Could you talk about hepatitis? I recently discovered u should cook frozen berries before eating. And I've eaten kilos every week for many yrs without doing this.
You are wrong about Rheumatoid arthritis Dr Ekberg. Rheumatoid factor indicates a great deal of inflammation because Rheumatism attacks soft tissue as well. Rheumatism attack heart, lungs, Kidneys, pancreas, gall bladder and many other soft tissue organs.

Dr Stan my kidney was 62 GFR i turn 60 yr old this yr 2023 by follow your kidney diet this yr got my blood test my GFR is 96 myDr said keep doing it by watching yr channel thank Dr Stan Ecburg
My kidney numbers were off, and I worried because my mom died from kidney failure. She drank alcohol, and refused to take blood pressure meds. I don't drink alcohol, and refuse any drugs not necessary. I consulted a pharmacist, and learned that I was holding my urine too long, and not drinking enough water. When I changed my ways. my numbers edged to better ones. Such a great feeling, and this video is MUCH appreciated.
0:18: 🍽 The video discusses the stages of kidney disease and the difference between a standard renal diet and a healing diet. 5:24: 📚 The renal diet does not apply to 80% of people with kidney disease, but for the remaining 20%, it is crucial to limit sodium, potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen, and possibly water intake. 9:44: 🍎 The main contributor to kidney disease is type 2 diabetes and hypertension, and managing insulin resistance can help prevent 90% of kidney diseases. 14:24: 🥦 The importance of managing potassium levels in kidney health and the potential benefits of garlic and cherries. 19:13: 🥦 The video discusses various foods and their potassium and phosphorus levels, with a focus on a low-carb or ketogenic diet. 23:37: 🥦 The X list discusses various foods and their suitability for a renal diet, highlighting their nutritional content and potential benefits. 28:38: 🥦 The speaker discusses the impact of certain foods on kidney health and suggests working with a nephrologist for personalized guidance. 33:56: ✅ The speaker discusses the benefits of certain foods for kidney health and suggests specific dosages for different stages of kidney disease. 39:09: 🍉 The renal diet focuses on controlling damage rather than limiting minerals, but it is mainly applicable to chronic kidney disease. The goal should be to address the underlying cause, such as insulin resistance, which leads to kidney failure, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome. Recap by Tammy AI
I'm in my mid-70s now. When I was 14 a doctor told my mother to not allow me to drink sodas because I had weak kidneys. I took that seriously and stopped drinking any sodas. 4 years later my granddad who was a heavy Coca Cola drinker died of kidney failure. That reinforced my decision. My kidneys are in excellent condition. I've avoided heavily processed food most of my life, cooked from scrtch and gardened a lot as healthier choices. I prefer water to drink.
@@lauranipper5084 Good question. I'm having more bloodwork in mid-August and will ask for the eGFR test to determine my kidney function. Thanks for the heads up regarding that.
I don't have any problem but this video is very helpful to many people. Thank you Dr! 1. Onion 2. Garlic, Ginger 3. Cabbage 4. Berries 5. Olive oil 6. Cucumber 7. Radishes 8. Whole chick 9. Fish 10. Kale
Love everything on this list except radishes. We eat lots of onions, and I love cabbage, and all the cruciferous veggies. Garlic is awesome, and ginger is such a good remedy for caiming an upset tummy. Lots of protein in chicken, and love kale omeletes with swiss cheese, and spices, cooked til the edges crisp, then sprinkle with brewer's yeast, or parmesan. Eating healthy shows in hair and fingernails first. My Nurse Practitioner told me that is how she could tell that I ate a healthy diet. And, we should stay off the PATHETIC scale when trying to lose weight. Our clothing let's us know if we go up or down, and if it is true weight or fluid buildup. Scales are dreadful things that lie if you put them on an even slightly uneven surface. LOL
I work in a doctor's office and I hate telling patients that they have chronic kidney disease. And the only recommendation the doctor has to offer is stay hydrated... I'm like there has to be something more than just staying hydrated before diagnosis and when diagnosed. Thank you for this video.
Hello … I was just diagnosed with stage 3 CKD … I asked to see a dietitian and they told me I don’t need it .. just to lose weight watch my sugars and sodium.. I just want to cry 😢
Hi, my Dr didn't tell me to do anything. She just took blood test and ultrasound. She told me to come back in three months. It was my first time seeing her
@@ritabrandow1318 … update … I found my own dietitian.. spoke to them yesterday… just have your pcp give you a kidney dietitian referral.. that’s what I did .. do your own research 🧐.. cause like my kidney dr didn’t do or say much . Good luck 🍀
Thanks very much. I went plant based and low carb a few months ago but still eat fish. I listen to my body. Amazing how God made it. It let's you know what you can eat and what not especially when going through health situation. So I listen to my body and pray for healing and health. Already healed.
