How Oxalates & Iron Overload May Be Damaging Your Health | Dustin McFarland

Overview

In this episode, I sit down with Dustin McFarland, an FDNP, board-certified holistic health practitioner, and founder of Serious About Wellness. Dustin’s health journey started in childhood with a compromised microbiome, years of antibiotics, and a dairy sensitivity that no doctor ever caught, and it eventually led him deep into the worlds of oxalates, iron toxicity, vitamin D, and even building a fully non-toxic home from the ground up. This conversation is packed with information that challenges almost everything you have been told about green smoothies, sunscreen, iron deficiency, and what a truly healthy living environment looks like.

You’ll Learn

• Why oxalates, often called glass shards for the body, are silently damaging joints, nerves, the brain, and reproductive organs in people who think they are eating a healthy plant-based diet
• The specific foods highest in oxalates including spinach, Swiss chard, cacao, heavily seeded berries, and most nuts and seeds, and why blending them in smoothies makes things dramatically worse
• The strong connection between candida, mold, yeast overgrowth, and oxalate accumulation, and why you cannot fully clear one without addressing the other
• Why conventional iron testing and iron supplementation may be completely backwards, and how a copper deficiency is likely the real driver behind most cases labeled as anemia
• The truth about vitamin D from sunlight versus supplements, why sulfated vitamin D from the sun is already active in the body while most supplement forms are not, and how sunscreen may be contributing to the very skin cancers it claims to prevent
• How to actually optimize sun exposure including surface area, timing, shower timing, and what to do instead of chemical sunscreen
• The hidden toxins inside conventional homes including sheetrock, particle board formaldehyde off-gassing, carpets, and EMF from standard wiring, and what Dustin did differently when building his own house
• Why cold exposure may be one of the most powerful and underused tools for circulation, immune function, and epigenetic signaling
