Your gut microbiome may play a role in kidney stone formation, particularly when it comes to oxalates.
Certain beneficial bacteria can help break down oxalates in the gut, potentially reducing the amount absorbed into the bloodstream and excreted through the kidneys.
Research has explored bacteria such as Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and certain Bacillus species for their potential role in oxalate metabolism and urinary health.
Supporting a healthy microbiome may be one piece of the bigger picture when it comes to kidney health.
As always, the right approach depends on your individual health and the root cause of your symptoms.

What if anxiety isn’t always something to get rid of?
Sometimes, it’s information. Your nervous system may be picking up on something that deserves your attention.
In horse training, we never punish fear. We help the horse move through the fear, assess what’s happening, and return to a sense of safety.
We can apply that same idea to our own anxiety: listen to what your body is telling you without letting the feeling take over your behavior.
This is exactly the kind of nervous system work I’ll be exploring in my upcoming class, Flight Animal: The Horse-Human Nervous System Connection, on November 14.
Come learn how our nervous systems communicate, what horses can teach us about safety and regulation, and how to work with your own nervous system instead of fighting against it.
I’d love to have you join me. Find all the details and register at dramynelsonnd.com.

You don’t have to pretend you’re not afraid around a horse.
In fact, horses are incredibly attuned to whether our emotions and our behavior are congruent. As prey animals, they are constantly assessing their environment for safety.
So if you’re nervous around a 1,000-pound animal, that’s understandable. Horses are powerful, quick, and unpredictable. The goal isn’t to suppress that fear or pretend it isn’t there.
It’s to feel the emotion in your body and learn how to move through it.
When we can stay present with what we’re feeling instead of becoming overwhelmed by it, horses can sense that difference. They respond to the truth of our nervous system.
This is one of the fascinating pieces of the horse-human nervous system connection that we’ll explore in my upcoming class:
Flight Animal: The Horse-Human Nervous System Connection�November 14
We’ll look at what horses can teach us about nervous system regulation, safety, emotion, and connection.

What can horses teach us about our own nervous system?

Join me for Flight Animal: The Horse-Human Nervous System Connection, a small, hands-on class exploring stress, regulation, trust, boundaries, presence and authentic connection through the lens of the horse as a flight animal.

Held at my barn in Liberty Hill, this experience will include time working with and connecting with the horses while exploring how the nervous system responds to stress, safety and connection.

We’ll learn about the nervous system, practice grounding and regulation, and explore what our connection with horses can teach us about ourselves.

Saturday, November 14, 1:00–3:00 PM, North Star Equestrian Center in Liberty Hill
Only 8 spots are available for this intimate group experience.
$149 per person.

If you’re curious about the nervous system and want to understand it through the unique lens of a flight animal, I’d love to have you join us.

NEW CLASS: Flight Animal: The Horse-Human Nervous System Connection

What can horses teach us about the nervous system?
Horses are flight animals, which means they have an incredible sensitivity to stress, safety, and the environment around them. When we learn to understand their nervous systems, we can start to notice things about our own.

On November 14, I’m inviting you out to the barn for a hands-on class exploring the horse-human nervous system connection.
We’ll work with the horses on the ground (no riding!), learn some foundational principles of working with horses, explore how horses experience stress and regulation, and discover what we can learn from their unique perspective as flight animals.
There will be horses, hay, dirt, nervous system education, and plenty of time to connect.

Come hang out with me at the farm in Liberty Hill for a different kind of nervous system class.

Flight Animal: The Horse-Human Nervous System Connection November 14 | 1–3 PM Liberty Hill, TX

If you have a genetic tendency toward kidney stones, hydration is one of the most important things you can focus on.
And we’re not talking about just drinking a little more water.
A good general guideline is about half your body weight in ounces of water per day. But you may need more if you live somewhere hot and humid like Texas, exercise regularly, or are dealing with a kidney stone.
For someone with a strong genetic tendency toward kidney stones, that can mean 3–4 liters of water a day, depending on what’s going on.
Hydration matters. A lot.

Think kidney stones are just about what you eat? There may be more to the story.
Some people are genetically prone to excreting more calcium and oxalates, which can increase their risk of calcium oxalate kidney stones.
But the bigger question is: WHY is your body excreting more of them?
Your parathyroid glands help regulate calcium in your body. When that system is out of balance, it can affect how calcium moves between your bones, blood, and kidneys.
And that may be part of what’s happening when someone is prone to calcium oxalate kidney stones.
This is why getting to the root cause matters. Sometimes it’s not just about what you’re eating. It’s about understanding what’s happening inside your body.
