With a simple, self-guided online video course, meal plans, cookbooks, group consultations, and private consultations, Kidney Stone Diet® is Jill's effort to help as many patients as possible prevent kidney stones for good.

In this video, kidney stone nurse Jill Harris breaks down the highest oxalate foods that actually need to go, why "superfoods" like dark chocolate and spinach might be working against you, and why most stone formers are cutting out way more foods than they need to.

She also explains why you don't need to skip the produce section at the grocery store and why getting more calcium might actually be the key to preventing calcium oxalate stones.

The Kidney Stone Diet isn't about throwing out your lifestyle. It's a set of goals designed to complement how you already eat. And that's what makes it different from anything you've seen before.

Share this with someone who thinks they can't eat anything anymore!
