Who is Sally K. Norton?

 

Sally K. Norton, MPH, is a health educator, speaker, and author of the bestselling book Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload Is Making You Sick—and How to Get Better. With a degree in Nutrition from Cornell University and a Master's in Public Health from the University of North Carolina, Sally brings a unique blend of academic expertise and personal experience to the conversation around diet and wellness.

 

After decades of suffering from fatigue, pain, and chronic health issues—despite following a so-called "perfect" healthy diet—Sally discovered that oxalates, naturally occurring compounds in many plant-based foods, were silently damaging her body. Now, she's on a mission to raise awareness about this overlooked topic and help others reclaim their energy, reduce inflammation, and feel better by making smarter food choices.
