Episode 182
Published 2 years, 6 months ago
Description
In this episode, Jill debunks the myth that drinking olive oil can help pass a kidney stone. Drawing on Jill's 25 years of experience working with kidney stone patients, she also discusses the Kidney Stone Diet and its effectiveness in reducing stone risk. Ultimately, olive oil is not a solution for passing kidney stones, but the Kidney Stone Diet is an effective way to reduce your kidney stone risk.
Takeaways
- The Kidney Stone Diet is a set of goals that can significantly reduce the risk of stone recurrence.
- Drinking olive oil does not help pass kidney stones, and there is no scientific evidence to support this claim.
- Stones have a mind of their own and may pass or get stuck regardless of any remedies or interventions.
