This video is intended to be informational only. It is not a medical consultation, nor is it personalized medical advice. For medical advice, please consult your physician.
The best diet for kidney function varies depending on your percent of kidney function, or your eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate. Be sure to consult your physician, and ask what your EGFR is. If your EGFR is less than 60 milliliters per minute, then you will benefit from a kidney diet. Remember, today I'm going to give you some guidelines for the kidney diet, but you need to consult your physician, and your nutritionist, to find out the specifics of the kidney diet that are best for you. Okay, let's get started. Five tips for the kidney diet, how to eat properly when you have kidney disease.
5 Kidney Disease Diet Tips
1. Protein Intake
2. Practice Low Salt Intake
3. Proper Potassium Intake
4. Phosphorous Intake
5. Water Intake
These are some general guidelines on a proper kidney disease diet, how to eat properly with kidney disease. And I threw in some tips on how to try to prolong your good kidney function if you have no kidney problems. I just want you to live your healthiest, happiest life.

Dr Freda how are you I enjoyed your video my EGF is below 60
Dear Dr Frita.
I miss Emory, lived in Atl 40 years and I really miss you. Warm hugs to you and your staff. 🙏🏻
Never can understand why people put thumbs down,its a Doctor giving sensible advice..Thank you Doctor😇Take care all.
Docotrs that dont want us to get wepll so they dont loose patients
Mayb bunch of doctors who hates other doctors for telling the masses the truth
Its hurting thier pocket you know 😆
To some people ignorance truly is bliss.
It depends on their nutritional education that they have, to give advice on diets! Shes giving info commonly given to dialysis patients. Nit those wanting to AVOID dialysis.
They dont like to hear the truth..iv kidney chronic disease, this doctor is amazing..only came across her..
I have CKD and was at 17 GFR a year ago even with restricted amount of meats & fish diet as recommended. Since then I decided to change to vegetarian diet after talking to my nephrologist. I wanted to prolong and stabilize my kidneys function as long as I can. Since then it went from 17 GFR to 20 GFR within 3 months. I am now at 21 GFR. I cook my own food and stick with healthy diet with lower sodium, whole foods, tofu, beans, garbanzo, lots of vegetables. I do have cheat days here and there but I am very limited to what I want to eat in small portion. I hope this helps.
Thanks for sharing!!!
How can reach u directly
Could you include a daily diet intake of urs? Trying to fix my kidneys
@@ucheadaezeobiorah9045 why? Abeg face your front 😊😊
That is wonderful!! My GRF is now at 20 and I’m scared to death. My doctor sees me every 3 months and does bloodwork but has never sent me to a specialist or dietician.
I had 47 and I am on a water fast. I lost 25lbs and now my egfr is up to 57 💪👍The pain in my back is gone!!!
Happy to hear that!
How long do u water fast?
Water fast?
How long u did the water fast for?
Definitely discuss this with your doctor before doing this, everyone. This could be dangerous for very frail patients. Also, as other viewers noted, how long? Was there any diluted fruit juice allowed? What stage are you? How about comorbidities?
When your life is in the balance you tend to listen and pray for the best.
I wish that were true but look at the rise in Covid cases & death! People politically refusing to get vaccinated to save their lives their family & others . All sorts of tomfoolery & stupid excuses, until they realize that they can’t breathe & going on a ventilator 😢 how sad is that ? Covid doesn’t care about their rights or how they feel !! That virus 🦠 is a devil straight from the pits of hell! Worse than any disease the doctor is trying to educate us about! Yet people will not get vaccinated and are reinfecting the vaccinated people ! Enough is enough now this virus is being called the virus of the unvaccinated & it truly is !!!
Also praying doesn’t do anything, unless it makes you feel good to indulge your superstitions.
