Ancestral Health; are vegetables really toxic for

Ancestral Health; are vegetables really toxic for your kidneys ?

Oxalates are natural compounds found in many plants, particularly high in certain kinds like spinach and beets.

Oxalate causes kidney issues by binding with calcium in the urinary tract to form sharp calcium oxalate crystals and stones which can block the kidneys, trigger cell inflammation, and cause internal scarring (fibrosis) that impairs kidney function over time.

Should we avoid consuming them ? It depends.

1. A leaky damaged gut leads to oxalate being absorbed into the bloodstream. Leaky gut, increases the body’s absorption of dietary oxalates from a normal rate of 1-2% up to 40-50%.
2. Our gut microbiome is a biological filter for oxalates and uses specific strains of bacteria like Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus to break it down BEFORE it enters our bloodstream. Dysbiosis causes more oxalate to be absorbed.
3. Usually dietary calcium binds to oxalates to prevent absorption and remove it through waste. Fat malabsorption (which can be worked on) leads to unabsorbed dietary fat binding to calcium, leading to higher oxalate levels.

Free unbound oxalate can be absorbed into our bloodstream which leads to high urine oxalate levels (enteric hyperoxaluria) and an increased risk of kidney stones.

So what can be done to protect our kidneys while our gut is leaky ?
1. Temporarily eliminate or reduce when working on gut healing
2. Prepare foods a certain way eg. Boiling and fermenting. Fermenting reduces oxakates by up to 70% and boiling by up to 90%.

Our Ancestors did consume seasonal plants ( seen in the work of Dr Weston A Price ) but they did so while consuming plenty of animal foods and ensured plants were local, seasonal, naturally organic and prepared properly often ( boiling/ fermenting etc ) but not always ( they still had things like spring greens and roots etc).

A healthy body is robust and resilient, it doesn’t buckle when vegetables are consumed. Issues around tolerating vegetables doesn’t mean permanent avoidance, it means working on your gut health first. Gut health is one of the best ways to support kidney health.

Are you needing some inspiration and strength on y

Are you needing some inspiration and strength on your own healing journey ?

Healing can feel like a lonely path, stepping into something unfamiliar but new and very exciting. Others experiences build confidence and give reassurance, they serve as a reminder of what is possible when we choose ourselves. We have a community here of people just like you.

Natalie @fernvale_acres has kindly shared her story with us, about healing on a My Proper Nutrition Ancestral protocol. She overcame her Stage 3 kidney disease diagnosis, chronic digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, weight loss resistance, joint pain and overall lack of vitality.

As a working mum, wife, regenerative farmer and homesteader, she truly is an example of what it means to very much combine living a busy life and heal at the same time. From meal prepping to writing down to do lists her dedication was inspiring.

I met Natalie years ago, and I am in awe of who I see today. Yes the physical transformation is remarkable. The radiant skin, shiney hair, presence and sparkle in her eye. The healthy kidneys, gut, hormones. But it’s the personal transformation that really touches me. The confidence, the emotional and spiritual growth and the alignment.

I believe health is the gateway to finding our true selves and our life path. Our purpose begins within us. When we are healthy, grounded and connected we see and embody it naturally.

One thing I see in many of my successful cases, those who heal the most efficiently, choose to be kind and lean into loving themselves and others well. Natalie is one of those rare special people who radiates warmth and a pure heart.

I hope she inspires you

Breakfast soup is one of the best ways to heal the

Breakfast soup is one of the best ways to heal the gut. Warm, easy to digest and lines the gut wall.

In the morning your digestive system is nice and empty and ready to take in a warm nourishing meal. A highly effective time of day to include this. Boiled foods are significantly easier to digest than fried items.

You’ll need
•Bone broth or stock
•Meat of choice
•Veggies
•Fat
•Salt

Highly customisable depending on where you are at on your journey
•Cook time can be adjusted to suit histamine needs
•Fat type and quantity can be adjusted based off absorption/ tolerance
•Vegetables can be alternated all the way from basics like pumpkin and zucchini to harder to digest items like tomato and potatoes
•Meat cuts can be alternated from poultry to fish to varied beef and lamb cuts

Sensitive damaged guts will typically need care with a low cook time, less fat and vegetable limitations.
As the gut heals and the body strengthens these things can be adjusted again to suit your new needs and desires.

