CKD stage 5 RENAL DIET: Foods I ate to improve kidney function to stage 3 and avoid kidney failure

- Episode 34: CKD stage 5 RENAL DIET: What I ate that helped get me from being used to high-sodium fast food to stage 3. Not everyone is a great chef and for me cooking is something I have almost no experience doing. I work with a renal dietitian to set my nutritional goals and limits and then shop for items that allowed me to stay on target, yet could be easily made at home and while traveling (I travel a lot). I'm still learning to cook my own meals (starting with Stir Fry) and one day look forward to being a great at-home dad chef. In this video you'll see that a renal diet doesn't have to be difficult to follow as long as you know your nutritional goals and limits and track what you eat to stay within those goals. For me, limiting sodium has been the biggest challenge so far. It can be difficult to find foods lower in sodium without cooking your meals for yourself. To find out what your nutritional targets are, please work with a renal dietitian - even if you can't cook they can help you during your transition.
Some of my favorite foods that are helping me while I learn to cook are shown in this video. I wish I was able to go cold turkey and start cooking all my meals tomorrow, but it's taking me a lot of time to learn to cook things that actually taste good (you don't want to hear about the extra low sodium Chili I've tried to make - I don't even think the dogs would eat it). Tracking my meals has been extremely helpful and made it easy to find quick and easy meals to fit my busy life. My goal is to learn to cook and then prep for the entire week. I know it's possible and I'm excited to get to that point.
Figuring out what to eat when you are stage 5 or stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) can be a real challenge and your Chronic Kidney Disease diet (also known as a Renal diet) is critical to improving kidney function and getting to stage 3 and beyond. When I was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 5 my Docs couldn’t really give me a list of safe foods to eat, they just gave me lots of random renal diet information on don’t eat this, don’t eat that, avoid these. Finding out the best Chronic Kidney Disease Diet / Renal Diet to help my kidney function improve and avoid kidney failure was difficult - but I did it and today I share what worked for me to improve my kidney function and get me to stage 3. I was left on my own to find the best kidney disease treatment that would help me improve my kidney function and avoid kidney failure (end stage renal failure) and dialysis.
I had all of the typical symptoms of Chronic Kidney disease - fatigue, limited appetite, nausea, and insomnia.
I’m going to share with you the most common things I ate in a typical week on my renal diet. It may not work for everyone - you may have allergies, you may have another condition that restricts your diet, we are each different when it comes to our Chronic Kidney Disease diet. Hopefully this will help you to see what I ate on my renal diet which helped me go from stage 5, to stage 4, to stage 3 in only 6 months.

Is there a health update to this video for your results after 45 days of keto?
Do you believe that stage 5 went down to stage 3? I doubt it coz kidney once damaged is irreversible…. You can only slow its progression through diet if you are disciplined. There’s no such thing as what James is saying that he was formerly stage 5, down to stage 3. If that is so, it’s incredible!
May I know on what stage you’re in now, James. Pls share wd us what you did so we can copy them. What you’re eating… breakfast, lunch, dinner. But so you sometimes cheat like us?, hehehe. Especially when in gatherings, we got mo choice but to eat what’s on d table.
What is the best probiotic for stage5 renal
I notice you showed a couple boxes of food. Do you ever look at the sodium in boxed food. They are a no no for kidney function. No salt or sugar.
I just found out 1 week now that I am stage 5 kidney failure. My reading is 13.5%. These few days words cannot Express as I just keep breaking down in tears. I am trying to lift my faith in God and so last night I came across your video. I am a believer that God help those who tries to help themselves. I too will be a living testimonial to this disease and I will definitely be using some if not all your advice
Start here: www.dadvicetv.com/kidney-health-week-1/beat-kidney-disease%3A-my-strategy-to-reverse-kidney-failure%2C-improve-kidney-function-%26-avoid-dialysis This is a great summary of the strategy and how well it's worked for me. Working with a renal dietitian is a MUST - they are amazing.
i'd start downing gallons of water, take baking soda pills and niacin if i were you. cut back on the salt too.
