Guest: Monique Attinger, Registered Holistic Nutritional Consultant
In this episode, I sit down with Monique Attinger — a leading expert in low-oxalate nutrition — to explore one of the most misunderstood compounds in health and nutrition: oxalates. Once an IT professional, Monique turned to holistic nutrition after personally experiencing the transformative power of dietary change. Today, she helps individuals take back control of their health by addressing hidden drivers of inflammation, pain, and dysfunction — oxalates being one of the most overlooked.
We dive into:
🔹 What oxalates are and how they sneak into your diet
🔹 How gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and genetics affect oxalate buildup
🔹 The link between oxalates and bladder pain, UTIs, fertility struggles, and mitochondrial issues
🔹 The role of oxalates in conditions like IC, PCOS, endometriosis, and chronic inflammation
🔹 Safe, practical steps for managing oxalate intake — without triggering "oxalate dumping"
Whether you’re dealing with mysterious symptoms, fertility challenges, or looking to optimize your health at the root level, this episode delivers both science and strategy.
🎧 Tune in to discover how lowering oxalates could be the missing piece in your health puzzle.