My favourite thing about this for my clients is that it’s very quick and easy. Between pressure cooking or slow cooking the base ( set and forget ) and a quick vegetable chop. With the right preparation it’s a 5-10 minute situation to put this together.

It really leaves you with no excuses to skip breakfast or choose a less than ideal option eg. Cereal.
Breakfast is incredibly important when healing, it lowers cortisol, signals safety to the body by preventing a fasted state and provides more carries and sustained energy needed for repair.

Give it a go and let me know what you think

Soup changed my life in many ways. I swear by star

Soup changed my life in many ways. I swear by starting my mornings with a warm nourishing Ancestral style soup.

Being Eastern European ( Belorussian ) by heritage I grew up on soup as a regular childhood meal. From chicken to beef to fish soup. We had a tradition, every single Saturday of my childhood and teen years we used our sauna as a family and had a brothy soup afterwards ( my health conscious parents still keep the tradition alive between themselves, how cool ).

I was reintroduced to broth from a healing lens at 18 when my GAPS nutritionist at the time taught me to make it. Back 15 years ago there was no store bought bone broth concentrates or even much information online. I still remember failing my first batch. I kept all the fat on and made it with marrow bones which led to basically drinking a cup of fat and being violently ill (oh dear ).

Since then I’ve mastered the art of a perfect stock or broth and soup. I’ve hacked my way through prepping it in a way where it’s quick and easy. On weekends I batch make enough for the week ahead, and put it in my chest freezer ( next to my whole regenerative cow ha! ). It’s just part of my life and routine not something I ‘ have to do’. Consistency over time makes these things normal and habitual.

I swear by my daily soup. Having maintained my results for so long, I notice the benefits across the board from a robust gut to healthy ageing to hair and skin quality to gym recovery to immunity and vitality.

In the morning it takes me under 10 minutes to get breakfast ready. I wake up, do my red light therapy, head off to the local park to ground and pray and I’m back home for breakfast before I get ready and start consultations.

Soup is foundational on all my prescribed protocols. Many ex carnivore and keto dieters come to me after eating BBQ steak for so long, and finally on protocols with a focus on gentle soups they begin to come full circle. In my opinion soup is the bridge between restrictive diets and broad Ancestral eating.

Soup is easy to digest, rebuilds the gut lining and restores vitality.

If there’s one meal that I would pick as a staple - this would be it !

Eating healthy/ clean often is NOT enough to induc

Eating healthy/ clean often is NOT enough to induce disease reversal 👇🏻

Clean eating, think organic, grass fed meats, eggs, seasonal fruit and veg, ferments, raw dairy. These are all great starting points and can dramatically level up health.

Disease reversal is a different ball game and requires extra refinement. From Rhumatoid Athritis to Endometriosis to Eczema to Myocarditis I see the need for it.

Most of you that I meet in consultations have already been doing clean eating for years. Many of you have tried every healing diet out there. But you are seeking to go full circle.

My disease reversal cases all have one thing in common and that’s continual refinement to obtain full remission followed by complete food reintroduction.

Over the years I have learnt that modification of the details is make or break when it comes to full gut sealing. To getting those results on paper that confirm reversal. Not many people know that 👇🏻
•Even minor histamine reactions can inflame the gut lining and slow down or prevent repair
•Excess fat can stress out an impaired gut and lead to a inflammatory response and lack of absorption leading to incomplete gut sealing
• Vegetables that may be broadly safe for most, there may be 1 or 2 that your body specifically reacts to and therefore it perpetuates your digestive symptoms and also prevents gut sealing

Initially as clients are monitored over the weeks, modification takes place to find the ‘sweet spot’. The place where remission is on speed mode.
Over time as the gut strengthens, more modifications can be made. More fat, more histamine and more food variety.

This requires careful attention to detail and individual needs which vary vastly.

My advice is that paying attention to the details can be the difference between being 80 vs 100% better. It can be the difference between improving vs fully shedding a diagnosis. It can be the difference between eating more foods vs having the full ability to go to a restaurant order whatever you like and know you’ll be A-ok !

Happy healing
Katherine 🙏🏻
