This is from my other Podcast Food Talk For Health.  If you’re eating a healthy diet and you’re still dealing with fatigue, inflammation, anxiety, recurrent injuries, or chronic pain, the problem could be your spinach, almonds, sweet potatoes, and other trusted plant foods. And your key to vibrant health may be quitting these so-called superfoods. After suffering for decades from chronic health problems, nutrition educator Sally K. Norton, MPH, discovered that the culprits were the chemical toxins called oxalates lurking within her “healthy,” organic plant-heavy diet. This book shines light on how our modern diets are overloaded with oxalates and offers fresh solutions including: A complete, research-backed program to safely reverse your oxalate loadComprehensive charts and resources on foods to avoid and better alternativesGuidance to improve your energy, optimize mood and brain performance, and find true relief from chronic painIn this groundbreaking guide, Norton reveals that the popular dictum to “eat more plants” can be misleading. Toxic Superfoods gives health-seekers a chance for improved energy, optimum brain performance, graceful aging, and true relief from chronic pain.Sally K. Norton's book, “Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload is Making You Sick-and How to Get Better” is available everywhere books are sold., The Data Companion to Toxic Superfoods is available at https://sallyknorton.com/toxic_superfoods/data_companion.

    We would love to hear from you. Click here and tell us what you thought of this episode. Tired of feeling guilty every time you skip the greens? What if you could enjoy your favorite meals with all the nutrition and none of the veggie taste?  If you’ve ever wished you could eat healthier without choking down another forkful of kale or pretending to like Brussels sprouts, The Hidden Vegetables Cookbook is for you. This isn’t your typical nutrition cookbook. It doesn’t try to convince you to fall in love with spinach or develop a taste for zucchini. Instead, it gives you a creative, practical way to get the benefits of vegetables without tasting them at all.  These recipes are smart, satisfying, and designed for real adults who know they should eat their veggies… but just don’t like them. Author Heidi Herman brings together 90 flavorful dishes that cleverly incorporate fresh vegetables in ways that blend, mask, and even overpower their taste so you get the nutrients without the struggle.