@@sethtenrec I see you found a need to reply. If you dont believe why waste your time to voice. I believe there is a God and the way you think is make believe absolutely sad...
Hi Dr.FRITA.
Great info, I have had ckd for over 10 years, and I would like to tell people never give up,remain strong,and
discipline one's self.
My GFR - 30-35 remained stable for 10 years + .
When diagnosed with ckd i knew then i needed to change my lifestyle, my diet mainly consists of vegetables, red onions, salads ,fish,olive oil, nuts,green tea and water.
Excluded alcohol, salt,sugar,red meat,coke etc.
My nephroligist is amazed ,stable over 10 yrs .
Love to all, never give up.
PS,I wonder if my meditation and sun gazing has helped?? Who knows.
Wow good for you
Four you take blood pressur pills.& heart and other med
Thts really great
Prayer certainly helps with everything. Really glad you're doing so well, GOD bless.
Do you still have chicken? I know you don't have red meat? Let me know please and thanks
Thank you so much for taking the time to share these life changing tips. Most people don’t understand what it’s like to fight for their life but with diabetes high blood pressure and now ckd stage 3 I’m in the fight but I know God is in control. I really appreciate you. God bless you and your family in Jesus name. Amen
This channel is exactly what I’ve been looking for! I have a GFR of 33. I’ve been trying to find out what amounts of protein, sodium, potassium, phosphorus I should be ingesting. Also, what amount of water I should be drinking. I definitely want to do what it takes to avoid dialysis. You are an excellent teacher and speaker. I’m a retired trauma nurse so I understood what you were saying. But, your explanations are very clear and concise for lay people? I’ll definitely watch your posts. Thanks, so much!
Dr Frita you are a God sent Doctor. My Daughter who has Kidneys Disease you no it really is sad when any one who has this Disease and your Doctor really don't tell you how to help keep you from going on dialysis by the food you eat or anything to help you to help yourself. Thank you for being a light at the end of the Tunnel. You are a God sent🙏
You care about your fellow humans and that makes you a beautiful person on the inside as well as the outside. My husband and I thank you for sharing your knowledge.
@keecefly thanks for teaching how to prevent kidney decease
This is just superb, I have been researching "essential oils to avoid with kidney problems" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Cetoofian Astounded Control - (do a search on google ) ? It is a great one of a kind product for healing your kidney disease minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my cousin got amazing success with it.
Thanks for the Video! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you considered - Chireetler Avoiding Diseases Rule (search on google)? It is a great one off guide for learning how to stop kidney damage without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my close friend Aubrey at very last got excellent success with it.
@@paulrichard4945 l
You people who apologize for butting in, name some wacky product, then say someone you know tried it and got good results are charlatans. Get away from this legitimate site with your illegitimate lies. Can see right through you and your snake oil you’re selling. People with real kidney problems come here for help from Dr. Frita, NOT YOU!!! You change your name and all the people THAT YOU JUST MADE UP who supposedly tried your snake oil you’re selling and you should be SO ASHAMED!!!
Truly sick people come here to learn and not to believe your lies snd made up stories. Go away! You’re being reported by real patients like myself as we don’t have time for your lies and trickery!!
Thank you for your time and information. My name is Steven and a diabetic. My Dr has just informed me that my kidney function has dropped suddenly to a 49; and mentioned that I’ve been at a 65 for a very long time and I want to do everything I can to avoid dialysis in the future.
From your video I now know what specifics to address with my Dr when I see him on June 15th.
Again thank you for caring enough to make a video

