  • What is a Kidney-Friendly Diet and How do I Start Eating One?
    Today we are talking about a subject that is near and dear to my heart as a Nephrologist. I get asked all the time "what exactly is a kidney-friendly diet and how do I start one?".
    If you have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease you have probably heard of a kidney healthy diet before, but finding information on the internet can be daunting. A lot of information out there is outdated. There also is no one-size-fits-all diet that will benefit everyone. So whether you are stage 2 kidney disease or just looking to prevent kidney damage - your dietary needs may be different from someone who is currently on dialysis. Or maybe you have diabetes and want to make healthy changes - you have to find out where your risk factors are and what changes you can make to start your journey to better health.
    So today I am going to go over the 5 pillars of a kidney friendly diet and how each simple change can start impacting your health in a positive way. Watch now to learn more.

    Working as a kidney doctor, I found that my patients were often unaware of just how important diet and lifestyle were and how often they felt unsupported by generic advice to “eat healthy”. The home cook in me hated hearing this, so I set out to find a better way.
    I began to combine my medical training and love of food, making videos of simple recipes that were based on science and packed with flavor. Instead of just saying “eat healthy” to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health.
    Kidney doctor, passionate home cook, and UA-cam sensation Dr Blake Shusterman empowers people to proactively manage their health by stepping into the kitchen. The author of several cookbooks with over 100,000 UA-cam subscribers, The Cooking Doc® believes anyone, at any age can transform their health with small changes that make a big difference. Based on science and packed with flavor, Dr. Blake’s simple recipes have inspired home cooks everywhere to change their diet, retrain their taste buds, and transform their health.

    Got diagnosed with Stage 4, efficiency was about 17% 20 months ago. Modified diet with your books' guidance. EFG is at 25% now. Went to celebrate with a restaurant meal. I could barely finish the meat because it tasted like PORK flavored Salt. Absolutely outrageous amount of salt in restaurants!

      John - so very happy to hear this. It sounds like you have truly changed your buds. Its amazing how your tastebuds can adapt and change. Restaurants load their foods with salt to keep customers coming back. You are doing amazing work!!

    The best thing I've done is find a renal dietician. She explained that we need to eat for our particular needs, shown by lab tests.

    I was told at the beginning of the year that I have CKD. A few weeks ago they said is was Stage 2. Last week when I asked if I should see a Kidney Dr. I was told that their practice doesn't do that until kidney function starts to decline. My problem is that protein is overflowing into the urine. I have cut back on both meat and plant protein.
    At the same time I was diagnosed with Peripheral Vascular Disease. I have already had a stent put in my left leg. And had an ablation done on it. Ablation for my right leg is scheduled for September.
    In March we found out I have osteoarthritis in both my hips. I also have diabetes and high blood pressure.
    So now I need to eat the following diets:
    1. Diabetic
    2. Low sodium
    3. Heart Healthy
    4. Kidney Friendly
    5. Arthritis Friendly
    I 've been trying to find good, up-to-date information on my own. All the experts disagree with each other and give contradictory advice.
    I have requested referral to a nutritionist but appointment hasn't come through yet.
    To make everything worse I'm suffering from fatigue and have no desire or energy to cook even though I know how. Even "healthy" frozen meals aren't.
    Situation has been made worse by getting COVID at the end of March. It took a month before I tested negative at the end of April.
    Your 5 points are spot on, however.

      Jacquelyn - I am really proud of you for staying on top of this. I know this journey can be difficult and finding good healthy food can be daunting (the frozen meals a lot of times can be loaded with sodium). I wish you all the best and hope you can get that appointment soon. A nutritionist can be very helpful in leading you through healthy changes. Stay strong and keep being very proactive in finding answers. You got this.

      The good news is that I have lost 25 pounds since January 2023 putting me in the Overweight category instead of the Obese category. I would like to loose 23 more pounds by the end of the year.

      After getting a kidney transplant, you can eat anything but in moderation. Otherwise, the kidney will not last. Transplant from a deceased donor lasts about 7-10 years, but if you take care of it, the kidney might last a little longer. Transpalnt from a living donor can last 20 plus yrs. Make sure you take your rejection medication everyday otherwise it will be rejected. Those meds are a lifetime...

      All doctors are supposed to tell you the stage your at, but if he or she doesn't. Look at your creatine levels. This will tell you what stage you're at.
