Discussion Points:
1. Background on Low Protein Diets:
* Dr. Rosansky discusses his extensive research and experience in nephrology, highlighting the debate around low protein diets.
* He explains that while some older studies suggested low protein diets might help, more recent evidence shows they can be harmful, particularly for older adults and those with advanced kidney disease.
2. Sarcopenia and Muscle Loss:
* Dr. Rosansky emphasizes the importance of maintaining muscle mass as we age, a process called sarcopenia.
* He explains that low protein diets can accelerate muscle loss, leading to increased risk of falls, fractures, and decreased quality of life.
3. Importance of Protein:
* We discuss how protein is essential for building and maintaining muscle.
* Dr. Rosansky recommends a balanced protein intake, particularly for older adults and those with advanced kidney disease, to prevent muscle loss and maintain overall health.
4. Recommended Protein Intake:
* For most people, the recommended protein intake is roughly half your weight in grams (e.g., 200 pounds = 100 grams of protein).
* Older adults and those with advanced kidney disease may need more protein to maintain muscle mass and overall health.
5. Sources of Protein:
* We highlight various sources of protein, including fish, yogurt, beans, lentils, chickpeas, nuts, and eggs.
* Dr. Rosansky advises avoiding red meat and processed foods, which can be harmful to kidney health.
6. Exercise and Muscle Maintenance:
* Dr. Rosansky stresses the importance of regular exercise, particularly resistance training, to maintain muscle mass and improve overall health.
* He recommends simple exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, lunges, and even just getting up and down from a chair quickly.
7. Misconceptions and Myths:
* We debunk common misconceptions about protein and kidney health, emphasizing that very low protein diets are not beneficial and can be harmful.
* Dr. Rosansky also discusses the importance of managing other health factors like blood pressure and cholesterol to protect kidney health.

James Fabin, I have been studying your's and Dr Rosansky's books and the Lee Hull book for forty eight days. I have lost more than ten pounds. My eGFR is rising. I have a renal dietitian and a supportive Nurse Practitioner. I am in the process of finding a new nephrologist. My old nephrologist wanted me on dyalisis at eGFR 15. I am feeling better gradually every day. I am 76 and I am looking forward to my eighties. I love the new food. God bless you and Dr Rosansky.
Keep up the great work! You are doing amazing!
Thank you both! Dr. Ro you give of your time for free to us! You are so appreciated 😊 love your book!! 😁
Dear James and Dr. Rosansky, you are very precious!
So what does taking "a lot of protein" mean in case of sever muscle loss ( a part of weight workout)?
Thanks!
You both are Gems!! Great video!
Thank you!
Another great video ❤
Protein in the urine, atherosclerosis.... my doctor is worried. My BUN/creatinine ratio is 15, creatinine by itself is 1.89...eGFR last test was 28, up after two full courses of antibiotic dropped it to 23. She wants a fistula if I hit 20... that was 2 months ago. I told her no, it's too soon. She asked me if I wanted to die!! 27:54 27:54 P.S. I'm 70...
What about CKD 3 patients who have one kidney? How much protein should I target?
Dr. Rosandsky's book if great....especially for those new to a CKD diagnosis.
Agree 100%
Well nowdays there are a bunch of new research and videos coming up abt keto and carnivore diets better for ckd and insisting on taking protein and it wont harm kidneys with patient examples making us confused who are following your plant based diet videos what do u have to say about that??
Hi James thank you so
Much,, would you make a video what pills are good for us when have a flu or cold ??? Please please ❤
No word about insulin resistance and general metabolic syndrome as a cause for kidneys health?
I really need to go eat right now, my blood sugar is starting to crash... 😢 hate to miss the rest of this! Ill have to catch the rest later... after tge comments etc...
I'm 72, borderline diabetic, stage 3.5 kidney, keeping blood pressure in check. Struggling with what to eat.
I missed this again. How do we get notifications of the live episodes? I am subscribed and do not receive notifications.
Same
I am doing my darndest to get my egfr back up by following the kidney diet as best as I can.
Don't know what to eat or follow anymore.
Most of the "experts" don't really know either
Just eat a balanced overall healthy diet and get your labs regularly done and as a bonus maybe speak to a dietitian that specializes in kidney disease if you have and you will be fine. Labs are very important and will dictate what's going on. Check vitamin D, renal labs, and albumin to creatinine ratio or aka ACR
I just got my lab results. Everything was fine. 😆
Hello james and Dr Ross im doing well i missed your live , very good information im holding steady at 37 -38 no protein in urine,i no longer need to do my blood pressure rates daily just a couple times a week ❤
I'm from Philippines, stage 3b and I'm in chemotherapy cause of leukemia.can I cut my oral chemo doses?
Un caro abbraccio dall’Italia a James e a Dr. Rosa 🌹 ( in italiano significa rosa)
Thank you! I’m still working on my Italian. But I plan to be very fluent by the time I retire to Italy!
We are all waiting for you James…( please don’t forget Dr Ro👆)❤
I assume plant based protein's best sources are beans matched with grains that complete the protein, but what concerns me about that is two fold. 1. Oxalate levels. My husband's type stone that started his kidney problems was calcium oxalate type. 2. Grains and beans raise blood sugar/insulin leading to diabetes which is also associated with kidney decline. So, I truly worry about a plant based diet for him. Am I in error about best plant based diet protein sources?
Calcium citrate capsules can bind the oxcalates. You can open the capsules, and add a little bit into meals.thst have high oxcalates. May need a tiny bit of coconut oil 1/4 tsp to prevent constipation. Brown rice protien powder, hardly has any carbohydrates, just protien, can take the place of the need for so much legumes beans. Nutribiotic name brand.
Stage 3a for 6 years
How you maintain that?
James you didn’t ask Dr Ro about his vacation, I think he said he was going to Europe
He had to cancel his trip, so him and his wife Alice spent time with family at home. Hopefully they will be able to reschedule it.
So, what kind of protein? Meat is typically to be avoided, though it is a complete protein. Powdered protein products are full of additives, flavor enhancers, sodium and sugar? Egg whites have about 7 grams each, and not rich in amino acids. What to do?
Eat the entire egg
What about stage 4 ?
My EGFR dropped to 16 and went up to 21 I still don't understand how it works
To my understanding a good GFR is between 90 to 120. As long as it doesn’t go below 60
@@lisamanfredi4193Did you even read Angelo's question before responding Lisa? 🤔
@@charmingintrovert3240 yes I did I don’t understand much about it either that why I said to my understanding but I can be wrong
Yes your at stage 4. But diet and what you eat can make it fluctuate over time. Get on Reynadle it helped stabilize your egr
And I'm trying to stay off the dialysis
Hi doc Ro and dadvice. If you have kidney scar in ultra sound. Automatic you hsve ckd?
If my ALBUMIN is low does that mean I’m not having enough protein?
Yes, you need to eat protein at every meal
@@WolfModig thank you
Also please speak with a nutritionist that specializes in kidney issues, don't believe you Tube videos