Whpatp plants you eat?? Like salad daily and veggies? What ones please I have pcos insulin resistance now menopause.. But isn't your plants diet alot of carbs????
For those of you that have joined recently.. I catch every video of Dr Sten I find and save it on my Playlist under his name if you want to see previous ones. He says there are 500. Maybe little bit more by now. I haven't got all yet but do have quite alot. Whenever I see ones I haven't seen before I just add it to the list. Thank you Dr Sten. You're a sweetheart and as brilliant as a professor. Everything you teach us is so inlightning... Things no one has ever told us before. And it's so interesting to listen to you. You are the best teacher in the world. We feel like we are medical students listening to our professor. You are some kind of miracle... ❤️
The best thing that you can do to improve kidney function is intermittent fasting for at least 3 months and cut way down on carbs. This is also the cure for diabetes 2 which is the number 1 cause of kidney failure.
I always believe in combining two or more vegetables to balance out the nutrients. I would not eat spinach everyday. S/times I mix spinach with kale. I have blueberries with bananas. I eat nuts with dried fruit spricots or raisins.. Approx. six out of 10 times my meals contain onion, garlic and ginger. I add ginger or peppermimt to regular tea. Hope this helps someone. Senior.🙏☘️🥳
Do you have kidney disease? I was diagnosed recently? Creat 1.41 gfr 53... I don't see my doctor again til Oct 31 he has told me nothing, but It sounds like have late stage 2 or early stage 3
Hello, Dr. Ekberg. I am so happy you talked about this because I am a CKD 3A patient and am confused about my diet. In my February bloodwork I moved up to Stage 2 (eGFR 68.5/Crea 0.69) which was awesome, but last May my eGFR went down again to Stage 3A (eGFR 56.7/Crea 0.82). I was devastated. I figured it was my diet. I had mostly vegetables 6 months ago but then I ate meat again and did some fasting. I think protein and intermittent fasting are bad for me. However, my doctor told me that I don't have to worry about my food intake but recommended that I have a balanced meal. He didn't recommend fasting at all. No renal diet for me, he reckoned. Watching this video made me more relaxed. Thank you very much, Doc. You explained better than any doctor I met. God bless you.
This channel is a god sent gift to humanity. Thank you for presenting the information in such a digestible manner, Dr. Lost 20 pounds in 2 months and going strong. Wishing you all the best.
Had a 15 percent boost in gfr after drinking alkaline artesian spring water two months before my blood test. Been at 39 percent for over a year now, C Force water was the brand. Low was 29 then went to 44 percent, stabilzing at around 39 percent.
WOW!!! 4.5 hours of videos this week Dr! Well done :) and soooo informative, I can go along the list and be like yep, nope. BUT YOU are able to tell us "why" yes and "why" no. And that is why I put a lot of trust in you. Thanks for the hard work! Almost 3 million, You are a true health champion Dr!
@@GTSN38Not too long if you are in CKD and we are who he is trying to help. Im soooo grateful for his easy to understand videos. Helping much more than burned out Nephers.
@@GTSN38 my friend says this too. HOWEVER, I am a nerd, I want the data! These videos are what I am watching when I am watching "TV". I never want to let myself fall back in the trap and I want to arm myself with knowledge when I am trying to save someones eyes, feet, life. I've been getting pretty good effect from saying things like " that leg is purple, that foot will be coming off soon". Or " you've cut out fat and gotten fatter, do you think maybe sugar could be bad?" Dr Ekberg is just my quiet retreat from this insane world where I can focus on what matters and regroup my thoughts properly.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg. Very vert informative. Clearer than what our Nephrologist provides. Continue to be a blessing to humanity. An avid follower here!
I recently recovered from a UTI and found that consuming a significant amount of dried cranberries was incredibly effective. However, I agree with your observation that the sugar content in them is comparable to that of soda, which isn't an advisable choice. Although I have allergies that prevent me from consuming artificial sweeteners, I am willing to give your suggestion of non-sweetened cranberry concentrate mixed with water a try. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg! Your knowledge and expertise are truly amazing, and I am constantly learning so much from you.
