Ep 109 Oxalate Overload: Unpacking Hidden Health Risks and Detoxifying Your Diet


Listen Later

Today, we’re exploring oxalates, what they are, how they affect our health and how reducing them can help alleviate a variety of health issues.

Oxalates are natural compounds found in many plant-based foods. They’re classified as anti-nutrients because they bind to essential minerals like calcium and magnesium, making these nutrients unavailable for absorption. Additionally, oxalates can form sharp crystals that may contribute to physical discomfort and other symptoms.

When the body starts eliminating excess oxalates, a process known as oxalate dumping, it can cause a range of symptoms that vary widely from person to person. Let’s take a closer look at how we can manage this process to improve overall health and prevent further oxalate buildup.

Adopting a low-oxalate diet is a proactive way to address the root causes of chronic symptoms, including physical discomfort and nutrient imbalances. By listening to your body and taking gradual steps, you can empower yourself to regain balance and vitality.
