Radio Naturopath Episode 239: I Got a Kidney Stone for Hanukkah; Glycine for Anxiety, Sleep, and Liver Detox

Last week I got my first kidney stone! Not so unusual; there is about a 1 in 10 chance that anyone will get them, men around 19% and women 9%. Why am I so lucky? Probably a combination of age, dehydration from both dry winter air and sweating while working out indoors, and too many holiday sweeties! i talk about how kidney stones happen, why they hurt so much, and how to help to prevent and treat them naturally. I also talk about the AMAZING amino acid GLYCINE: my new best friend! Helpful for anxiety, sleep, and detox. A great thing to add for the holidays!

Whatever you celebrate, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE! <3 <3 <3

I answered a caller question about what to do about bladder stones (saw palmetto, hydrangea, corn silk, Stone Breaker, WATER). I also talked about cautions and caveats with taking high blood pressure meds, anti-depressants, and statins for cholesterol. In the right time and dose they can be helpful, but often they are not prescribed that way!