I found out at near Christmas that I, had CKD. It is very confusing when you are told the news. At the time my function was 17% but fell to 13% around Xmas. Once I had gathered my senses I, started to be really strict with my diet. He is right in the video. I know it's not the same for everyone but my kidney function has improved (Saye Belleh). God is in control don't lose hope.
Please read my comments below Nickie... Saye Belleh
@@DADVICETV Activated Charcoal has been proven to improve kidney function. It kept stage 5 patients off dialysis. You should research it. A lot of people have improved their kidney function, so it is not a death sentence.
THIS GUY'S FANTASTIC.....IT'S ALMOST LIKE HE'S BEEN "CALLED," TO THIS MISSION.
I agree!
Mr. DadVice,
I accidentally came across your video about CKD.
I was level 4 ckd but, after watching your videos and changing my diet to mainly blueberries, raspberry, cherries, & strawberries , my kidneys are now up to a level 2.
I've been sharing your videos with everyone I can.
Just as you said... my Dr. said chronic kidney failure is er-reversable!
I showed her my Nephrology report & she was shocked!
I still & will continue eating my assorted berries & nuts!!
I wanted to thank you for posting your videos.
I believe you've saved a lot of lives...
especially IF they'll pay attention to what you're saying & apply it to their
everyday living.
It me some getting used to eating differently! Depriving myself of all that poisonous junk!! Thank you Sir Again.
What other stuff do you eat other than berries & nuts?
Does it good also for a diebetic patient?
This is still incredible! Do you have kidney supplement to support reversing your kidney damage? Pls. share wd us… I’m stage 3B and I’m taking ketoanalogues 9tablets/day. It lowers down my creatinine. Taking it 3 months already. If become stable, nephrologist will cut down to 6tabs/day and so forth.
She added another supplement like Dapagliflozin and my blood works and Microalbumin got better results in a months time only.
❤
I'm a lupus patient, my kidney stage level is ckd5 . My Dr said no water restriction and salt restrictions, I'm little scared abt my life cos I dunno what diet to follow. My creatinine level is 4.2, wanted to lower the creatinine level. After watching ur video, I feel good, let me follow the diet and check...
Only God led me to this channel thank you for sharing I so encouraged
am so glad i finally found someone who walk the talk and have such generousity in sharing ur experiences. wish u all the best, while i start my fight as well...
Thank you Oscar! I believe that is the one thing that really sets my channel apart - I'm not someone talking about kidney disease with no real experience, I'm not dressing up like a doctor to trick people into buying some "cure" I'm pushing - I'm an actual CKD patient who is just following one of the methods promoted by the Mayo Clinic to treat CKD. I never realized just how powerful diet and lifestyle changes can be - and I am so glad I found doctors who believe in Conservative Management as a form of CKD treatment. Glad you are here to join all of us kidney warriors.

You are a blessing to us.... James.... God bless you...
Thanks Sydney for giving us insight on how to take care of our kidney health
That is priceless 💗
Hello, Dadvice ! I try your diet and lifestyle for a week now. Also i'm doing IF, lemon water, strawberries, cranberries, low sodium and calories. I feel great. I've been diagnosed with CKD stage 4 for almost 4 years now, i hope i'm getting better soon. Thank u so much for sharing ! God bless u~ Fans from Indonesia
Keep it up!
Thank you so much for your positivity and support. You’ve given me so much hope after receiving some terrible news last week that i’ve dropped to egfr 15
Wow good for you man I can see your progress and love your set up info which helps us to appreciate what we are getting from you ,keep it up
Hi, James! Many thanks for all you’re doing! I pray for your complete success in this and for you have a very long, healthy and joy filled life with your family.God bless you! Keep your great videos coming pls!
Congratulations on your hard work on achieving your goals!!!
