Managing chronic kidney disease (CKD) means keeping an eye on sodium intake—but how much is safe, and what can you use instead of salt? In this clip, Renal Dietitian Jen Hernandez breaks it down: - Aim for 1,500–2,000 mg of sodium per day if you have CKD or high blood pressure, depending on your stage and your provider’s advice. - At lower intakes (like 2,000 mg or less), many patients see better blood pressure control, reduced swelling, and even lower proteinuria. - Skip added salt—try flavoring meals with herbs, spices, garlic, citrus, vinegars, or salt-free blends to keep meals tasty and kidney-friendly. Consistent, low-sodium cooking helps protect your kidneys and your overall health. Always consult your nephrologist or renal dietitian to customize your ideal sodium target and seasoning strategies.

Feeling weak and losing weight with a low GFR? In this clip, Renal Dietitian Jen Hernandez shares practical tips for CKD patients who struggle with appetite loss and are worried about maintaining their weight. She recommends: - Eating small, frequent meals or snacks throughout the day to gently boost calorie intake—even when not hungry. - Choosing high-calorie, kidney-appropriate foods and calorie-rich supplements to prevent malnutrition, especially in advanced CKD stages. - Focusing on nutrient-rich fats—like olive oil and nuts—and modest amounts of quality protein to support energy levels without overburdening the kidneys. - Working closely with your renal dietitian to create a personalized meal plan that helps maintain weight without compromising kidney function. You don’t have to go hungry or lose strength. With right-sized meals and smart tweaks, you can protect your weight—even when appetite is low. Always check with your healthcare provider before making diet changes.

In this short clip for the August LIVE Q&A video, Renal Dietitian Jen Hernandez breaks down a key question for people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and proteinuria: Should you increase protein intake to compensate for the protein you're losing in your urine? Here’s what she explains: For CKD patients not on dialysis, eating more protein can actually increase stress on your kidneys—possibly worsening proteinuria. - Instead, guidelines recommend a low-to-moderate protein diet—about 0.6 to 0.8 g/kg body weight per day, tailored to individual health needs and stage of disease. - This approach helps manage kidney workload and may slow progression of CKD, especially when guided by a renal dietitian. - If you're on dialysis, higher protein is needed—but that's a different situation entirely. Bottom line: Don’t automatically eat more protein just because you're leaking it in urine. The key is the right amount of protein—plant-forward, moderate, and customized. Always consult a renal dietitian to tailor your intake to your stage of CKD and treatment plan.

Episode 339: In this inspiring Dadvice TV interview, I talk with Jeff, a retired aerospace engineer and fellow kidney warrior, who shares how he used data, determination, and the right guidance to fight back against chronic kidney disease (CKD). Jeff’s kidney function began to decline following major surgery for bladder cancer, where his bladder was removed and replaced with a urostomy bag. This new setup led to complications like hydronephrosis, and repeated CT scans with iodine contrast further strained his kidneys. Over several years, his eGFR dropped from 95 to a low of 46. But Jeff didn’t give up—he took an analytical approach. He tracked every eGFR result, plotted them, and even tried to predict when dialysis might be needed. Although his urologist warned that CKD doesn’t always follow a predictable path, Jeff doubled down on his research, exploring low-protein, low-potassium diets, working with a renal dietitian, and eventually trying a kidney-targeted probiotic he discovered on his own journey. The result? His eGFR jumped into the high 50s, then 60s, and eventually hit a peak of 87—his highest reading since surgery. This is a must-watch conversation for anyone with CKD who wants real, honest insight from someone who’s been in the fight and found a path to better labs and better living. - What caused Jeff’s eGFR to fall - How he tracked and analyzed his kidney decline - What helped him finally improve his labs - Why a data-driven mindset gave him hope - The impact of diet, expert guidance, and persistence Kibow Biotech, the makers of Renadyl arranged for Jeff to be available for the live interview. They did not provide or review the questions asked. Renadyl is a kidney-friendly probiotic developed by Kibow Biotech to help reduce nitrogenous waste, reduce inflammation, and support a healthier gut microbiome, which plays a crucial role in CKD management.
