This is another episode where we will challenge your world view of good nutrition. Today, we’re speaking all things OXALATES, with specialist Elliot Overton.

Why should you care? Is this quackery BS? I think you should listen in and decide for yourself…

Oxalate is a mild metabolic toxin found in most plants to varying degrees. Unlike other phytonutrients or molecules like gluten and lectins, Oxalates cannot be broken down by the body or detoxified by the liver. It’s eliminated… or accumulated.

Oxalates are found in high volume in many of our so-called superfoods of today – including Spinach, Cocoa, Beetroot, Sweet Potatoes and Almonds. Whilst these foods and many others have a great reputation for their health benefits, it turns out we’ve been omitting one major downside to copious all-year-round consumption of these foods – Oxalates!

In this in-depth two parter (Ep. #91 & #92), nutritionist and functional medical practitioner Elliot Overton walks us through all you need to know about this insidious yet anonymous bad actor in ‘healthy diets’. Elliot lays down a lot of science, to help logically justify the reason for concern when it comes to Oxalate Poisoning and Oxalate Dumping.

Elliot provides a potential answer to those who are suffering with a random collections of symptoms that ebb and flow. He provides a new way to look at food, issues with your body and mind, and new things you can try for yourself with diet and health management.

Elliot is not alone. There are other Oxalate leaders that are researching, treating patients and spreading the word. Those leaders, plus the 22,000+ online community of past and present Oxalate poisoning sufferers and other resources mentioned throughout, are listed below.

Here’s what we discuss across both Episodes:

  1. Just got home from the ER and trying to understand what happened. Dr’s are no help. Super high blood pressure, potassium and sodium drop. Lab values all over the place. Severe lower back pain. I went cold turkey from oxalate foods without knowing that’s what I did. Trying carnivore diet. I giggled at the hypochondriac comment because that’s what my dr’s think I am…I also have autoimmune so that’s always the case. Thank you so much for this excellent 2 part series. 🙏🏼 Such valuable info! Now there’s a name to my problem!

    1. If you would be so kind, it would help the show a great deal if you could leave a short 5 star review on Apple Podcasts. Thanks! 🙏🏻