So glad I came across this channel, thank you for making these videos
James, thank you for your advice on foods to eat. You're great and I'll be watching your videos everyday. Thank you sir!!
good stuff and thanks for going through in detail what you eat, really helpful for all of us dealing with CKD
Diet:
• Lots of water(no coffee, juice) iced water is ok (half weight of your body (ounces) you need to take)
• Avoid sodium/salt
• Breakfast: (egg white) 2-3 eggs worth, veggies oatmeal,
• Lunch&Dinner: Gisang gulay/steamed gulay, (vegan foods only)
• White bread only if you want to it breads in the morning
• Avoid all sauces (toyo, suka, ketchup, atbp.)
• Portion control each meal
• Add lime/lemon/calmansi for flavor of your food
• eat Apples (add fiber to your meal)
• Eat it consistently
You don’t need fiber & definitely avoid bread I’d be doing straight Carnivore actually.
Please don’t go Carnivore. The meat will kill the kidneys. Better to go Plant based.
Thanks save me time 😁
Thanks
God bless you James Fabin.
Thank you for your support! Since being diagnosed I have created over 300 videos about CKD and interviewed a lot of amazing doctors, scientists, researchers, dietitians and others in the kidney community. Together we are building a collection of knowledge to give those with CKD hope!
Looks like an awesome set up.Thanks for sharing your experience with us.All this helps so much.
Thank you so much James! Your videos have helped my mom..the doctor asked her to go into dialysis, she refused. I helped change her diet with the help of your videos and a lot of research. Now she is doing so much better and is very energetic. She sleeps better and feels better too. Thank God for wonderful ppl like you who want to help others. God bless you abundantly and heal you completely! Praying for you.
Wow, what an amazing testimony!! Thank you for sharing ❤️
How long were you able to hold the condition Florence. How is she doing now ❤️. My father is in stage 5 impacted with Covid hospitalization .. Been told dialysis. Could u help me with your research.
pls share some of her foods tips because i'm also in stage 4 right now
Thank you so much for Sharing ❤️ I'm stage 3A changing my Lifestyle.Im fighting Every day!!
Can you please share more of what she ate. I am trying to help my dad
Great information James!
I am so glad I found your encouraging videos.
Thank you for all the info and encouragement
Thanks for sharing. Some of us need this kind of info- we are overwelmed trying to figure out what to eat. This will make it so nice with less stress. Thanks Again im very grateful to you. God Bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon
Ha! you're great! I'm watching videos to help my dad. He's on a Dialysis now and poor guy, he is such a foodie! I'm making Christmas dinner for him tomorrow, so checking things out. Thanks so much for your channel!
Thank you James. Good stuff.
Good knowledge. Bless you
Greatly enjoyed learning!
Thank you for sharing. Avoiding all the usual foods is so difficult. But I’m sticking to it. Your video was reassuring me that healing can happen. I’m hopeful. Thank you so much.
You’re too funny!!! Lol...Thank you so much for sharing!!!🧡
Thank you James for all this information. It has been helpful.
Great info. Thank you !
Great advice ! Thank you so much for being so kind and generous.
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the Intel. You have a great delivery. Love your sense of humor. Six years ago the doctor wanted to remove my kidney and adrenals. I even went in for the preop visit. I called the doctor with remorse and told him I wanted to get a second opinion. I’ve never been back. Not 100% yet but working on it. Thanks for all you do. God bless you.
Thanks for sharing with us the videos . I
Thank you James, going to your Website , bless you.
Thank you so much. Thought I was doomed. Stage 4. Ready to fight. Dr actually apologized to me when I went from 3 to 4. Gift was 19. Working my way back up. Thank you for your help!
Thank you do much because I felt hopeless until I saw your video. The doctors still working on this condition, so listening to what foods and things I can eat to improve my health is a blessing.
