Geoff Dow: Babesiosis & Chronic Fatigue | The Healing Grove Podcast

Sally K. Norton, MPH, is an Ivy-League-trained nutritionist, speaker, and author of Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload Is Making You Sick—and How to Get Better. After decades of personal health struggles, Sally discovered that the very “superfoods” she believed were nourishing her were actually fueling her chronic pain and fatigue. Now, she helps others uncover the hidden role of dietary oxalates in their own symptoms and teaches simple, evidence-based steps for recovery. Sally’s work empowers people to take back control of their health by returning to traditional, nutrient-balanced eating rooted in bioindividual awareness.***************************************************************************************➢ Visit Sally’s Website Here: https://sallyknorton.com/ For more information on Oxalates, including recipes, symptoms of Oxalate poisoning, and informative blog posts. ➢ Purchase Sally’s Book, “Toxic Superfoods”: https://sallyknorton.com/toxic_superfoods/ ➢ Purchase the Accompanying Data Companion: https://sallyknorton.com/toxic_superfoods/data_companion/➢ Purchase Sally’s Cookbook: https://sallyknorton.com/low-oxalate-recipe-book-pdf/ ➢ Learn More With Sally’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@sknorton If you’d like to be the first to hear about new podcast episodes, sign up for our newsletter.

William's Story:Born in the Bronx, graduated from the high school of music and art in New York. My mother moved us to PR soon after, and I ran away back to the United States to live with my father. I landed in Allentown, PA back in 1979. I married the streets with no family around me. I was thrown out in the streets by my stepmother. I learned the streets and became a drug dealer. For 25 years I dedicated my life to this lifestyle. My life was out of control and I had caused so much damage in all my relationships. In 2008 I lost everything and was on the verge of suicide. I landed in Florida for this season. I voluntarily admitted myself to a program called Teen Challenge for one year. Here is where my life turned around. I stood rooted in Florida for 12 years. Coming back To Allentown in 2019 was a mission of redemption. I am now a Community Health Worker for LVHN. Giving back to community what I took. Relationships that were built on a nightmare foundation were the same relationships I am being part of rebuilding today. Going through the process of healing from suicide, rejection, mental illness, drug addiction of 25 years (now clean for 17 years) divorce, self hatred, and loss of my true identity. Today I have purpose with clarity of who I am. Helping others as I journey the new life that I have been given is the best reward.***************************************************************************************If you’d like to be the first to hear about new podcast episodes, sign up for our newsletter.
