'Episode 2: Kidney Disease Diet: What a kidney dietitian should have told you BUT DIDN\'T! When you get diagnosed with Kidney disease you are told you need a kidney disease diet (renal diet) to manage your CKD. Most are referred to a kidney dietitian or renal dietitian to help plan your Kidney Disease diet. And chances are, the kidney dietitian was little IF ANY help to you. As a matter of fact, my first SEVERAL dietitians gave me absolutely nothing useful for my kidney disease diet plan. You expect to learn what to eat in order to lower your creatinine and increase your GFR, but that isn\'t exactly what they provide. It is important to know foods that make your kidneys healthy, foods to avoid, and have a full diet plan so that you can avoid kidney failure. Getting diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease is a Life-Altering Event, and I was ready to make the changes needed to increase my GFR and improve my kidney health. Like so many of you, I had to start doing my own research on what to eat and what not to eat. The kidney dietitians tell you a lot about what not to eat and very little about what foods you can eat on a kidney disease diet. Searching the Internet gave contradictory answers and a lot of people, including doctors, keep repeating the same basic kidney disease diet guidelines. It took a lot of effort, but after emailing and calling researchers and doctors all around the world, I was able to find dietitians who gave real advice – those with patients who were seeing their Kidney function improve! To truly fight kidney disease, you need a kidney disease diet specific to you.

Kidney health is also vital in regulating blood pressure and building strong bones. When you have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) your kidney disease directly impacts your kidney function, reducing how well your kidneys remove toxins and waste from your blood. People with kidney disease also have difficulty controlling their blood pressure since it is one of the functions of a healthy kidney. Everyone with Chronic Kidney Disease should work with their doctor to customize their own strategy. It is critical to follow your doctor\'s instructions for the plan specific to your kidney disease. Your doctor may prescribe medications, a kidney diet, and set limits for your daily Phosphorous, Potassium, Sodium, Protein, Carbohydrates, and Calcium. By not following your doctor\'s plan and eating a healthy kidney diet, you will eventually end up with end-stage renal failure, also known as stage 5 kidney disease or Kidney Failure. At that point, your kidney disease diet will become extremely strict, and you may need to consider dialysis to stay alive. Dialysis does not duplicate all of the kidney\'s functions, and it is hard on your body as it uses machines to detox your kidneys and removes waste and toxins from your blood. It should be your goal to avoid dialysis by working with your doctor to improve your kidney function. To prevent Kidney failure, follow your kidney doctor and kidney dietician\'s recommended kidney diet. Also, understand that there currently is no cure for Kidney Disease. However, it is possible to improve your kidney function and increase your GFR through the proper kidney diet and treatment. Some essential things to limit or avoid on ALL kidney diets are sodium (salt), phosphate, potassium, carbohydrates (sugar), and protein. It is also suitable for your kidneys and overall health to avoid artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors, artificial preservatives, and highly processed foods. If you have Chronic Kidney Disease, you also must manage your blood sugar levels (diabetes) and high blood pressure (hypertension) very carefully. Uncontrolled diabetes or high blood pressure can damage your kidneys, reduce kidney function, and increase toxins and waste in your blood. They also put additional stress on your kidneys, causing inflammation that reduces kidney function and lowers your GFR. I encourage others to educate themselves on Kidney Disease and fight kidney disease. Join me and learn how you can prevent kidney disease, how to avoid kidney failure, and how to improve kidney function naturally.'
