The Shocking Truth About Oxalates - How "Healthy" Foods Could Be Making You Sick with Sally Norton

Published on: 28th February, 2024

👉 In this episode, I interview Sally K Norton, author of Toxic Superfoods, about the dangers of oxalates in our food supply. We discuss how oxalates can cause numerous health issues like arthritis, thyroid problems, and more.

Sally shares her own health journey of discovering oxalates were the root cause of lifelong issues like joint pain and sleep disorders. We talk about high oxalate foods to avoid, like spinach, almonds, and sweet potatoes.


Sally explains how oxalates accumulate in tissues over time, leading to oxidative stress and inflammation. We discuss the best ways to detox from excessive oxalates. She provides tips for healing oxalate dumping syndrome.


Sally shares inspiring stories of patients improving from serious autoimmune diseases and chronic pain by lowering dietary oxalates. We talk about the lack of oxalate awareness despite evidence over centuries of its toxicity.

About the Podcast

The Meat Medic Podcast
Optimising physical and mental health through optimum diet, nutrition and lifestyle
Welcome to The Meat Medic Podcast. I'm your host Dr Suresh Khirwadkar. I'm a GP, Board Certified Lifestyle Physician and Functional Doctor. I help my patients improve their health by focussing on diet, nutrition and other lifestyle changes, and I made this podcast to reach more people and share how to become masters of their own health.

In this podcast we discuss all things related to diet and nutrition and how you can improve your physical and mental health by following the key principles of healthy living.

All of the information is thoroughly researched by myself, as well as drawing on over 20 years of experience and training. I am a Specialist GP as well as a Board Certified Lifestyle Physician, and I have quite extensive training in nutrition having studies with ASLM, IBLM, ACNEM and Diet Doctor.

I work extensively with diet and nutrition in my practice, and use it to help people with a vast array of issues. My focus is on holistic care, preferring to avoid medication prescriptions where possible and instead utilising lifestyle interventions to restore health and balance.

My real passion though is helping people to help themselves. I'm a huge believer in educating my patients and empowering them to prevent and treat chronic diseases themselves. My goal is to get to the point where my patients never actually need me.

Then my job is done.

About your host

Profile picture for Suresh Khirwadkar

Suresh Khirwadkar

Born and raised in England, UK, I knew from an early age I wanted to be a doctor. I wanted to help people, and heal them, and I was naturally attracted to General Practice - Primary Care. I attended medical school in England and after graduating did my early house jobs and registrar training in England as well. I was lucky enough to learn under some amazing doctors who taught me a great deal about treating patients in the right way, how to listen and learn from them, and how to actually try to understand disease processes and how the human body worked rather than just rely on guidelines to direct how I treated people. I am truly blessed that they also instilled in me a desire to treat people without medications, and to actually reduce and stop medications where possible, which unfortunately is not common in the medical profession.

I later moved to Australia with my wife and then 1 daughter (now I have 3 and another on the way as well).

I was already a Specialist GP when I moved, but now I'm also a Board Certified Lifestyle Physician. As well as further training in areas like skin cancer and mental health, I also have quite extensive extra training in nutrition having studied with ASLM, IBLM, ACNEM and Diet Doctor.

As a GP I see people with all sorts of issues, some acute, some chronic. My primary focus is on chronic disease, and really on preventative care where possible. I run dedicated functional health and lifestyle medicine clinics for my patients, and often see people who have 'medical unexplained symptoms', difficult diagnoses, or those who unfortunately have become disillusioned with the medical system and are seeking something different.

I like to fully explore my patients' symptoms, not just their diagnoses, as often links can be made with their other conditions, and a common source can then be identified. In my experience, this is almost always diet and nutrition related, often from eating exactly what the mainstream medical profession and government tells them eat, yet people are sick of being sick.

I work extensively with low carb nutrition in my usual practice, and it use to help people with a vast array of issues, and my focus is on holistic care, preferring to avoid medication prescriptions where possible and instead utilizing lifestyle interventions.

My real passion though is helping people to help themselves. I'm a huge believer in educating my patients and empowering them to prevent and treat chronic diseases themselves. My goal is to get to the point where my patients never actually need me. Then my job is done.

I'm excited to share that as well as my in-hours face to face consulting, I'm now also offering out of hours video consults for Lifestyle / Functional Medicine consults, as well as psychotherapy and counselling.
