IN THIS EPISODE…

Are oxalates the real culprit behind your bladder pain or IC? In this episode, I unpack the popular low-oxalate diet and why it might be doing you more harm than good. Discover how calcium-rich foods can help you manage oxalates without cutting out nutritious favourites - or feeling miserable in the process.

Tune in to learn how to reduce oxalates without unnecessary restriction. You may also enjoy this blog post I wrote about understanding the low oxalate diet for interstitial cystitis.

IN THIS EPISODE WE UNCOVER…

  • Why the low-oxalate diet might not be the answer for IC or bladder pain

  • How calcium can play a key role in managing oxalates

  • How you can enjoy more variety in your diet while supporting your bladder health.