Monk fruit is low glycemic. No aftertaste like stevia and agave. Some people find the taste fruity. It comes from Asia and has a role in Chinese medicine The price has come done and you don’t need a lot to sweeten drinks.
I went whole food plant based no sugar no oil no salt (WFPB-SOS) after smelling beef in my urine at stage 3a CKD. Saturated fat increases insulin resistance and causes kidney damage as sell. So I would recommend keeping portions small, 4 ounces or less. Some kidney professional recommend saturated fat be kept to 5% of calories or less.
It’s very humbling for a person that was once a long distance runner 🏃♀️ out of love, and aerobic activist . I’ve got such a battle because I have many causes to my illness , stress will kill one if they don’t find a way to lower anxiety. Here comes Daichi.
All my blood tests say me eGFR is around 66 to 69... I have had several over the last couple of years. My doctor has taken urine samples and given me ultrasounds to check my kidneys and every time they say they are fine. They have told me that I just naturally have a low eGFR and there is nothing to worry about. I am worried though. The blood tests began because I keep having gout attacks even though I don't drink alochol, I don't eat seafood and I eat very little red meat.
@ 27:15 Go to the organic section and buy the unsweetened cranberry juice in the glass bottle (don't remember the brand name). It's hard to drink but at least it doesn't have loads of sugar negating the benefits of the cranberries.
Hi Dr. Ekberg. Thanks so much for this video. My eGFR varies between 40 and 60 and has done for over 10 years. I tell my doctor that is because I take creatine monohydrate as a supplement for weightlifting. Lifting weights and creatine both raise creatinine but my doctor doesn’t want to hear it. My eldest son (48) was told he also had CKD. He visited a kidney specialist (nephrologist) and after many tests the specialist informed him that the eGFR test wasn’t suitable for everyone and that he didn’t have CKD. Now to my question. I take methylene blue (40mg) per day. Do you think this could help or harm my kidneys? Thankyou.
If you are reading this there’s a reason……No matter how good or bad you have it,wake up each day thankful for your life.Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs ❤️🇧🇸
please help me- i am 79 years of age a diabetic 1. i have been having lows and from youth been told to eat sweets or sugar in water, and as you know kidney trouble i now have- how do i up a low and not eat candy or sweet pop. mine is root beer? thank you- hope you read this. you have helped a lot already.
I ferment cauliflower, along with many other fermented vegetables. I think they are good for you. The fermented cauliflower is crunchy after a 6 day ferment. Dr Ekberg, do you have any advice on fermented vegetables please, as probiotics especially. Thankyou.
I am 24 years old. I learned a few weeks ago that my eGFR has been between 60 and 70 for a year. I missed the best opportunity for treatment. It remains at 70 today. My kidneys still have 50% function. I may receive hemodialysis before I am 30 years old. I even want to end my life early because I don’t want to be tortured by the disease. Kidney disease is an incurable disease. If your kidneys are good, please continue to stay healthy and don’t leave any regrets in life.
@@cherukururuthwik2347 You can ask your doctor to prescribe some sodium bicarbonate to slow down the condition. Maybe you can hold on until you are 60, my friend, and I am not married yet and have nothing. It doesn’t matter. Going to the hospital to review eGFR82 a few days ago gave me a glimmer of hope to live.
I understand being worried and scared but also be hopeful because there are a lot of factors at play ,specifically what is the cause of it . I also was diagnosed 3a at 25 yrs old and its been almost 20yrs now and tho it slowly declined i am still at 3b and have seen improvement this yr by the grace of God . Make sure your bp is always under control and try and have an active lifestyle even better if you have an active job not one sitting at a desk .
@@dhid2184 It's crazy to know that I have lost more than 20 years of life. I am still very scared. It's not because of anything. I still have my mother at home, and she doesn't know about it now.
Could you please discuss our food that is sooo high in oxalates that deplete and steal the nutrients in our body? Like not eating Spinach. This affects our kidneys so bad that leads to painful kidney and bladder stones. How do we balance this intake to get rid of pains and kidney failure? I checked with the kidney specialist because i’m getting sick. Taking spinach smoothies for 3 months and ending in ER with kidney failure. Caused by toxic high oxalates in diet. Thank you. No more high oxalates like spinach, no chard, no nuts etc!
