In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking to none other than Sally K. Norton, Ivy-league Nutritionist & Author of the book, "Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload is Making You Sick-and How to Get Better.”

Sally K. Norton, MPH holds a nutrition degree from Cornell University and a master’s degree in Public Health. Her path to becoming a leading expert on dietary oxalate includes a prior career working at major medical schools in medical education and public health research. Her personal healing experience inspired years of research that led to her book, Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload is Making You Sick-and How to Get Better which was released in January 2023 from Rodale Press and is available everywhere books are sold.

If you’re eating a healthy diet and you’re still dealing with fatigue, inflammation, anxiety, recurrent injuries, or chronic pain, the problem could be your spinach, almonds, sweet potatoes, and other trusted plant foods!

And your key to vibrant health may be quitting these so-called superfoods!!

After suffering for decades from chronic health problems, nutrition educator Sally K. Norton, MPH, discovered that the culprits were the chemical toxins called oxalates lurking within her “healthy,” organic plant-heavy diet. Her book shines light on how our modern diets are overloaded with oxalates and offers fresh solutions to this problem.
