James I am an experienced traveler. Italy has plenty of hills and steps. Be forewarned that the ancient steps are very uneven and not handicapped compliment. Work at stepping up high steps. Lift those knees!
Very interesting and informative vlog. My nefrologist gave me a diet which stipulated only white bread not whole grain which I used to eat. Looks like whole grain is better for me with eGfr of 24 looking at your advice.
Hi dr.& James one month ago my doctor send me to go dialysis. But when I saw your show I don’t go dialysis I try eat more veggies , fruit and exercise so far I still feel good no tired, my legs no more swelling but I still have protein in my urine
No. I don’t have protein in my urine. I am age 75 lady and have stage 3B. Diet and exercise really help. I’m off all cola drinks. Water, herbal tea, some milk, and limited coffee are my liquids of choice. Drinking water keeps kidneys flushed. I’d rather go the better choices of food and liquids than ever go on more pills or dialysis. I’ve lost 45 pounds since March 9, 2023. A great show! March 12, 2024 1:12 pm MST

The 1st GLP-1😊 I was introduced to was Byetta... 5 units once a day, my 1st dose put me in the emergency room! My bloodvsugar crashed, but nothing I ingested could stop it. By the time the paramedics got there, it was 35 and still dropping! When the doctor examined me, he said there was no peristalsis. My stomach muscles seemed to be paralyzed! They gave me some drug to start it moving again... me and my overly sensitive system...😳scary. Everybody needs to try for themselves.
What kind of bread can a ckd 3a eat? I need to gain weight. I eat a lot but apparently no caloric intake to make a difference. High calorie food seems to challenge the kidney diet.
Hello from Colorado! I have a dietician and I suggest you do one visit with a local dietician about your specific questions. I haven’t tried soy milk. But it might be ok. I drink FairLife milk and this is a highly filtered product. I cook with it and it’s great in cereal. I don’t eat soy sauce
Also, soy sauce has high sodium. My person said best bread is whole grain breads. Try Killer Dave’s bread. Read all labels on everything. Stop white processed breads. Ask if rye breads are acceptable for your situation. I don’t eat wheat breads either. Many good books on the market now. Please have your doctor recommend a dietician/nutrionist person who advises kidney patients in your local area. I liked my personal and she is now my ‘accountability partner’ monthly. I am age 75 lady. It’s better to make dietary changes vs getting on meds. I’m doing everything possible now concerning my diagnosis last year. We each are on this journey and have many choices to make along the way. Wishing you the best! Stalwart in CO, 03-23-24 3:31 pm
I'd like information or opinions on taking Jardiance for kidney disease. I am very concerned over the risk of necrotizing fasciitis even though my nephrologist wants to put me on it. Thanks.
Trust your feelings about this and get another opinion. If next doctor disagrees, get 3rd opinion. Two out of 3 wins the decision. This isn’t easy. I’m sorry. But these meds go long term and are costly within a year. You have options to research these new meds. What stage are you? I am 3B and have lost 45 pounds with more focused diet and exercise. This is my choice right now. I am age 75 and doing great! You will improve. It’s good to question a doctor and ask why he/she thinks this med is ‘best’ way to go. God Bless You in your path with this. Stalwart in Colorado, 03-12-24 2:41 pm MST
A waste of time posting comments here, rarely if ever get a reply, and if they don't agree with you, they delete your comment. There are other better CKD channels on TH-cam. Try one called Katherine, she is honest and upfront
I like Dr Ro but his comments on weight loss makes no sense. Weight loss is a natural occurrence when a person eats the right way and Dr Ro agrees that eating healthy is important so why would he say that weight loss is not that important. Weight loss is hugely important. It's huge.
I lost about 30 to 35 lbs . I eat two meals a day because of diabetes . My A1C is 6.3 at the age of 62 They are telling me that I have protein showing in my urine . I can tell you my AIC will be lower than 6.0 Because I'm showing low Blood Sugar so it's at it's best . 90- 130 is the highest , blood pressure is at 130 over 78 And that day i didn't take my blood pressure meds . Why am i getting problems now with my kidneys ? and I'm on a pump .
Only your doctor can determine if it is safe to try going off dialysis. If you still produce urine, ask your doctor if they can work out a plan to try to stop. It is extremely rare to be able to stop dialysis without a transplant.
I have read reports that if you subtract 25% of your cholesterol and it is still too high, your body is MAKING THE REST... so the food you eat after that cannot be controlled by diet alone... but my system DOES NOT REACT WELL to any of the cholesterol reducing drugs. Severe cramps, nausea, dizziness... ugh.😢
You don’t see many old fat people because many of them slowly lose weight with age but he didn’t say that obese doesn’t lead to bad health he just said you can have good health reports while obese.
I’m so glad I’ve found your channel Dr. Ros and James. Learning a lot of important info. I got the book too. Thanks
Great to have you here in our community!

Don't most people have it in kidney disease anyway ?

Diet and exercise .
Don’t take any stupid medication . You’re going to damage your kidneys more.
Should I as a kidney patient take CoQ10 question mark
If you're taking statins, then yes.

Bhai kya age hai aapki ? Aur konsi stage hai CKD ki ?
You mentioned using drugs to reduce chlosteral. i thought jsut lowering high glycemic carbs would reduce your chlosteral quite a bit.
You are right
Is activated charcoal good for kidneys?
Great information!! Thanks for sharing with us all ! I appreciate you James & Dr Ro!
Almonds and almond products and spinach gave me kidney stones for the first time.
Does kidney patients need to take CoQ10
Can CKD patients use the poular weight loss drugs that are out there now?
I’m Waiting for you in Italia 🇮🇹…tell me when you will be in my country and i’ll be happy to meet you 👍👍
You can’t out-exercise a bad diet, period!!

Can you lift weights in ckd stage 3
What kind of bread can a ckd 3a eat? I need to gain weight. I eat a lot but apparently no caloric intake to make a difference. High calorie food seems to challenge the kidney diet.
Hello, I wanted to ask if it ok to eat soy products and the best bread to eat. My efgr was 58 I am 62 non diabetic.

Are there any plant based diet home delivery that I can sign up for?
The ones I have seen on the market are high sodium

Isn't it similar to any other sgplt-2 ?

Hello from Australia
Today is 2/19/2024 just saying?is it live or recorded?
What are the drug names, the S and R, and the names of the new drugs?

OK great nice to know you better
No nuts for stoners. No flour, wheat or bran for stoners. Cereal has a lot of salt and sugar etc.

For how long you have been diagnosed with Kidney disease ? & Have you been able to stop this protein in urine ?
Please stay out your blood pressure medication. It actually helps your kidney function.
Dr.I am on dialysis for 4months now and gfr is9 can i still get out of dialysis
im on dialysis too 4 months now
Only your doctor can determine if it is safe to try going off dialysis. If you still produce urine, ask your doctor if they can work out a plan to try to stop. It is extremely rare to be able to stop dialysis without a transplant.
James are you a diabetic ?
"Discover the transformative power of a tailored kidney diet, learn the strategies to slow kidney disease effectively" what is that diet?
My 101 yr old mother eats junk food, no meds
I have read reports that if you subtract 25% of your cholesterol and it is still too high, your body is MAKING THE REST... so the food you eat after that cannot be controlled by diet alone... but my system DOES NOT REACT WELL to any of the cholesterol reducing drugs.

2014 ?
I know I noticed that too😂
The cholesterol changes are a joke- and I disagree about obesity (you don’t see many fat old people!) - I agree with protein being important
You don’t see many old fat people because many of them slowly lose weight with age but he didn’t say that obese doesn’t lead to bad health he just said you can have good health reports while obese.
