Summary
In this episode, Dr. Jockers breaks down the real truth about oxalates—why some people tolerate them well while others struggle with gut issues, kidney stones, chronic pain, or hormone imbalances. You'll learn how genetics, nutrients, and stress shape your personal oxalate threshold.
You'll also hear how certain high-oxalate foods may be driving inflammation or brain fog, and what low-oxalate swaps can help you feel better without compromising nutrition. This episode highlights the subtle signs your body may be sending when oxalates become a problem.
You'll dive into the crucial role gut bacteria play in metabolizing oxalates, along with how fungal overgrowth, antibiotics, or diet can disrupt that balance. Dr. Jockers shares simple, practical strategies—like citrate, binders, and gradual reduction—to support your body as you lower your oxalate load.