On 28th of December 2023 I was rushed to hospital with 4%. I thought I had gout. 3 doctors didn't pick it up that my last kidney failed. Im type 2 diabetic and it was the high blood pressure that went on top of that and was too much for my kidney now im on Dialysis been 3weeks now. Thank you ill be taking on your information
Thank you very much for the wonderful teachings ❤️❤️👍
Your videos are very encouraging and stress relief that not to worry and giving belief that i can do and change my life style with smily face not with depression mood. Thanks a lot James.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, experience, and coaching. Also, thank you so much for the behind the scenes setup tour. I am so grateful for the time, energy, and effort you invested in sharing with others how we can help ourselves. All praises for your refusal to accept No for an answer. Bless you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your support!
God bless you James, ThankYou from the bottom of my heart, just love you.
Great video, important info. Love the colorful background, its great!!
im just proud of you !!!!!!!! thank you a million times over
Thanks for your support - I really appreciate it.
These is pretty good video... i have stage 5 ESRD and Stage 4 cancer... went vegan to get off dailysis in 4 months. Its been two years since my diagnosis... not easy fighting both. Started eating grass feed beef due to anemia... i do oats fruits,apples pears blueberries , 2eggs and big salad, no microwave meals. Green and black tea with raw sugar and almond milk. snacks is cheese cake. i used Himalayan salt i have no retention and 8.3% body fat... no bloating for me. I had Nephrostomy tube's to drain my kidneys due to blockage which was removed after two months. Still fighting the battle.
God Bless you!
Keep fighting
How are you doing now?
TO Dadvice : THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for your help and ALL that you do !!!
You are so welcome!
You are fantastic. Such easy solutions.
Thank you so so much for sharing all of your information and helping me and so many others save our lives. May God continue to bless you & yours always🙏🏼❣️✝️♥️
Your experiences in your kidney problem and how your recovery is truly a blessing and a great great help, after all it is not as dreadful and futile. Somethings must be do to reverse the situation. Thank you so much James, your a Godsent. May you to continue sharing your positive experiences. Godbless us all.
Great tips. I can see some hope on the horizon.🙂❤
Very much inspiring and happy video.
I am so grateful I found your videos! God bless you!
Glad you like them!
I want to thank you for the videos of your fantastic journey through Kidney Disease. At first I was skeptical, because at stage 4 kidney disease doctors were saying my kidney function would only worsen, not improve, but I decided to give your advice a try, couldn’t hurt. Because my labs showed a GFR of 24, a creatinine of 2.69 and a bun of 77, my doctor scheduled me to have a vein mapping done for the insertion of a fistula to be used for dialysis that was going to happen soon. But after watching your videos and following your guidelines, I greatly improved my readings to a GFR of 48, a creatinine of 1.51 and a bun of 26 in only one month. My doctor was amazed and said to hold off on any dialysis preparations that I was now a stage 3A. I am going to continue following your advice and hope to improve even better. Again thank you for changing my outlook on living with Kidney Disease.
Outstanding work - keep it up, and all the best to you going forward!
Sam, were you really able to do this in one month. That's awesome . I was just diagnosed and am terrified. Feels like a death sentence. What were all the main steps you took to get a handle on this monster? Thanks Sam. Sincerely,. Mike
Sam, that is amazing. What specifically did you do? That really is amazing.
@@questioneverything594
@@jksatte Right off the bat I stopped eating all meat. Went on a plant based diet. Drank only water and a lot it. 4 cups of Black coffee in the morning then 67 oz. bottled water the rest of the day. Hard at first but got used to it. For breakfast, 3 fried eggs and toast with no-salt butter every other day. Shredded wheat with blue berries and strawberries the rest of the time. Lots of blue berries, about 2 ounces in cereal and 2 ounces strawberries with 1/2 cup of 2% milk. I like Amy's frozen plant based dinners, so I eat them 4 or 5 times a week. Never added salt to anything only pepper. Not much of a cook but sometimes I fry up peppers and onions in a little olive oil and a lot of seasonings for taste. Lettuce, tomato, celery and onion salads with low salt dressing. ( hard to find ). I use tomato sauce and spices and cook green beans, sometimes spaghetti cause I love tomato sauce. It' really very high in Potassium but my blood levels seem to be in the normal range so I cook with it a couple times a week. I have diabetes, so no sugar, but carbs are a problem. I also eat nuts, all kinds, usually unsalted ones about 1 ounce a few times a week.. That's about it. By the way, had blood work done last month and my GFR is now 51.