I love Dr. Ekberg's videos, I've listened to almost all of them all the way through at work and at home. Starting to reccomend this channel to my friends and family, since over the last 3 months or so I've lost a significant amount of weight, put on muscle (from all the eggs I eat now), and my original goal to begin with was honestly just fixing my health problems after years of excessive alchohol consumption. People have seen the changes on me, and I hope that's enough to get them hooked, as well. I just wish there was a channel like this, but for our beloved pets... I have a cat that I want to feed right, too, but she wont eat eggs. 😅 (For context: I am 27, female, 3+ months off the booze and on the Heath Champion lifestyle. I've lost around 30 lbs. My health is overall a lot better, but my liver is still kind of sensitive due to the slow process of healing, and the tap water at my new apartment is horrifically full of chemicals. Just bought a water filter, as a start to fixing that problem.)
@dirtclodboi For me, it just feels like some inflammation. It's not painful, but enough to notice that something isn't right. It used to be worse after a night of binge drinking. Now, it's just mild occasionally if I've had too much coffee or something. It would also flare up before I finally cut out energy drinks, too. Most people who also struggle with alchohol are also familiar with the feeling. It's a pretty subtle but clear sign that it's time to make a change. Additionally, if it's painful, then you might definitely need to see a doctor.
My lab references show Greater than 60 as good…. Now I see that at 74 I am actually stage 2 CKD…. Thanks Dr Ekberg for educating me of this. I am now motivated to work at getting this number in the dark green zone ….
Hi im 28 years old and i did both side PCNl surgeries due to stones and My EGFR is now 60 whats the best things i can do to improve my EGRF While be careful from Kidney stones Please let me know❤️
I have done a liver cleanse, use 2 cups kale, 1 cup blueberries, 1 cup kefir, freeze. then blend, with one.cup water- blend well and drink before breakfast..I ha e done on round of this mixture x 15 days, stop 1 week, repeat..yes, issue is that after all the ingredients are mixed, it is a quart of liquid to swallow!! How will I know if this is effective??
Dr Chaffee has a friend of his that was gonna die of kidney disease and just eat carnivore and it's still alive and doing a whole lot better. Can you explain Dr. Ekbert?
I'm confused. 10 super foods to help the Kidney, but he covered 25 things and had issues with most of them. I didn't really hear anything that stands out as a super kidney food. Also, my creatinine was said to be 1.5ish.......does that mean I'm between 1-2 in this scale? Or is creatinine different than this 1-5 scale?
I have a question. I was born with one kidney not functioning- a birth defect. It will never function, although it was not 'removed' when I was three years old. I have been living with only one kidney (perfectly healthy) for 67 years. Do I have kidney disease or just a birth defect?
Good advice, giving the whole picture. One thing though: Berries are fairly high in oxalates, especially raspberries. Most berries are restricted or eliminated from a diet treating kidney damage.
Thank you for another informative video! I used to drink the 100% cranberry juice years ago once in a while for a health issue you mentioned. I never knew about ‘natural flavors’ back then. Nor did I realize years ago that high amounts of natural sugars were not good for you. Wow, I’m glad and thankful to be getting informed by your videos!
The best thing that you can do for kidney function/failure is to do intermittent fasting for at least 3 months and cut way down on carb consumption. This is also the cure for diabetes 2 which is the main cause of kidney failure.
I was on dialysis for 8 months because my kidneys went into shock after an allogenic bone marrow transplant to cure AML leukemia and I got GVHD. My perfectly healthy kidneys totally quit working one day and went back to working one night eight months later. There's only 2 positive things about total kidney failure, you never wake up to urinate because you don't anymore and after finishing a session at the dialysis clinic a greasy cheeseburger and soft drink never tasted better. I think that was because for the first time in 40 years I had clean blood. You don't want kidney failure. I know from experience. I'll never complain again about waking up to urinate again. I say a prayer for all kidney patients. It's not an easy lifestyle.
Hi I am thankful for your video . My mother is 66 years old and her critinine is 3 almost and her GFR is 22 she is blind and diabetic plus hypertension patient . Her hemoglobin is 8 and ferritin is above 1000 , lungs has some water sound and very weak - additionally if you can give some hope or advice I will be thankful. If such patient take vitamin d and vitamin b12 or multi vitamin is that ok or harmful for kidney
The problem is most nephrologists are like most establishment doctors who are ignorant about nutrition and metabolic health. From my experience they steer you away from a low carb diet and more towards a plant based low fat diet.
Don't know the stage, but my kidneys have problems that are static. They test it yearly with a special testing procedure. Lots of meds, hyperthyroidism, overweight. Exercise or diet don't help against IR at 62 yrs of age. Any suggestion would be welcome.
