It's serious, but here's the good news: alongside medications and lifestyle tweaks, your food choices can play a crucial role in kidney health.

Thanks for your information
Dr Frita I had a kidney ultrasound and was told that my right kidney had an obstruction. I feel fine though. Do some people have an obstruction of one kidney and can be perfectly fine?
Also, does this mean that the obstructed kidney isn’t functioning or only partially functioning? My doctor didn’t explain this to me at all and I wanted some clarity on it …
All I can say is, my brother is a Nephrologist in Charlotte and even if your kidneys are healthy and you don’t have HPB it’s still really good to consult with a Renal Specialist to keep them that way. Thank you Dr Frita
Thank you for your videos. My kidneys have been monitored for years due to my high bp but after contracting covid 2 years ago, it severely damaged my kidneys putting me in renal failure and knocking my gfr down to 5%. Since, ive gone plantbased and brought my gfr up to 18-22 but after having a biopsy i was told covid casued sever scaring to my kidneys beyond repair. My hopes are to maintain my kidney functions as long as possible and your videos have been very helpful and inspiring...
I incorporate all the kidney friendly fruits and veggies in a smoothie except for cabbage. I thinly slice my cabbage and peppers into my salads or as a topping for tacos, sandwich wraps etc.
I was injured at the onset of covid. The injury both depressed and debilitated me. In addition to the injury my body didn't feel "correct". My once borderline high bp had increased exponentially. I requested but was denied a referral and testing. I read and/or watched any/everything I could find, including your videos. Simultaneously, I campaigned at the highest administration level. I got the doctor, referrals and testing I sought. My GFR was 70 and I had protenouria. After research, review and discussion of my labs (which were otherwise textbook) with the head of the department, I refused the recommended medications. Instead, I returned to the healthy lifestyle I had pre-injury incorporating a kidney healthy diet and water aerobics in place of the 1-3 miles walked daily pre-injury I asked the doctor to repeat all labs in 90 days. My GFR is now 80, proteinuria gone and my labs remain textbook. My bad cholesterol is down. My good up. I've lost 35 of the pounds I gained. Additionally, my bp medication has been reduced from 5mg to 2.5. Thank you so much for your videos. I've shared. For those facing what I did, please : (1) do your research, (2) ask questions and challenge answers, (3) review your labs, (4) make the lifestyle choices and (5) KEEP WATCHING DR. FRITA. For the 1st time since my injury I feel like I'm back in the driver's seat.
Blessings to you and your family. Thank you for giving many of us back to our families. 🍉🍎🍓🫐
Thank you so much for the support and kind words. I wish you all the best on your journey to wellness.

Good girl, and God bless you..❤
Fantastically amazing! Did you do water aerobics every day? How many minutes/hours of exercise did you do daily within those 90 days?
(1) Red Bell Pepper
(2) Cranberries
(3) Red Cabbage
(4) Garlic / Onion
(5) Apples
(6) Fatty Fish - Salmon
(7) Citrus Fruits and Berries
(8) Egg White
(9) Chia Seeds and Flax Seeds

I don't agree with the fish and eggs all the veggies I get it. I want to be plant based high fiber nutritional dense diet anyway. Thanks for sharing big fan
Thank you Dr, for sharing.
Bell peppers, garlic, onion, vegetable and tuna have done wonders for me along with consuming a lot of water (with lemon juice) and three cups of coffee per day. I stopped eating breakfast, except for drinking a 24ounce glass of water with lemon juice in it and a cup of coffee. My first meal is lunch and everyday I ate the same thing - an omelet with lots of onions, bell peppers and garlic and canned tuna. Also, I drastically reduced sodium intake as well as drastically reducing my use of ketchup. After 3 months of doing that, my doctor ordered a 24-hour urine collection as well as blood works. The results are:
** eGFR went from 56 to 70
** creatinine back within the normal range
** No more protein in the urine
** Normal calcium levels
My Nephrologist called to give me the results and said, whatever I am doing I am to continue doing it.
Dr. Frita excellent video . Aside from being a great communicator and very intelligent, this beautiful young lady wears the Christian cross, a godly women.
I had CKD 3 for years. After doing keto for half a year my creatinine level is normal now. My mum reversed her diabetes 2. Unbelievable.

The same question already asked is sardines good to eat for kidney disease?

Im 66 and my goal is to turn Diabetes type 2 through proper diet and exercise 3 hours at home.
Great video and thanks for the list. I'm a kidney cancer survivor and have had a partial nephrectomy so I'm a great believer of every food on your list. The only thing I would raise caution with is red bell peppers. These peppers eaten raw contain lectins which can damage gut bacteria. However, if cooked first, no problem.
Thanks again. Really appreciate your content.
Hi im a patient 62 yrs old and is on stage four of dailysis well as hbp, can you tell me if i try this nine ingredients that you mentioned will this still helps my kidneys to im on kidney transplant waiting listed now.

I have been on dialysis for 10 years and was wondering the same thing
Thank you, some nice information. Just a word that no foods can repair kidney damage (let’s not sensationalise) that said, a healthy nutritious diet will certainly improve over all health.
Dr my BP keeps dropping after dialysis. Why is that??
Thank You so much this has been so informative,/Katherine Hunt
Thanks Dr. miss your Videos !🙂🙂
Hello Dr. Frita. Most mornings I have a bowl on Chia Buckwheat groats, with cinnamon , and a whole cup of bluberries on top. To make, boil ⅓ cup raw buckwheat groats for 8 minutes. Rinse in with cool water in a colander, return to the pot, mix in 1 tablespoon of Chia seeds and add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, put in your bowl and add 1 full cup of blueberries. Delicious!
Ps I make several 4 portions at a time, and place in individual containers, keeps up-to 4 days.
By the way, thank you for your podcasts, I’m a diabetic T1 , much appreciate ! 🌻

I Dr.Frida. i am living with CD as a result of Lupus. I do see a Nephrologist. Due to potassium being an issue in CDalong with phosphorus, i try to eat a low potassium diet. I read where it says uts not good to eat salmon when you have CD. At times i am afraid to eat foods with potassium in it. I watched your video and i am encorporating the foods you mentioned. What is the amount of potassium can i consume each day? I know potassium is good for your nerves, muscles, etc. Iam also taking medications for the Lupus and is on Xeralto as a blood thinner. I have HBP as well. I have osteoarthritis. I don,t want to end up on dialysis so, i am trying to to eat better, i have lost a bit of weight in the process. I try to walk as much as i am able. Sometimes the knees act up so, i have to take a break. I am scared to eat foods containing potassium. Can you fffer any tips to help
