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.&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;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&nbsp;long term&nbsp;human performance.&nbsp;Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR</a>&nbsp;Host Dave Asprey walks you through the real science of oxalates using decades of&nbsp;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&nbsp;actually improves&nbsp;resilience, neuroplasticity, and mitochondrial function without unnecessary damage.&nbsp;In this masterclass,&nbsp;you’ll&nbsp;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.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;Learn:&nbsp;• Why oxalates are different from lectins, phytates, and other plant toxins&nbsp;• How oxalates drain minerals and damage mitochondria&nbsp;• What oxalate dumping feels like and how to avoid it&nbsp;• Which superfoods cause the biggest problems and what to replace them with&nbsp;• How hydration, minerals, and supplements affect oxalate clearance&nbsp;• Why oxalates accelerate aging and tissue stiffness over time&nbsp;• Practical biohacking strategies to protect longevity and human performance&nbsp;Thank you to our sponsors!&nbsp;-ECHO Water | Go to&nbsp;<a href="http://echowater.com/dave" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://echowater.com/dave</a>&nbsp;and use code DAVE10 for 10% off your ECHO Flask.&nbsp;&nbsp;-Branch Basics |&nbsp;Get 15% off Branch Basics with the code DAVE15 at&nbsp;<a href="https://branchbasics.com/DAVE15" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://branchbasics.com/DAVE15</a>.&nbsp;-BodyHealth&nbsp;| Go to&nbsp;<a href="https://bodyhealth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bodyhealth.com/</a>&nbsp;and use code DAVE20 to save 20% off your first order of&nbsp;PerfectAmino.&nbsp;-Zbiotics&nbsp;| Go to&nbsp;<a href="https://zbiotics.com/DAVE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://zbiotics.com/DAVE</a>&nbsp;for 15% off your first order.&nbsp;Dave Asprey&nbsp;is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of&nbsp;Bulletproof Coffee, and the&nbsp;father of biohacking.
