Oxalates are small molecules that have the ability to form crystals. These crystals can, in turn, deposit in different areas of the body, including the thyroid gland, and impair thyroid function.

Outside of the impact on thyroid health, oxalates can deposit in areas such as the kidneys, bones, brain, skin, and nervous tissue and cause symptoms including muscle and joint pain and even fibromyalgia-like discomfort.

Today I’m sharing everything you need to know about oxalates, where they are found, why you might want to moderate your intake, and what to do if you have high oxalate levels.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What are oxalates?
