My patients have been doing this wrong
Kidney stone patients are cutting way too many foods out of their diet, and it's making their world smaller and joyless. In this episode, Jill breaks down why "high oxalate" doesn't mean "forbidden," using real numbers from the Harvard Oxalate Food List to show that foods like sweet potatoes, kale, avocados, peanut butter, and blueberries can absolutely fit into a low-oxalate lifestyle in the right portions.
She walks through her own coaching calls, explains how to use the free oxalate calculator and food list tool at kidneystonediet.com, and shares why building a daily oxalate "budget" (rather than banning foods outright) is the key to long-term compliance, real joy, and better stone prevention.
