3 oxalate questions even experienced practitioners may overlook …​

​

Hi Jimi,



When I first began learning about oxalates, I discovered there was much more to the picture than simply avoiding high-oxalate foods.



And as a nutrition professional, that was an important realization.



Even experienced practitioners may be surprised by the answers to these three questions about oxalates:



1. What if reducing dietary oxalates isn't enough?



Oxalates aren't just consumed through food. They're also produced within the body. Nutrient status, vitamin C metabolism, and certain genetic or metabolic conditions can influence endogenous oxalate production i.e. produced in the body.



2. Can oxalate testing miss important information?



Different tests measure different aspects of oxalate metabolism, and each has limitations. Understanding how to interpret results alongside dietary intake, health history, and symptoms is an important part of doing a clinical assessment.



3. What happens when a client needs more than one therapeutic diet?



How do you address oxalates alongside other dietary considerations, such as histamine, salicylates, or FODMAPs, without creating an overly restrictive or nutritionally inadequate diet?



These are some of the important considerations that my dear friend and fellow nutritionist, Julie Matthews, MS, explores in her no-cost practitioner training.



And this topic is personal for me: I was eating a nutrient-dense Paleo diet, enjoying nuts, berries, homemade kale crisps and homemade smoothies. I even traveled with my blender!



Yet I was experiencing terrible burning foot pain that was like hot coals and shards of glass!



Working with Julie helped me recognize a possible connection between oxalates, the foods I was eating, and my symptoms. It opened my eyes to the importance of looking beyond whether a food is generally considered healthy and considering how it affects each person.



Julie has spent 25 years specializing in personalized nutrition and therapeutic dietary approaches. In this webinar, she shares my story while exploring the science of oxalates, clinical assessment, and individualized dietary strategies.



If you work with clients who have complex health concerns, food reactions, digestive issues, pains, mood and sleep issues or symptoms that aren't improving despite dietary changes, I think you'll find this training especially valuable.
