Episode 108: Monique Attinger

Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life’s Best Medicine. Monique Attinger is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, working with those who want to reduce their oxalate intake. She discovered (after her daughter was diagnosed with an oxalate problem) that lowering oxalate didn't just help her daughter, but helped her too! And yet, the practitioner who had diagnosed her daughter had never recognized any oxalate issue in Monique. As a result of that experience, Monique got involved in the low oxalate world and has been a moderator on the Trying Low Oxalates support group for over a decade. In this discussion, Brian and Monique talk about her daughter’s oxalate problem and what she discovered through this experience, how to increase oxalates in your diet, how oxalate benefits the kidneys, oxalates in milk versus dark chocolate, how to notice if you have an oxalate problem, the effects of oxalate on hormones, oxalate problems on low-carb diets, oxalates on a carnivore diet, oxalate in heavy whipping cream and other dairy products, and the experience of starting a low-ox diet. Thank you for listening. Have a blessed day and stay healthy!   Links:   Monique Attinger: Website Twitter Linktree Instagram: @lowoxcoach   Dr. Brian Lenzkes:  Website Low Carb MD Podcast   Simply Snackin’