The hardest thing at first was how bland everything was and how I felt trapped into such a restricted diet. As I began to adjust to the low sodium in my diet I started exploring different nuts, fruits and vegetables. This added some flavor and variety to my diet.
One great side effect is that I lost 60 lbs in the first year on this diet.
Fantastic.I felt the same way when I started my journey 11 years ago.Now that my tast buds have changed with all the healthy eating I could never go back to the old way. My skin hair nails weight eyes whole body got better
Wow.
Good morning 🌄. Thank you Dr. for explaining about potassium. Do you have video about thyroid . I love your videos 🙏🏿🙏🏼♥️
Awesome
I found that adding citrus juice or vinegars help with easing the bland flavor.
Thank you for taking the time to offer this information. I have Alport Syndrome and am currently stage 4 with a GFR of 28-32 the majority of the time. I have no swelling at all and usually stay pretty dry despite my fluid intake. I was told to intake up to 80 ounces a day, but not necessarily all water because it tends to wash down the sodium and make it low. Of course not everyone is the same, but we all end up at the same conclusion. All of these tips are helpful, and should be followed as closely as possible. I have stated off failure for about 7 years doing all of these things. Stay blessed friends!
I have noticed two things when it comes to any dieting, especially when it comes to struggling to keep up with it.
1. Instead of focusing on what you CAN'T eat, you MUST focus on what you CAN eat :) this one ties into the psychology side of it. It will automatically make changing your diet much easier, because it is an optimistic approach.
2. It is important to change one's view on processed, unhealthy foods. Rather than reminding yourself that it's simply not good for you, you have to change your perspective on it entirely. Processed food is NOT food. You can even go as far as viewing it as poison. But simply viewing processed items as NOT FOOD will eventually help you not even crave crappy food anymore. In fact, the idea of consuming processed food will almost make you feel queasy, which is natural. :)
I hope this helps anyone who struggles with diet changes. I promise these simple tricks will help tremendously! Good luck!
I have come to the conclusion that the only "safe" foods I can eat are lettuce, egg whites and plain water. I'm trying to find out if I may be wrong!
Restaurant Food may come under this category. Not all but quite a bit. Gotta makes that food at home from scratch.
Thank you doctor for taking your time to give us the information we need to fight the battle and make ourselves healthier.
Battle is right.
You are a blessing Dr. Frita. All these teachings you provide to the public for free are life savers.
Thank you much.
My dad just recently got diagnosed with kidney failure,he has started dialysis in the hospital.i want to learn alot,my dad is 82 this year.
🙏
My wife also has problem with her kidney, so she is lowering salt intake and protein intake. Thank you for this good information. Wish everyone come here be healthy🙏
Thank you great advice
I'm so glad I found you this morning.
Very informative video doctor . Your explanations are lucid , detailed yet simple enough for a lay man like me to follow and understand. Kudos
Lucid? How do YOU calculate the grams of this or that in your food????
Dr. Frita, I'm new to your channel. Thank you, for taking the time to educate your viewers. Most doctor's are to busy in their practice to take the time to educate the public. As a active phyiscian I appreciate your personal concern to enlighten the public. Much love to you and what you stand for❤ we need more educated professionals to help our nation grow strong and healthy!🙏❤
Thank you Dr. Frita, very clear explanation. Young generation should have time to listen. May God bless you. Count me as your follower.
feel so blessed to have found you today as will make my job of explaining food choices to my husband!
thank you youtube
I have learned more on youtube than from any doctor. One thing to keep in mind is your phosphorus intake. I first started seeing a kidney doc several yrs ago, trying to improve my kidney function naturally...and not one doctor ever mentioned reducing how much phosphorus I take in. 2 different primary care physicians, 2 different nephrologists, and a 2 day and 5 day hospital stay....nobody has ever mentioned phosphorus. I learned that right here on youtube from people like the good Dr. Frita. Phosphorus is in a lot of foods...especially packaged foods. And even healthy things like nuts, seeds, and chickpeas. How come no doctor in several yrs has ever mentioned that! Its been drug after drug after drug after drug! Thank you for the work that you do Dr. Frita!!
Dr. Frita you have been a God send to me I am so grateful for you sharing your knowledge here on UA-cam thank you for helping me stay healthy. ❤️🌹🥰👍🏽🙌🏽👏🏽🤗🤗
Thank you doctor for such advice you couldn't have put it better it's so simple to understand what we should do in order to live a better life style and still enjoy life . Thank you so much again 🤗
I am a type 2 diabetic and I am doing my best to stay on top of my illness. Your advices in preventing kidney failure are very much appreciated. I can understand how you convey the info in layman’s language as I’m sure most of your listeners do. Thank you so much.