Hope this helps. If I can do it, anyone can. good luck.
Thank you for your help.
Thank you so much I really appreciate you.
James thank you so much for providing your channel for us to give us hope, I went for a physical about 12 days ago, and found out I got stage 3B kidney disease, egfr 39, protein in urine at 78. You give me a lot of hope in recovering some from this condition at at least maybe stabalizing. I got on the program fast with plant based diet, and chicken/fish. Been on this diet for 8-9 days already. Lots of vegs and fruits. Have eliminated all the processed heavy hitters with salt, even condiments like pepperchini's have heavy salt in them we were surprised. Eliminated processed foods and meats, even a single flour jumbo tortillia has a lot of salt. Good work with your channel!!
Do they prescribed you any medication?
I just found your channel today. I have been told I have Stage 3 kidney disease. Fantastic video! Over the next few weeks, I will be bingeing on your videos and taking lots of notes. Thank you for sharing!!!❤
Results pls
Thank you for sharing!
I admire you, James. Blessings.
Thank you.
I’m so grateful to you Mr.James for your very useful advices about kidney disease. I m in stage 4. Since I watched your videos I learned a lot and now I’m stage 3b. Even I said to my nephrologist that she is not treating me, Dadvice TV is treating me. Dr. Ro’s book is my table book now. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for sharing this I am taking notes and sharing all of this with my husband who had acute kidney failure and has been on dialysis for eight months now.
I salute your courage and what you went through which gives me hope sir
Thanks for your hard work. I hope God blessed you eternally. You got me out of my negative mindset seeing I got a very low number recently. I know I can beat this now.
love your enthusiasm my friend, bless your soul
Thank you!
Your a wealth of information and I appreciate your positivity. I have not been diagnosed with kidney disease, but I’ve had a recent scare and your videos are a great tool I needed to educate myself. Thank you and many blessings to you.
Thanks for your support! I'm glad it was only a scare for you. This is a great time to look at your diet and any habits you have which could be putting additional stress on your kidneys. Then you can work to make changes to help keep your kidneys working great and never have to worry about kidney issues. Good luck!
This was great thank you so much for sharing
love your attitude
Hi James nice to have found you. I know this is an old video, trying to get the 2023. It’s December 2,2023. I hope I can find the most current one.thanks for the tour.
God bless you.
Thank You..I really needed the help with eating
Thanks!
This is helpful!
Hi from Sydney Australia I love how positive you are about this disease, you are helping a lot of people and giving them hope. God Bless.👍
Glad to hear that! Don't miss today's LIVE show with a renal dietitian at 6pm EST: czcams.com/video/3Dfwwnp-qHg/video.html - lots of info, tips, and live Q&A!
New to your video and I really have learned so much good information.thanks

Thank you!

I really apreciate your time and information provided to fight CKD. I Will be following your recommendations and muy doctor's guidance.
Just discovered you and oh my goodness, you’ve turned my outlook around 180 degrees!!! I’m also not a great cook, too tired from anemia, looking for a way to stop my GFR slide. It’s down to 27 now (38 a year ago!). My only worry is cutting out black coffee. Made a list of your foods and will be shopping tomorrow! 😋 thank you 🙏🏻
Check out the videos with dietitian I have - coffee can be part of your diet as long as it’s not too much or loaded with sugar.
I am in stage 5 kidney failure, I'm at 11% now and I have learned more from your videos then my nephrologist has given me in last 6 years! I'm SO frustrated because I've been given absolutely NO food requirements, renal diets or even NOTHING about on fluid requirements!! I started seeing this nephrologist when I was in stage 3 almost to stage 4 well Im now at stage 5! I feel he is just letting me die!! I have little support, besides my parents and siblings and I went from loving life too having my mortality smack me in my face! I'm VERY scared and I need help! There is so many conflicting things on the internet on what I should or should not eat but hearing what actually works is what I want to hear! I still would like à list of foods u can and can not eat and the proper amounts! I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to eat a ton of red meat! I go to the doctor with a list of questions and he rarely answers with a direct answer! He's so nonchalant about my care and I'm super afraid its going to cost me my life!