Ok, but also make sure you follow health advice and see a doctor. Belief in God doesn't mean you don't need a doctor, and if you're referring to spiritual things vs physical, then you've just come here to post misapplied scripture
A fervent faith walk is important, but we need to remember that God created science, and gave us the gift of good health care and medicine. He's the author of everything our body does, and I truly believe Dr. Ekberg is anointed to help us care for our temple.
The Bible says not to eat both shellfish or pork. But many times, God says to sacrifice an animal. Here kitty, kitty. But don't eat a snake or a donkey, both of those animals talk in the Bible. God rains frogs down on the Egyptians in anger. Eat frogs.
Hello sir,can you help us know what food can eat for a person who have taken away thier gallbladder?really appreciate it if you notice me..thanks for answer..
Hey Dr. Ekberg, I watched your Livestream. I only was able to hang in there until my bedtime...8:00 pm. That put me at the 3 hr mark. I'm really looking forward to subscribing when I get back home from vacation in just over a week. It's very exciting, and you must be thrilled! Hope it all goes well! Hope you have a good weekend!
I am wondering if I have any kidney disease as been having severe pain in my back, particularly the left side under the shoulder blade. I am already disabled and very restricted on diet anyway. I like sugary foods too much and up till recently did not have diabetes. My bp has always been high . I have quite severe thrush and have had utis. Any advice would be most gratefully received. Thank you,
Glad I found these videos. I have been leaning towards much of these principals without much guidance. This has definitely helped me define and hone my plan.
Thank you so much, I’ve recently been dx with stage 1 kidney disease, I’ve already been following your herbal advice since I was dx with stage one breast ca. I’ve been practicing intermittent fasting to starve the cancer of carbs since I found you on TH-cam in February of 23, I’ve lost weight was considered pre diabetes, but I guess one is either diabetic or not. So I’m trying to reverse my dx of both . And I’m already considering eating raw cranberries. Once upon a time I used to hand rake cranberries for a summer job. I can eat them bitter
I would also combine the info here with Dr. Boz and the "ratio". This medical doctor had to face both parents with cancer to start her change in testing patients. Combined they are saving my life
My friend is stage 3. He won't stop eating canned and processed food. .He doesn't seem to place any concern about what's healthy. He is diabetic on Ozempic and some other med for diabetes. Can you please say why canned and processed foods are bad? Thank you.
Dear Dr. Eckberg, Thank you some much for posting your videos. I am wondering about your views on a NYTimes article from June 14 about an obesity drug. The article says "...the futility of prescribing only diet and exercise as a treatment." It is sad and disturbing and angering how misguided people are.
Thank you for the great breakdown on what can help repair kidney function, and by the way Food to Live has powdered Cranberries organic and no added sugar. It is a smooth powder that dissolves well compared to other brands I have tried and is more shelf stable that the bottled variety.
Dr.Ekberg, please, you are not only a very good doctor and good speaker but a very nicely dressed in blue. The bluest shirt look on you the best. Thanks for your good taste on color for you. I feel enchanted and all the time looking to see/hire you again.
@@dadadadave100 Nattokinas (bromelain and curcumin) is what I'm eating, based on dubious internet recommendations. At this point I regard most alt medicine as snake oil although most of it harmless, but the mRNA shots are real poison. I don't really expect to fully recover.
I was doing OK with the COVID shots and boosters until I forgot and missed a scheduled booster, and that’s when my GFR dropped into ESRF. I’m doing fine now with “the jab” and a kidney transplant. I’d be a fool to skip the COVID boosters again. .
I have been on NO Salt for years. It is made of several kinds of Potassium. This last time I had labs my Egfr was 48. Could this have anything to do with it?
Another great video as always.. Dr. Ekberg, can you please make a detailed presentation on recommended/restricted diet as per one’s blood group/type, any true relevances? Thank you
Ive been trying to eat more vegetables and added a high sulfer salad 2x daily. Cabbage, kale, collards, parsley, beets, daikon, etc. But most of these are high in oxalytes. So am i harming my kidneys?
@Jeff yes I alsoneat 3 eggs with my large salad cooked in grass fed butter and for my second meal it will be some kind of local organic meat, altho usually no more than 3 oz as I don't like meat very much. And a cooked veg. I do fast 18-23 hours daily and have been for 2 years. Just concerned that the 5 cups cruciferous veg might be hard on the kidneysas i had a bad reading (54) a while back. (All subsequent r3adung have been "normal", but hover around 60)
Hi Dr Ekberg, What about stage 3a CKD stemming from high blood pressure? A1C and glucose are fine, we're pretty sure the CKD is a result of HBP, not necessarily excessive sugar.