You look so healthy with an amazing glow. What an inspiration you are for promoting the well being of others. Thank you.
Excellent information, thank you, Doctor, you didn't HAVE to do this, your love and care for humanity are evident. God bless you
it's a pleasure watching your videos , i just discovered this channel , this is the second video I've watched and i am really impressed how clear you are , very easy to understand , and concise .
right! she's the best!
Me too. She's wonderful
Thanks for letting us know what to ask the doctor about what tests we should ask about ! I am a type 2 diabetic since 2007 and so many questions. Once again thanks for sharing this 👍🏽
Thank you Dr. Frita for educating us to live better. Thank you for this presentation on CKD diet.
You are more than a DOCTOR thank you so much. God bless you ❤
Oceans of blessings
the best doctor ever!
Excellent! Thank you! My mother has had uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes for years and it's now it's affecting her kidney function. This is very helpful and clear! Thank you so much!
Thank you. I do not have kidney disease but prevention is my motto,
Kidney
You are smart to start a prevention mode! Wish I had had bloodwork done a few years ago when I found my blood pressure was off the charts. Randomly took it one day and it was 154/125. No symptoms (that’s why they call it the silent killer). Wouldn’t come down, took it several days and times of day sitting, standing, and lying them presented to my doc who immediately started me on BP meds. High BP is now what we think caused my kidney damage. I’m Stage 3A. Take care snd God bless!
Excellent explanation, thank you so much.
My husband's GFR is 9% and creatinine is 5.38.
He had the fistula operation ready for dialysis when he needs it.
My GFR is 40%.
I have Sjögrens Syndrome and fatigue and weakness are my constant companions.
My husband is 83 and I'm 72. We have a good Nephrologist but no dietician.
God bless you and your family for your goodness.

I was happy to read your comment because my doctor seemed to indicate that I was too old for dialysis. I'm really disturbed about it. Although you are in Germany; sometimes i think my U.S. medical system wants to eliminate us old people.
@@grandmajane2593 , my husband started dialysis thricecacweek for 4 hours, two months ago at age 85, after kidney failure. It has given him a new lease of life. He has strength, energy and a fantastic appetite. Praise God.
@@renuroy3888 - I'm happy to hear that, it gives me hope. Best of luck to you and your husband. : )
I'm interested to hear about your husband. I'm in my 80's and my nephrologist said I'm too old for dialysis, he said dialysis is for young people.. I've been shocked by this attitude. Several times I have had occasion to think medical care is limited in my country (USA) for old folks. I may have to find another doctor, not sure what I will do. The best of luck to you and your husband. I have time left, not quite ready for dialysis.
@@grandmajane2593 my husband’s kidney readings were almost kidney failure. He would not have survived. He now has a new lease of life. Has an amazing appetite, lots of energy three days dialysis and three days he does shopping etc, he drives, he’s 85. We’re humbly grateful to our Heavenly Father.
Thanks Dr Frita for this very informative lecture .Easy to understand and very useful for us with ckd ❤️
Thanks for your help with my diet. I am trying see how I can reverse stage 3 kidney disease. I was just diagnosed thanks so much for the information DR. FRITA God bless you.
same as my wife. hope you make it! :)
Thank you DR.FRITA God bless you.
Im grateful to come across your channel, Doctor! God bless you❤ my eGFR is 74, creatine is 0.90. No protein in my urine. My concern is the eGFR. I dont smoke, i dont drink alcohol, I regularly exercise (jogging + yoga) 3 times a week. I’m not obese, cholesterol & glucose in normal range, my blood pressure consider low. I’m 37yo. Mom of 2. I’m considering to change my diet and looking for the best diet to improve my eGFR.
Very very good explanation on the correct way of eating for people with ckd. There's just one thing I wanted to add, a lot of patients need more iron in their diet to fight the anemia, a very common cause of fatigue. I've made a video about it and a lot of people found it useful, since this gave them more energy during the day. Many doctors only focus on the survival part of the diet, but I think the quality of life for the patients is equally important. Good video nonetheless
Excellent video content! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you considered - Bonackson Wandalyn Genie (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good one of a kind product for avoiding dialysis and improve kidney health minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate at last got astronomical results with it.

