Podcasts about kidney stones

Kidney stones form when minerals in urine crystallize and clump together. Among all types, calcium oxalate stones are the most common Calcium oxalate stones were long thought to result solely from physical and chemical processes, but a recent study found that bacteria are embedded inside them These bacteria form dense biofilms within the stone, creating sticky structures that give crystals more places to attach, helping the stone form and grow A separate study showed that kidneys host their own microbiome, where certain bacteria promote stone formation while others help limit crystal growth within kidney tissue Simple steps like staying hydrated, moderating oxalates, reducing seed oils, moving more, and avoiding unnecessary antibiotics can help lower stone risk while supporting kidney microbial health

In this conversation, Jeff Sarris and Jill Harris discuss the implications of consuming almonds, particularly in relation to kidney stones.

This solo masterclass on oxalates explains why many people who eat clean still struggle with joint pain, kidney stones, fatigue, brain fog, and chronic inflammation. You'll learn how oxalates behave very differently from other plant compounds like lectins, phytates, and salicylates. Unlike those compounds, oxalates physically bind minerals and form microscopic crystals that can lodge in tissues, damage mitochondria, and accumulate over time. This episode will change how you think about superfoods, clean eating, and long term human performance. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey walks you through the real science of oxalates using decades of self experimentation, functional medicine research, and hands on biohacking. As the founder of the biohacking movement, Dave has tested fasting, ketosis, carnivore strategies, supplements, nootropics, sleep optimization protocols, and metabolic interventions to uncover what actually improves resilience, neuroplasticity, and mitochondrial function without unnecessary damage. In this masterclass, you'll learn why oxalates cause problems even when digestion seems fine, why symptoms can show up in joints, kidneys, nerves, skin, and old injuries, and why reducing oxalates too fast can make you feel worse before you feel better. Dave explains oxalate dumping, candida driven oxalate overload, microbiome interactions, and why foods like spinach, almonds, cacao, and green smoothies often backfire over time. He also shares practical ways to lower your oxalate load safely, support mineral balance, and protect your metabolism and brain using a Smarter Not Harder approach. This episode is for you if you eat “healthy” but still feel off, deal with unexplained pain or inflammation, or want to improve longevity, brain optimization, sleep, and human performance without extreme restriction. You'll Learn: • Why oxalates are different from lectins, phytates, and other plant toxins • How oxalates drain minerals and damage mitochondria • What oxalate dumping feels like and how to avoid it • Which superfoods cause the biggest problems and what to replace them with • How hydration, minerals, and supplements affect oxalate clearance • Why oxalates accelerate aging and tissue stiffness over time • Practical biohacking strategies to protect longevity and human performance Thank you to our sponsors! -ECHO Water | Go to http://echowater.com/dave and use code DAVE10 for 10% off your ECHO Flask. -Branch Basics | Get 15% off Branch Basics with the code DAVE15 at https://branchbasics.com/DAVE15. -BodyHealth | Go to https://bodyhealth.com/ and use code DAVE20 to save 20% off your first order of PerfectAmino. -Zbiotics | Go to https://zbiotics.com/DAVE for 15% off your first order.

So here's a wild week: one host nearly dies from kidney stones while the other rediscovers that teaching online is actually better than in-person classes. Sam and Jeff start by hilariously "canceling" loyal listener Margaret O'Brien for the ultimate betrayal, mentioning a rival podcast in her Christmas card. (She's now officially "Maga Margaret Minaj.")The conversation takes a dark turn when one host recounts waking up at 3 AM in excruciating pain, rushing to the emergency room where a PA literally punched his kidneys for diagnosis. The uric acid stone, caused by genetic factors and too much red meat and alcohol, led to uncontrollable vomiting and significant weight loss. After an awkward encounter with a nurse named Jezebel over fluorescent orange urine, he's now waiting to see a urologist while still carrying the stone around inside him.Between medical trauma and Real Housewives drama, the hosts also discuss a Peruvian festival where people legally fight to settle grievances, their shrinking "mortal enemy list" since leaving UB, and why "girls' gays" support women's rights more than regular "gays." They watched Avatar: The Way of Water in uncomfortable IMAX seats, abandoned a terrible football thriller after an hour, and somehow ended up watching a Madea Christmas movie at midnight.

In this conversation, Jeff Sarris and Jill Harris discuss the best dietary practices for preventing kidney stones. They emphasize the importance of understanding the role of calcium and oxalate in the diet, the need for balanced meals, and the significance of moderation in food choices. Jill provides insights into how certain foods can contribute to kidney stone formation and offers practical advice on how to structure meals to minimize risk.TakeawaysThe best foods for kidney stones depend on individual dietary needs.Calcium is essential for lowering oxalate levels in the body.Fruits and vegetables should make up a significant portion of your diet.Moderation is key; more of a good food isn't always better.Avoid extreme diets that may increase kidney stone risk.Aim for a balanced plate: half fruits and vegetables, a quarter protein, and a quarter complex carbs.Hydration is crucial in preventing kidney stones.Educate yourself on food choices to prevent kidney stones effectively.Listen to your body and adjust your diet accordingly.Consult reliable sources for dietary advice regarding kidney stones.00:00 Introduction to Kidney Stone Prevention03:07 Understanding the Best Foods for Kidney Stones05:50 Balanced Diet for Kidney Stone Prevention08:40 Moderation and Food Choices for Kidney Stones——HAVE A QUESTION? _Leave us a voicemail at (773) 789-8764.KIDNEY STONE DIET® APPROVED PRODUCTSProtein Powders, Snacks, and moreWORK WITH JILL _Start HereKidney Stone Diet® All-Access PassKidney Stone Diet® CourseKidney Stone Diet® Meal PlansKidney Stone Diet® BooksPrivate Consultation with JillOne-on-One Deep Dive24-Hour Urine AnalysisSUPPORT THE SHOW _Join the PatreonRate Kidney Stone Diet on Apple Podcasts or Spotify——WHO IS JILL HARRIS? _Since 1998, Jill Harris has been the #1 kidney stone prevention nurse helping patients reduce their kidney stone risk.