Dear Dr. I am experiencing persistent pain around my kidney. Despite multiple clinic visits and tests, the results have consistently shown as normal. What will be the case or what will I do in such cases? The Dr.s undertook Blood tests, urinary analysis and ultrasound tests and obtained normal results many times.
I have started low carb diet nearly two months ago. Lost none or 1kg during this time. A little discouraged about this. Im trying to be near keto rate of fat to carb ratio with eating 2 times a day. One meal has been 4 eggs and avocado. Other meal has been low carb vegetables with meat and some fatty yogurt and berries for desert. With both i have plenty of olive oil and butter. I also move a lot. Wall climbing, swimming and pushin people in wheelchairs multiple times a week. Hoping things will turn for the better.... About to turn 32 this year and im at 116kg, so not that good if i cant drop weight.
@@rayvac7743 thanks for your reply. I can take a look at that, but for the past few days i feel like things have taken a turn for the better. Im almost positive i reached ketosis by a more strict and higher fat content diet.
You should do an fasting insulin test. I did and I was 3 points away from having high insulin which makes it harder to lose weight. I use some ACV and it’s suppose to help keep insulin levels lower. Good luck!
Thanks SO MUCH for your knowledge and time for Us 😊😊😊😊😊😊 more ..... Is ☕ COFFEE, 2 to 4 cups SAFE for kidneys functions???? Pesticides and herbacides laced or internal caffeine in the bean ????
I’m thinking of literally starving myself to reverse all my dx . Seems like everything can kill you . In my 20’s I used to eat one meal every other day and I was slim but became anemic over time.
I’m feeling the same way. So complicated. I cured my numerous diseases symptoms with the Lion Diet . Easiest uncomplicated diet ever. Beef/salt/water but after 3mo I lost too much weight…still felt great and healthy but too skinny for my preference. Still thinking fabulously uncomplicated Lion is for me…and have yet to hear any evidence against it.
Avoid sugar, processed white salts, stop using vegetable oil or canola. Start using real unsalted butter and olive oil. Intermittent fast minimum 16 hrs a day. Eat cucumbers
Wonderful! You simply give up on us CKD5 patients, oh you can get dialysis or you can get a transplant. You CKD5 patients are so far and few in between. It's too late! Let' just focus on stages 2, 3, and 4. Thanks a Bunch!!! So glad I'm not giving up on myself like that Dr. Ekberg!
I've seen videos on Baking soda but not the cheap cleaning one that heals the kidneys. I'd love to know the drs opinion on this. One stated her father took it every day, I think it was a tablespoon in water but not sure. He was stage 4 and he is doing alot better she said🤔
Agreed! You do a CKD video and give virtually NO advice or hope for CKD 4/5 folks. Worthless video; I usually enjoy and learn from your scientific viewpoints. Very disappointed.
He focuses on preventative modalities and advised seeing a nephrologist past stage 2. You can still apply all of this knowledge for the lesser stages to yourself.
I agree doesn't make one feel good at all. I'm stage 4 and definetly believing with change in life style I can improve my kidney function. I have none of the systems or check none of the boxes they say one should have in my stage 4 position. Hope you are getting along well.
@@vittoriovuocolo2438It's good to know that. Thanks. I was or am pre diabetic, have some high BP, and 12 years ago I noticed some foam in the urine. I went to a specialist, and he said it's alright ( probably he only treat people when near death ), but I began to take medicines to control BP, eliminated all sugar I could, but I'm too sedentary. I fear doing exams, I fear they could reveal I'm about to die. Well, 12 years later, I'm still here, there's a little foam in the urine that never went, but I don't feel anything strange other than that. You're right, we need to do a low carb diet, do not eat processed food, and do exercises. ❤

I don't drink alcohol, and refuse any drugs not necessary. I consulted a pharmacist, and learned that I was holding my urine too long, and not drinking enough water. When I changed my ways. my numbers edged to better ones. Such a great feeling, and this video is MUCH appreciated.

0:18: 🍽 The video discusses the stages of kidney disease and the difference between a standard renal diet and a healing diet.
