In This Episode:
We all have different bodies. While some foods are healthy for some people, they may cause symptoms of health issues in others. High oxalates foods are like that. Oxalates are naturally occurring compounds found in plants, animals, and humans.
Most people think spinach, nuts, and dark chocolate are the pinnacle of healthy eating—but what if they’re secretly sabotaging your energy, hormones, and digestion? In this episode, I reveal the shocking truth about oxalates—plant compounds that can either fuel your health or quietly cause inflammation, brain fog, and fatigue.

Why Some Thrive While Others Struggle
I will break down why some people can handle oxalates without issue while others develop kidney stones, chronic pain, and gut imbalances.
I also share how genetics, nutrient levels, and even your gut bacteria determine whether oxalates become your friend or foe—and how to find your personal threshold.

How to Lower Oxalates Safely and Naturally
If you’ve been loading up on “superfoods” but still feel inflamed or tired, this episode is a must-listen. In this episode, I explain how to reduce oxalates gradually, support detox with magnesium and citrate, and rebalance your microbiome to heal naturally—without giving up all your favorite foods.