Brother I went through the same things, diaylsis,makes you feel so much better, follow the diet,take your meds,became a friend with God,and watch your fluid intake,you put alot of fluid,taking off a lot of fluid in 1 session is murder,and watch your phosphorus..you have any questions,hit me up here,I'm Jason
The cooking doc 9n you tube is an actual kidney Dr. A nephrologist, he has tons of quick recipes. The processed crap this guy is recommending is why he is still obese.
Get in diaylsis,and you will see even less,but not to worry he's watching you,thru your blood test,,once your in they have a dietitian at diaylsis,and become friends with the guys that have been there awhile,they have all the tips,wish I could help you more
Kari Hilborn I was the same way,when I first got the news I thought it was a death sentence,,then I started diaylsis,talk to some folks,and felt alot better after diaylsis,,water or fluid intake should be 34 oz,, basically 2 water bottles,,once you get to diaylsis they have a dietitian on staff,stay away from foods with phosphorus,make sure to take your binders,no oranges or bananas,,just watch what you eat if your phosphorus is high,it will borrow calcium from your bones don't want that,,be prepared to loose weight I dropped 100lbs in 3 years,,and if you don't like who is sticking you,don't be scared to ask for someone different
Hi tiger talks, the foods he mentioned on this video is how he ate early after his diagnosis and how he traveled. His diet has evolved and you can learn more on other videos that include Jen Hernandez , a board certified lisened renal dietician. Everyone should speak to their own dietician
I feel like living with you so I can follow your meal every day 🙏
Hi James thank you so much for all the very useful infomation that you shared in your videos. Thank you much. God bless you.Pray for your full recovery.
Glad it was helpful!
I am so glad you're a hard head and didn't take the doctors advice. Got to say you look like ya fill great! Keep on Rockin!!!
Thanks! I do feel great and can't wait to share the details of my Keto diet in just a couple weeks and start the next phase of my journey towards Stage 2!

@@DADVICETV Hi! I was wondering if you have an update on the Keto diet?
It’s nice to know that it’s possible to move up in the stages. I’m going for a jog now. Thanks for the extra and thanks for posting.
Glad to have helped! So far I've gone from Stage 5 (GFR 8) to Stage 3. More importantly I have my energy back and feel great.
@@DADVICETV can you do egg yolk or no?
@@rahat2492
Egg yokes, potassium, and phosphorous are to be avoided by those with critical kidney disease, as well as salt and red meat.
Kidney function at 40 percent, I'm thankful for your videos and food menu. Thank you.
Thanks! all the information on the foods and also how you make videos is so good to know as I made a couple videos on youtube myself on my battle with diabetes and I also had to learn on how to eat properly ... hope you the best and take care too!
Fantastic. Such a friendly, practical and positive approach to a kidney disease diet. Just diagnosed with stage 4 CKD and hoping I can improve my GFR with proper nutrition. This was a great help!
Great to have you here Pat. One note is that we are each a little different, and your dietitian will help you to know HOW MUCH of key nutrients (like potassium, phosphorus, fiber, etc.) you need. Then you can eat based on what you need - making it easier to not over burden your kidneys while focusing on your overall health. It gets easier with time - today I feel like I can go anywhere and eat (I know what my limits are and I stay within those).
Thank you so much!!! I was just diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, still waiting on further results, and I was told to follow the renal diet. I feel like I’ve been buying a lot of produce and my plans for it always fall through. This is so helpful for me, even some of your personal limits, like no more than 700 mg of sodium at one meal is amazingly helpful, thank you!
Nephrotic syndrome? Caused from lupus?
