Can What You Eat Reverse Kidney Disease?

Today we have a really fun topic. We are going to talk about how what you eat can affect your kidney function and if eating healthy can actually reverse chronic kidney disease. This is a longer video, so make sure to stay tuned until the end to hear all the good things we are going to talk about - especially if you want to do everything you can to protect your kidneys.

I am going to share several stories about my patients with kidney disease, go over how and why a healthy diet can help your kidneys and then I am going to finish with some real practical suggestions on how you can incorporate a more plant-based diet into your daily regimen.

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.
