If you’ve been loading up on almonds, spinach, or sweet potatoes thinking they’re superfoods, Dr. Jockers is here to challenge that idea. In this episode, he unpacks how oxalates—plant defense chemicals—can quietly drive inflammation, joint pain, and brain fog if your body isn’t detoxing them efficiently.
You’ll discover which nutrients naturally compete with oxalates in the body, and how simple habits like staying hydrated and adding lemon to your meals can dramatically shift your tolerance. Dr. Jockers also dives into practical ways to support oxalate metabolism through foods, supplements, and lifestyle tweaks.
Plus, learn how gut health, mineral balance, and a few overlooked supplements like B6 and magnesium citrate play a critical role in oxalate detox. Whether you're oxalate-sensitive or just curious, this conversation will change how you think about your "healthy" diet.