Thank You James for Sharing
Very welcome
I will be following this diet plan
You are such a help. GOD BLESS YOU.
Thanks!
Thank you sooo much from the bottom of my heart for making these videos! It is amazing that you have been able to start the process of healing despite what doctors have told you. I am only 27 and I have polycystic kidney disease (a hereditary one) in which I was diagnosed with as a child. I read about kidney disease and see things like it’s basically a death sentence and it makes me so nervous! I eat a plant-based diet and work out often, but it’s so hard to find things to eat that aren’t detrimental to my kidney health. I really appreciate all of your videos and I’ve been watching some every day! Good luck on your journey and I would love to be able to encourage people about this someday as well ✨
Annie how are you doing?
How are you today?
I’m fine lol I think 😅 just living life
Thank you for sharing. I also have PKD and am so scared. I have watched my GFR continue to fall... currently at 22. Reading your comment and watching James has inspired me to take action. Thank you ❤
love this
God Bless you. Thanks a lot for sharing, spending time and money doing this for helping other people. Wish we could have these videos in Spanish so I could share with some people I know. Greetings from Colombia, South America!
Great information God bless you for a good heart you have to share your experience and helpful information.
I appreciate that. Don't miss the live shows I do on Tuesdays with a renal dietitian. We take questions from the live chat during the broadcast right here on CZcams.
You are a very very generous man...
Thank you for sharing how to make videos!!! Thank you for all your kidney info! GOD BLESS N KEEP YOU!😇💜
Thank you Roni! I started all of this not to be generous, but to keep me focused on getting better and to give me something to do which made me feel productive. My doctor recommended it - and in a way I have everyone who watches my videos pushing me to keep going and getting better. It is that amazing support from our community that helps all of us to see the possibilities and reach for them. Without the support from each other, it would be too easy to give up on this journey. I'm so proud of what has become of Dadvice TV - it has become a resource of information, motivation, and inspiration for so many. And most importantly, it has become a voice of the kidney patient - a voice that is made up of all of our voices. Thank you again!
Great advice thank you
A VERY helpful video! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Make sure to customize your food choices based on your own labs and what your doctors/dietitian recommends.
Thank you for taking time to help us all with Kidney Disease what we can eat.
You're welcome. Getting healthy was challenging for me, but once I started working with a renal dietitian to customize what I ate based on my own labs, things got so much easier and my health continued to improve. Do you currently work with a renal dietitian?
I really enjoyed your positive attitude. I'm at stage four of renal failure. You have really inspired me to keep trying to get to one of the other stages so I won't have to be on dialysis. I see my new nephrologist at the end of this month. I moved that is why I have a new one. Also recently I found out my old one became semi- retired. He isn't taking anymore patients in his office. I hope I can reverse mine like you did.
For me, the most important parts of all of this comes down to stopping further damage and using nutrition/diet to give my body what it needs (not too much, not too little) while reducing stress and the burden placed on my kidneys. I recently added Renadyl ( www.dadvicetv.com/renadyl ) to my treatment strategy - took it for 90 days and got new labs - lowest BUN and CREATININE levels since being diagnosed! I encourage you to check it out and talk to your new doctor about using it as part of your diet. Good luck and always feel free to reach out! Our community of kidney warriors is amazing at supporting each other - and that is a huge boost in kicking kidney disease to the curb!
How are things going now? I hope you have continued to improve.
Thank you so much. I'm stage 4, so i will put to use all this helpful information. God Bless you
Awesome❤😎🙏 thank you!
Thank you so much for your videos, it’s so hard to find decent videos about this. I have stage 3 kidney disease and i truly appreciate everything you do!
Hello. Thanks for your sharing. Watching from Houston Texas.
James, I love the information you provide. Without you and other CZcams champions, I woulld have lost faith. By the way, you look so so healthy in this video. Congratulations! and on your eGfr reversal to stage 3. You're one of my heroes.
Thank you. I'm doing great (so great I've even gained a lot of weight I'm now working off).
