78 - Are Oxalates Causing Your Pain? with Sally Norton
This week's episode I had the great pleasure to speak with Sally Norton, author of "Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Super Foods Are Making You Sick ' and How to Get Better".
"Toxic Superfoods" stands out to me as one of the best and most important books ever written on nutrition and believe me, I have read many nutrition books.
As you will see discover, Sally is extremely knowledgeable on the subject of Oxalates and the damage they can and do to human health.
I believe this one of the most important interviews I have done and will make it part of my mission to spread this knowledge as far and wide as possible.
With the current level of health and disease in the world, this information is greatly needed. If you are tuning in to the podcast, then I'm assuming that health is important to you, and I have little doubt the information contained within this episode will be of great value to you.
