If you started carnivore or low carb and felt worse before you felt better, this episode is for you. In this episode of Carnivore Lifestyle for Women, Cristina Clark, your Carnivore Lifestyle Coach, sits down with Sally K Norton to break down what oxalates are in simple terms, why they hide in so many “superfoods,” and why the transition to carnivore can sometimes feel rough when your body is adjusting.
Sally explains how oxalates can show up through foods like spinach, almonds, chocolate, tea, and even sweet potatoes, and why this is not always “just keto flu.” You will learn what oxalate dumping can look like, why metabolic health can be harder to restore when your body has been under a higher toxic load for years, and how to approach carnivore in a way that supports fat loss and consistency without panic or perfection.
This is a powerful conversation for midlife women who want to understand what is happening in their body, simplify nutrition, and build a plan they can actually stick with.
Enjoy!
Cristina
