Monique’s Dirty Dozen of Oxalate-Rich Food

Steps to Start Flushing Out Oxalates Today

 

Monique Attinger Notable Quotes

“All plants have some oxalate. All animal products are low to zero. And so, here we are, moving steadily towards plant-based eating, and what we’re doing, quite inadvertently, is increasing oxalate in our diet with each adjustment to taking in more plants and less animal products.”

Episode Summary

Many of us want to do our best and eat as cleanly and healthily as possible—eat our proteins, eat our veggies, fruit, maybe pop in a supplement or two. But little did we know that some foods that we initially thought are healthy might actually be causing more harm than good, say those pesky high-oxalate food.

In this episode of This Podcast Burns Fat, we’re talking to certified holistic nutritionist, the Low-Oxalate Coach Monique Attinger to shed some light on what oxalates are and how they affect us and our bodies when they’re abundant in our diet.