5:24: 📚 The renal diet does not apply to 80% of people with kidney disease, but for the remaining 20%, it is crucial to limit sodium, potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen, and possibly water intake.
9:44: 🍎 The main contributor to kidney disease is type 2 diabetes and hypertension, and managing insulin resistance can help prevent 90% of kidney diseases.
14:24: 🥦 The importance of managing potassium levels in kidney health and the potential benefits of garlic and cherries.
19:13: 🥦 The video discusses various foods and their potassium and phosphorus levels, with a focus on a low-carb or ketogenic diet.
23:37: 🥦 The X list discusses various foods and their suitability for a renal diet, highlighting their nutritional content and potential benefits.
28:38: 🥦 The speaker discusses the impact of certain foods on kidney health and suggests working with a nephrologist for personalized guidance.
33:56: ✅ The speaker discusses the benefits of certain foods for kidney health and suggests specific dosages for different stages of kidney disease.
39:09: 🍉 The renal diet focuses on controlling damage rather than limiting minerals, but it is mainly applicable to chronic kidney disease. The goal should be to address the underlying cause, such as insulin resistance, which leads to kidney failure, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome.

I'm in my mid-70s now. When I was 14 a doctor told my mother to not allow me to drink sodas because I had weak kidneys. I took that seriously and stopped drinking any sodas. 4 years later my granddad who was a heavy Coca Cola drinker died of kidney failure. That reinforced my decision. My kidneys are in excellent condition. I've avoided heavily processed food most of my life, cooked from scrtch and gardened a lot as healthier choices. I prefer water to drink.
I’m curious what your eGFR is?
@@lauranipper5084 Good question. I'm having more bloodwork in mid-August and will ask for the eGFR test to determine my kidney function. Thanks for the heads up regarding that.
@@1charlastar886 looking forward to it
That must be alot of coke to cause kidney failure… moderation is key
Water Water water is the answer before it's too late
I don't have any problem but this video is very helpful to many people. Thank you Dr!

Love everything on this list except radishes. We eat lots of onions, and I love cabbage, and all the cruciferous veggies. Garlic is awesome, and ginger is such a good remedy for caiming an upset tummy. Lots of protein in chicken, and love kale omeletes with swiss cheese, and spices, cooked til the edges crisp, then sprinkle with brewer's yeast, or parmesan. Eating healthy shows in hair and fingernails first. My Nurse Practitioner told me that is how she could tell that I ate a healthy diet. And, we should stay off the PATHETIC scale when trying to lose weight. Our clothing let's us know if we go up or down, and if it is true weight or fluid buildup. Scales are dreadful things that lie if you put them on an even slightly uneven surface. LOL
I work in a doctor's office and I hate telling patients that they have chronic kidney disease. And the only recommendation the doctor has to offer is stay hydrated... I'm like there has to be something more than just staying hydrated before diagnosis and when diagnosed. Thank you for this video.
Hello … I was just diagnosed with stage 3 CKD … I asked to see a dietitian and they told me I don’t need it .. just to lose weight watch my sugars and sodium.. I just want to cry 😢

It let's you know what you can eat and what not especially when going through health situation. So I listen to my body and pray for healing and health. Already healed.

Whpatp plants you eat?? Like salad daily and veggies?
What ones please
I have pcos insulin resistance now menopause..
But isn't your plants diet alot of carbs????
For those of you that have joined recently.. I catch every video of Dr Sten I find and save it on my Playlist under his name if you want to see previous ones. He says there are 500. Maybe little bit more by now. I haven't got all yet but do have quite alot. Whenever I see ones I haven't seen before I just add it to the list.
Thank you Dr Sten. You're a sweetheart and as brilliant as a professor. Everything you teach us is so inlightning... Things no one has ever told us before. And it's so interesting to listen to you. You are the best teacher in the world. We feel like we are medical students listening to our professor. You are some kind of miracle... ❤️
The best thing that you can do to improve kidney function is intermittent fasting for at least 3 months and cut way down on carbs. This is also the cure for diabetes 2 which is the number 1 cause of kidney failure.
If you high sugars, intermittent fast a minimum of 12 hrs a day, avoid soda, processed foods and toast
@@ceciliaabdalla4954 14 to 16 hours is about when the fasting really starts. Currently I’m on a 20 hour fast right now.

Went meat and water only and cleared up chronic kidney issues within a month.
@@seanveach950 what kind of kidney issues did you have?
I always believe in combining two or more vegetables to balance out the nutrients. I would not eat spinach everyday.