Thank you, Dr. Frita. I was diagnosed Stage 3 CKD. Your presentation was very helpful to me for picking the right food for my renal diet.
Hello Doctor, on my wellness visit, lab found protein in my urine, and was told to drink six to eight glasses of water daily, which that’s all I drink daily. But I am still concern because I just turned 73 with a good medical record. Thank you so much for your input God Bless🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Boy you are a good explainer I am glad I found you. You will be my reference for diabetic and kidney health.

I totally agree with you!
Learned a lot. I am 68, male. I have hyper active desire to urinate. I found the cause....it was 8 cups of coffee, chocolate candy, soda drinks. I stopped all three and have almost eliminated my problem. I was interested in KIDNEY HEALTH and tuned into your video.
Thank you for your video.

It’s a very helpful video to watch 👍👏👏👏
So if u are a kidney failure patient how much do we need to drink aday
And how to get rid of all those water retention?pls help me .thank u so much
God Bless u!
What to limit or avoid in your diet is good to know, but what about things you can eat and are encouraged to eat more of? Thanks, Doc!
That's what I need. What CAN I eat other than radishes and cabbage. ☺
@@suzih.6687 i’m not a medical person, but my understanding is it depends on your own blood results. Do you need to reduce potassium? Do you need to reduce phosphorus? Do you need to reduce proteins? Do you need to reduce sodium (that one’s a probable yes because most people get way too much sodium).
It takes a while to work your way into a functional and healthier diet for kidney disease. In the meantime she did make some suggestions, eat some small portions of fish or lean chicken for protein. Fruits that can be good are pineapple, blueberries, red grapes. Some dietitians recommend white bread instead of whole wheat, white rice same. If you have eggs, just have the whites. Remember even the whites are high in proteins so don’t eat too many.
Seth Tenrec
Thank you
I love those foods
This doctor is very good explaining what to do,how to do it and who can do it
@@sethtenrec Why is pineapples, blueberries, and red grapes good for the kidney? What about oranges and grape fruit?

My doctor told me to drink more water. Thank you for this wonderful information. I appreciate it! God bless you!🙏🏼
I always enjoy your videos and how you work humor in, making it really easy to learn.
Thank you Dr. Frita! Loved the helpful and insightful presentation. I’m here for the knowledge and to maybe help someone. I’m so far, so good with kidney function, but it’s nice to have information to keep it that way. Thanks so much!

Thanks ,Dr. Frita ! My GFR was 47 6 MO.Ago . My symtoms are all improved, by eliminating NSAIDS.ANDKeeping my BP IN CHECK. Had a re-check blood test a few days ago and have Dr. Appt. You are one ❤ classy lady ! I'm a natural man 😉😇
I have stage four kidney disease and have had it for several years. I watch my salt intake like a hawk . I feel my failure is the milk and colby jack cheese which i love. I went to a dietician who set me up with a renal diet. She allows me one ounce of cheese per serving.

I’m in Stage 3A now and starting the cramps.

