In This Episode:
You’ve been told to eat your leafy greens and snack on almonds—but what if those superfoods are secretly working against you? Discover the truth about oxalates – the hidden plant compounds that could be affecting your health!
Learn which foods and compounds can block oxalate absorption and uncover the surprising impact of high-oxalate foods on your health.
In this eye-opening episode of the Functional Nutrition Podcast, Dr. David Jockers exposes the hidden danger of oxalates—tiny plant compounds that can build up in your body, triggering joint pain, brain fog, kidney stones, and chronic inflammation. But here’s the good news: with the right foods, supplements, and hydration strategies, you can detox oxalates safely and naturally.
What You’ll Learn (and Why It Matters)
Dr. Jockers breaks down how oxalates work, why some people are more sensitive than others, and what you can do today to stop them from sabotaging your health.
From low-oxalate, high-calcium food swaps to surprising benefits of lemon water and baking soda—this episode is packed with practical tools to help you feel better, think clearer, and move pain-free.
The Oxalate Detox Plan You Didn’t Know You Needed
You don’t have to eliminate entire food groups. Instead, learn how to support your body’s ability to neutralize and eliminate oxalates through gut health, magnesium-rich foods, and strategic supplementation. This isn’t about fear—it’s about freedom through balance.
