This episode is all about oxalate. I interviewed Susan Owens who is one of the leading researchers into oxalate and their deleterious influence on health.
Oxalate is found in many "healthy" foods like leafy greens, nuts, and beets. The body makes them naturally and can function fine with a low balance.
However, many people are told to eat these healthy foods that are high in oxalate as a part of a healthy diet and are experiencing many negative side effects.
In this discussion, Susan explains everything you need to know about oxalates, why they matter, and what they are doing to your body and brain.
Be sure to check out Susan's Facebook group "Trying Low Oxalate" for the most comprehensive, researched-based oxalate education online.
