Gut Health Myths Busted: The Surprise Foods and Symptoms with Dr. Kristen Reihman S3E8

Oxalates, Gut Health & Vulvodynia: Dr. Kristen Reihman on SIBO, Parasite Cleanses, and Recurrent UTIs On the Period Besties podcast, hosts interview Dr. Kristen Reihman, a Period Coaching School teacher and gut health specialist, about a severe episode she links to oxalate dumping syndrome, describing three weeks of intense pelvic/vulvar pain that felt like “shards of glass” and how it deepened her understanding of vulvodynia. She explains oxalates as plant compounds the body can only process up to roughly 100–150 mg per day, how excess may be stored as crystals in tissues, and why abruptly eliminating high-oxalate foods can trigger “dumping.” High-oxalate foods discussed include spinach, chard, beet greens, beets, nuts and seeds, beans, sweet potatoes, and unripe avocado; she notes kale is disputed across lists and cites Sally K. Norton’s beginner guide as a resource, and names lower-oxalate seeds as pumpkin, sunflower, watermelon, and flax. The conversation covers New Year gut reset strategies, including a 21-day comprehensive elimination diet (removing common triggers such as gluten, dairy, soy, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, and seed/vegetable oils), with advice to start in the follicular phase; they discuss the gut–brain/mood connection, sleep, boundaries, and light therapy. Dr. Reihman also reviews deeper gut issues like SIBO (breath testing; bloating, gas, undigested food) and talks about parasites and yeast overgrowth, describing common herbal approaches (wormwood, cloves, black walnut, neem, mimosa pudica, cascara sagrada), traditional deworming frequency, full/new moon symptom patterns, dosing considerations for kids, a seizure-related caution, and using enemas during cleanses. They address the gut–vagina–bladder “trinity,” how lactobacilli and vaginal pH protect against BV/yeast and UTIs, why perimenopause/menopause raises UTI risk, how vaginal estrogen can help restore a supportive environment, and why standard urine tests can miss bladder biofilm infections; Dr. Rhimen mentions using lumbrokinase to disrupt biofilm and MicroGen Diagnostics PCR testing to identify many organisms and resistance genes. She shares personal daily non-negotiables (sleep, swimming/exercise, avoiding gluten, prioritizing clean animal products), where to find her online (kristenrhimenmd.com and Instagram), her coaching programs and elimination diet course, and offers her ebook “Life After Lyme: Revive Your Inner Rockstar and Achieve a Full Recovery.” https://kristinreihmanmd.com Instagram:   / kristinreihmanmd   Facebook:   / kreihmanmd   The Healing Grove Podcast:    / @kristinreihmanmd   00:00 Welcome + Meet Dr. Kristen Reihman (Gut Health Specialist) 00:29 The ‘Shards of Glass’ Story: Oxalate Dumping & Vulvodynia Explained 03:20 What Oxalates Are & How Crystal ‘Storage’ Happens in the Body 06:10 High-Oxalate Foods, Spinach Smoothies & Why ‘Quit Cold Turkey’ Backfires 10:40 Nuts, Seeds & Finding Reliable Oxalate Lists (Kale Debate + Resources) 13:27 How to Reduce Oxalates Safely (Awareness, Tapering & Stopping a Dump) 15:05 New Year Gut Reset: 21-Day Elimination Diet + Timing It With Your Cycle 19:30 Gut–Mood Connection: Neurotransmitters, Sleep, Boundaries & SAD Tools 21:43 Next-Level Gut Issues: SIBO Basics, Symptoms & Testing 24:57 Parasites & Yeast Overgrowth: Cleanses, What Works, How Often + Safety 32:21 Colonics + Parasite Cleanses: Helping the Body Eliminate 33:15 Parasites Are Closer Than You Think: How We Get Exposed 34:54 How to Do a Parasite Cleanse: “Stomp, Don’t Sneak” (3 Tools, 2x/Day) 35:45 The Gut–Vagina–Bladder “Trinity”: Why UTIs Spike in Perimenopause 40:41 Biofilms & Hidden UTIs: Why Standard Cultures Miss Chronic Infections 42:15 Better Testing + Breaking Biofilm: MicroGen PCR & Lumbrokinase 44:37 Daily Health Non‑Negotiables: Sleep, Exercise, and Food Rules 48:50 Lightning Round + Where to Find Kristen (Programs, Ebook, Sponsors) Todays episode is sponsored by: Period Coaching School and Katie Bressack Wellness.
