Why More Restriction Is Not the Answer for your CKD

from 5 Things You Can Do Right Now to Protect Your Kidneys with CKD · host Kellsey Reed RDN, LDN

If you have been cutting out more and more foods since your CKD diagnosis and your labs are still not moving, this episode is going to be a turning point for you. Kidney dietitian Kellsey Reed breaks down one of the most harmful myths in CKD nutrition, that more restriction means better kidney protection, and explains exactly why that belief is working against you. You will hear what the 2024 KDIGO clinical practice guidelines actually say about CKD and diet, why cutting protein too dramatically can drive your creatinine up instead of down, and why the most kidney-protective foods on the planet are probably sitting on the list of foods you have been told to avoid. If you have ever felt like you were doing everything right and getting nowhere, this episode will explain exactly why and what to do instead.
