal discusses the application of AI in business functions.

Many businesses utilise AI not only for marketing but also for legal document review and drafting responses to disputes.

Properly priming AI is critical, as unclear questions can yield unsatisfactory answers.

In Australia, laws vary by state and region, necessitating attention to location-specific legal variables.

Businesses often overlook the need for tailored queries when using AI for legal concerns.

This oversight can lead to significant issues, such as breaches in data confidentiality or inaccurate information.

The importance of reading AI application terms cannot be understated, as negligence could void cyber insurance.

Human interaction with AI can affect outcomes, particularly in sensitive areas like mental health support, where reliance solely on text communication may be insufficient.

Businesses must thoroughly assess their AI integration, including potential liabilities and proper legal advice.

Comprehensive business health checks focusing on AI usage are becoming increasingly necessary.

Individuals seeking to improve their understanding and compliance can reach out to experts through companies such as Virtual Legal for guidance on securing their business practices in an AI-driven landscape.

Healthier, ethical dog treats for modern pet parenting

Growing demand for ethical, human-grade pet treats drives innovation in the Australian pet food market through brands like Treatables.

Growing demand for ethical, human-grade pet treats drives innovation in the Australian pet food market through brands like Treatables.

As pet ownership evolves, more Australians are seeking healthier and ethically produced treats for their animals.

Treatables aims to cater to this growing demand with human-grade, plant-based snacks that support canine wellbeing.

Neil Cox, co-founder of Petervescence, discussed the rise of pet parenting and the subsequent need for premium products.

The global pet market is expanding rapidly, with many owners viewing their pets as family members. This shift has led to increased interest in trustworthy, high-quality products that support dogs’ health and dietary variety.

Treatables stand out due to their appealing scent and taste, being made in a human-grade facility in New Zealand. They are all-natural and free from additives, preservatives, and fillers.

While dogs typically enjoy meat-based diets, these treats are designed to supplement rather than replace meat, introducing important dietary diversity with fruits and vegetables.

The product line features several flavours, including peanut butter and blueberry, each primarily based on dates – known for their digestive health benefits.

Sustainability and ethical sourcing are key components of Treatables’ mission. The company ensures high-quality ingredients are sourced exclusively from reputable regions, avoiding those from China due to quality concerns.

Treatables is actively expanding into various markets, including the United States, and receiving positive feedback. They are also looking to introduce more flavours and functional treats tailored to specific health needs.

Consumers can purchase Treatables online or from independent pet stores, with plans underway for direct sales through their website.

AI transforms retail: Aussie shoppers embrace smarter ways to buy

Published

on

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how Australians shop, with a sharp rise in consumers using AI-powered tools to personalise their retail experience. From tailored recommendations to voice-assisted purchases, shoppers are seeking convenience and connection like never before. Hayley Fisher from Adyen says businesses must act now to stay relevant by investing in AI and offering seamless, multi-channel customer journeys.

Yet while consumers are moving quickly, many retailers are falling behind. Adyen’s latest Retail Report reveals that only 26% of retailers plan to invest in AI this year, raising questions about who may be left behind as the sector evolves.

Hayley Fisher from Adyen joined us to unpack the findings. She says AI is not just a passing trend – it is becoming central to how people discover, decide, and buy. “Retailers need to meet customers where they are,” she explains, “and that means delivering a seamless journey across both online and in-store touchpoints.”

With shoppers demanding more tailored experiences, Fisher warns that failing to act could cost retailers not only customers, but their long-term relevance.
