Episode 51: Toxic Superfoods with Sally K Norton, MPH

Sally K. Norton shares her powerful journey from health-conscious eater to chronically ill patient, and the surprising discovery that changed everything. After decades of unexplained pain, surgeries, and symptoms that baffled doctors, Sally found that the real culprit was oxalates—compounds found in popular “superfoods” like spinach, almonds, and sweet potatoes. These molecules can crystallize in the body, causing inflammation and tissue damage. Ironically, those most committed to eating clean may suffer the most. Sally breaks down how oxalates build up over time, why they affect people differently, and why standard blood tests usually miss them.

This episode offers practical advice on identifying high-oxalate foods, transitioning to a lower-oxalate diet, and rethinking common beliefs around food. From fruit and coffee to why milk chocolate may be a better choice than dark, Sally offers a science-backed perspective that could be the missing piece in your health puzzle.