I find that when my leg cramps start at night, it helps to walk to the kitchen and get a glass of water. I think I may get a little dehydrated.
Thank you. Crazy confusing at times. thought I was eating the right things, but you really do have to pay attention.
I was advised to eat according to my lab results. I'm lower in potassium and am stage 4 now. The same with phosphorus. I still worry about both, and watch how much I eat of both. I use chronometer to track these things. Your videos are so helpful! ❤
Hi, I’m stage 4 as well. Can we exchange emails or number? I would love to
Have someone to
Relate to who understands
Chronometer?
What is a chrometer?
Chronometer?
When you say "delay" do u mean you will still end up on serious kidney problem even when you follow that advice?
Ty. God bless! my mom’s kidney function is 46 from 52 six months ago.
Dr Fritz thank you for taking the effort to make every word count. We get exhausted watching long videos that say little. Yours are packed with critical information without fluff. 👍
I have to drink 80 ounces of water daily, no other drinks are allowed. I am also on a strict diet, however doing those things has helped my kidney disease stay in check and I am feeling much better. At first the diet was very difficult, however after getting in that habit, I no longer have problems staying on it. The hardest thing to give up for me was nothing with baking powder or soda in it, cakes, cornbread and all that good stuff went out the window. Thanks for such an informative video.

Hi Dr. Frita! This video is amazing! I just watched your video because recently, I was diagnose with kidney disease. I have no HPN nor Diabetes but for unknown reason my creatinine is 1.5 and as for my creatinine clearance 61ml/hr and the my Doctor recommend that I should only drink water if I'm thirsty. I don't have any edema on my extremities. The only thing I'm taking right now is Sodium Bicarbonate for 3 months. I hope to hear from you soon. Godbless!
Good morning doctor. Thank you so much for letting us know things to do when it come to kidney infections. I just lost a colleague to kidney failure. She was asked not to take water, but she kept on saying she is thirsty and she went ahead to take much water, well her liver got infected too and there was no money for paying a donor and to do a transplant. It was to cost her eighteen million Naira and because of no help, she ran out of paying for dialysis two times in a week. May her gentle soul rest in peace. Thank you for this handy information.
I’m now having stage 3 issues and I’m really worried. The info is great, I stated making life changes but my mind is still not settled. This is going to take a lot getting use to.
Better to get used to it now, than be sick later. Choose wisely. I wish everyone good health! 🙏
I was diagnosed a few months ago myself in Stage 3A. I think my BP caused kidney damage because I had symptomless BP that was running 150/125 for no telling how long until I just randomly checked it one day. A few years later, boom. Stage 3A suddenly.
god bless you. You can make it!
Your not the only one I hear u loud and clear going thru the same thing 😩
I love your information and don't think that I have kidney problems, but is using your tips to help myself before I really need it. I want to thank you for sharing all the information on Kidney disease and ways to prevent or limit any damage.
Thank you for this valuable information. So clear and concise. Thanks Doc.
This has helped me a lot because of this video I have changed my eating habits greatly and made an appointment with my doctor .I’m 47and currently recovering from bladder infection and I seem to have all the symptoms of kidney disease but of course I’m not sure so Monday it’s off to the Dr
Thank you for this video. Clear, concise, and easy to understand.
Beautiful, rich moment. I watch each of your videos with a real interest, even if I a have a good Health. Thanks for share. God bless you.
Thank you Dr Frita.Those of us with kidney disease need expert,clear advice on how to live with this.
she's our hope!
THANK YOU SO MUCH DR FRITA for these very helpful and insightful tips.Im so grateful that you unselfishly share your medical expertise to all of us CKD patients. GOD BLESS YOUR GOD'S HEART!
I appreciate your calm clarity and guidance. Thank you Dr. Frita.
Wow I’m sad that my doctor never gave me any of this info I’ve had chronic kidney disease for a couple years now
what is your Egfr?
Thanks Doc. for your valuable videos!🥰
My new nephrologist is not too happy😐 & seems bored when my labs returned WNL & stable.
Calls me “moderate CKD”. She wondered why I made appt. She’s accustomed to seeing later stages of CKD.
During the pandemic I’d advanced from stage 2 to 3A. I was shaking the salt & eating for comfort. (which I never did before). All my IM doctor said was “drink more water”.
My GFR is holding @59. During pandemic it was 57. NOT trying to advance to next stage! I drink 64 oz water daily & walk/exercise daily. I do NOT have ⬆️ BP, nor diabetes. My CKD maybe dNa related.
It’s really my dietician & you, Dr. Freda, who’ve helped me understand how & what to eat for BETTER kidney health.
At first I was sad & overwhelmed; didn’t know what to eat. Then I learned abt the nutritional values in food; chose better options & use PORTION control. VERY important. Also used info from NKF.
I no longer can have generous servings of those delicious baked•IN•the skins sweet potatoes & a big (HUGE) “plate” of greens together. (Nor that slice of Chocolate Suicide cake, oozing in decadence!😋)
I learned how to leach the potassium amt from potatoes & eat abt 1/4 cup. I sautée kale/greens vs cooking in water/liquids & have 1/2 c.
I’m a NON-recovering CHOCOholic, but limit my amt to ONE square of dk. Choc., 72% Cocao. I enjoy that w/1 cup of green or oolong tea. Daily.
Thanks again! 🙏🏽 🌹😊

