Oxalates Food Compounds

About Oxalates Food Compounds

Oxalates and other plant compounds have become a hot topic, and people come to DrTalks wondering whether foods they thought were healthy could be part of their problem. Joint pain, poor sleep, fatigue, kidney stones, celiac disease, histamine issues, and bone loss are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past spinach and almonds. How your body handles food compounds ties into gut bacteria, absorption, nutrient levels, inflammation and bone health. You'll find conversations on different views about oxalates, carnivore and animal-based eating, foods that are hard on the kidneys, magnesium deficiency, and building stronger bones. Doctors, nutritionists and functional medicine practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from genetic testing to bone density scans and nutrient levels, and what helps, from minerals and protein to elimination diets, gluten-free eating, gut support and strength training.