In this episode "How can we optimise decision-making for complex/high-risk kidney stone patients?"  Prof. Bhaskar Somani (GB) is joined by Dr. Matthew Breeggemann (US) and Dr. Timothy Bryant (GB) to explore the practical value and challenges of multidisciplinary collaboration in stone disease management. The speakers reflect on how shared decision-making within a structured stone MDT can support better outcomes for complex or high-risk recurrent kidney stone patients. Using a real-life case example, they walk through the patient journey, examining how early specialist input and coordinated care can impact diagnosis, treatment planning and follow-up.They discuss the current gaps in guideline implementation, particularly where patient complexity demands input beyond standard urological care. The role of nephrology, radiology and dietetics in MDT decision-making is highlighted, emphasising the need for clear communication and flexible protocols. The speakers also address challenges, such as delays in imaging or conflicting clinical opinions and how MDT formats can help resolve these through consensus-building.The importance of tailoring care to individual risk profiles is underscored, along with suggestions for integrating MDT principles into both large and smaller healthcare systems. The episode concludes with practical recommendations for centres looking to establish or improve a stone MDT. This conversation provides valuable insight for clinicians involved in managing stone disease and those working toward more coordinated care models.You can also listen to the previously released episode:Identifying high-risk stone formers: How can we improve early diagnosis and referral?

The conversation explores the complex relationship between kidney stones and eating disorders, emphasizing the challenges faced by individuals with a history of eating disorders when managing dietary restrictions to prevent kidney stones. Jill shares insights from her practice, highlighting the importance of balanced nutrition and mental health support for those affected.TakeawaysMany people with a history of eating disorders struggle with dietary restrictions for kidney stones.The focus should be on adding healthy foods rather than restricting them.Patients often feel deprived, which can trigger past eating disorders.It's crucial to meet calcium needs to manage oxalate levels effectively.Eating fruits and vegetables is essential for overall health.Counseling may be necessary for those re-triggered by dietary management.Oxalate management doesn't have to be overly restrictive.Dietary goals should be approached with a balanced mindset.Understanding that kidney stones are not formed overnight can alleviate anxiety.Support from professionals is vital for managing both dietary and mental health issues.00:00 Understanding the Link Between Kidney Stones and Eating Disorders08:42 Managing Dietary Restrictions and Mental Health——HAVE A QUESTION? _Leave us a voicemail at (773) 789-8764.KIDNEY STONE DIET® APPROVED PRODUCTSProtein Powders, Snacks, and moreWORK WITH JILL _Start HereKidney Stone Diet® All-Access PassKidney Stone Diet® CourseKidney Stone Diet® Meal PlansKidney Stone Diet® BooksPrivate Consultation with JillOne-on-One Deep Dive24-Hour Urine AnalysisSUPPORT THE SHOW _Join the PatreonRate Kidney Stone Diet on Apple Podcasts or Spotify——WHO IS JILL HARRIS? _Since 1998, Jill Harris has been the #1 kidney stone prevention nurse helping patients reduce their kidney stone risk.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has been the focus of significant attention over the past several days as she navigates ongoing health challenges while maintaining her characteristic spirit and gratitude. The 79-year-old country music icon shared a heartfelt Thanksgiving message with fans on November 28th, appearing in a video where she wished everyone blessings for the holiday and expressed her deep appreciation for their support over the years. She looked radiant in a beige jacket with her signature blonde curls and warm smile intact, telling fans she would always love them.This Thanksgiving appearance marked a notable moment given Parton's recent health struggles. Earlier in November, she was forced to skip several major public events, including the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award ceremony at the Governors Awards on November 16th and the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Hall of Fame induction on November 17th, both of which she accepted virtually. She explained in pre-recorded messages that her doctors advised her to take it easy for a while as she deals with health challenges.According to reports, Parton has been dealing with kidney stones and other unspecified health issues, which prompted her to postpone her Las Vegas residency that was originally scheduled for October. The residency is now rescheduled for September 17 through 26, 2026. Her sister Freida's public prayer request for the singer sparked some concern among fans, though Freida later clarified she didn't intend to alarm anyone. Parton herself addressed the situation, explaining that following her husband Carl Dean's death in March after nearly 60 years of marriage, she hadn't taken proper care of herself and neglected medical attention that needed addressing.Despite these challenges, Parton remains optimistic about her future. In a recent interview with People magazine, she emphasized that she's still getting started with her career aspirations, dismissing retirement talk by stating she won't allow herself to get old and has no time to dwell on age. She reiterated that unless her health significantly deteriorates—which she says isn't currently the case—she intends to keep working and pursuing her dreams. Her message across all recent communications has been consistent: she's handling her health seriously, appreciating fan support, and remaining focused on her passion for music and entertainment as she approaches her 80th birthday.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