I love this woman. She is so informative.
My doctor never spoke with me about any kidney problems. I went to mychart and seen the results from my bloodwork that said I had gr stage 3 kidney failure. Smh
When I asked if I needed to see a specialist she said don't worry about it.
I guess I need a new doctor.
you are amazing! I wish you were my nephrologist .I learned more from this video than I learned from my doctors in 7 years. thank you so much. may God bless you.
Hi Dr Frita, I am very excited to find your channel and you have greatly inspired me to work hard towards my academic pursuit in Medicine. My question is considering that Doctors have a very busy schedule,how do you manage your career and UA-cam channel without burning out?
she's wonder woman....
I used UA-cam. Thank you for helping mankind.
can't believe this video is free
Thanks, very good information.
I feel it would be more efficient if the video is broken by stage of CKD. So One can concentrate on the desired stage, and review others is so wishes. Thanks again.
Dr. Frita I just began watching your posts, and I really appreciate you saying what my Dr.s are not!
Thank you Dr. Frita, we love you🌹🌹
THANK YOU Dr Frita for making this important information easy to understand!!!! 😊🥰🦋🦋
Thanks for your video. I have a 71 range ml. I did blood test today. It’s said in my notes betweeen 60 to 90 indicates early kidney disease. I’m seeking the best approach to help and better my kidney. I don’t suffer from high blood sugar, nor diabetes. I’m 65 but years ago I was prescribed a med that’s taken off the market for it’s ability to cause cancer, by then I was on it for over 8 years. Had various symptoms such as blood in my urine. I’m trying to fix myself the best I can. Thank you
I've changed the way that I eat, as I've been following the advice of Dr. Frida thank you so much I no longer use the salt shaker at the table , I've increased my water intake 60 oz a day.. I have limited carbs which turn to sugar , no red meat only fish, I treated myself to chicken .I'm reading labels more than ever . And Im walking as much as possible
Thank you Dr Frita for sharing this vital information. I for one have always left my Dr's office confused about what I can and can't eat and this has made going to the grocery store a lot easier for me. I love a good salad but it seems I will have to get used to not putting as much of the things I thought I could have in my salad but that's ok, wanting to live as long as I can without dialysis is more important.
Hopes Nice video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Bonackson Wandalyn Genie (do a google search)? It is an awesome one off product for avoiding dialysis and improve kidney health minus the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my buddy at last got excellent results with it.
Tips for enjoyable and happy. lifestyle.
@@stefanicastillo7023 spamming garbage products to try to victimize sick people. Disgusting.
Very clear, detailed and easy to understand. Thanks.
Hello
You are a god send. Finding your advice is going to help me SO MUCH. I am a mess and I really needed someone caring to inform me of what I need to do or not do. All I seem to get are prescriptions and tests, with no hope. Thank you for doing these videos.
👍🏻 Thank you Dr. Frita, what I use to eat most is forbidden 😔