S/times I mix spinach with kale. I have blueberries with bananas. I eat nuts with dried fruit spricots or raisins.. Approx. six out of 10 times my meals contain onion, garlic and ginger. I add ginger or peppermimt to regular tea. Hope this helps someone. Senior.🙏☘️🥳
Spinach can lead to kidney stones (oxalate). I have had them 3 times. Blueberries are great but you might want to avoid bananas (high potassium)
Do you have kidney disease? I was diagnosed recently? Creat 1.41 gfr 53... I don't see my doctor again til Oct 31 he has told me nothing, but It sounds like have late stage 2 or early stage 3
Hello, Dr. Ekberg. I am so happy you talked about this because I am a CKD 3A patient and am confused about my diet. In my February bloodwork I moved up to Stage 2 (eGFR 68.5/Crea 0.69) which was awesome, but last May my eGFR went down again to Stage 3A (eGFR 56.7/Crea 0.82). I was devastated. I figured it was my diet. I had mostly vegetables 6 months ago but then I ate meat again and did some fasting. I think protein and intermittent fasting are bad for me. However, my doctor told me that I don't have to worry about my food intake but recommended that I have a balanced meal. He didn't recommend fasting at all. No renal diet for me, he reckoned. Watching this video made me more relaxed. Thank you very much, Doc. You explained better than any doctor I met. God bless you.
This channel is a god sent gift to humanity. Thank you for presenting the information in such a digestible manner, Dr. Lost 20 pounds in 2 months and going strong. Wishing you all the best.
I have a leaking kidney which has caused high blood pressure. I will enjoy this video.
Had a 15 percent boost in gfr after drinking alkaline artesian spring water two months before my blood test. Been at 39 percent for over a year now, C Force water was the brand. Low was 29 then went to 44 percent, stabilzing at around 39 percent.

I'm 42, with high blood pressure & 50 pounds overweight but I exercise regularly. My eGFR is 116
I recently recovered from a UTI and found that consuming a significant amount of dried cranberries was incredibly effective. However, I agree with your observation that the sugar content in them is comparable to that of soda, which isn't an advisable choice. Although I have allergies that prevent me from consuming artificial sweeteners, I am willing to give your suggestion of non-sweetened cranberry concentrate mixed with water a try. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg! Your knowledge and expertise are truly amazing, and I am constantly learning so much from you.
i find lemon water and coconut water and d mannose plus probiotics to keep those bad bacteria out of the bladder. Cranberry never did anything for me.
Try d-mannose instead next time
Monk fruit is low glycemic. No aftertaste like stevia and agave. Some people find the taste fruity. It comes from Asia and has a role in Chinese medicine
The price has come done and you don’t need a lot to sweeten drinks.
Acupuncture can fix a UTI in one session.
Plant sweetners can be things like banana, apple.
I went whole food plant based no sugar no oil no salt (WFPB-SOS) after smelling beef in my urine at stage 3a CKD. Saturated fat increases insulin resistance and causes kidney damage as sell. So I would recommend keeping portions small, 4 ounces or less. Some kidney professional recommend saturated fat be kept to 5% of calories or less.

All my blood tests say me eGFR is around 66 to 69... I have had several over the last couple of years. My doctor has taken urine samples and given me ultrasounds to check my kidneys and every time they say they are fine. They have told me that I just naturally have a low eGFR and there is nothing to worry about. I am worried though. The blood tests began because I keep having gout attacks even though I don't drink alochol, I don't eat seafood and I eat very little red meat.

Hi Dr. Ekberg. Thanks so much for this video. My eGFR varies between 40 and 60 and has done for over 10 years. I tell my doctor that is because I take creatine monohydrate as a supplement for weightlifting. Lifting weights and creatine both raise creatinine but my doctor doesn’t want to hear it. My eldest son (48) was told he also had CKD. He visited a kidney specialist (nephrologist) and after many tests the specialist informed him that the eGFR test wasn’t suitable for everyone and that he didn’t have CKD. Now to my question. I take methylene blue (40mg) per day. Do you think this could help or harm my kidneys? Thankyou.
If you are reading this there’s a reason……No matter how good or bad you have it,wake up each day thankful for your life.Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs ❤️🇧🇸

I am 24 years old. I learned a few weeks ago that my eGFR has been between 60 and 70 for a year. I missed the best opportunity for treatment. It remains at 70 today. My kidneys still have 50% function. I may receive hemodialysis before I am 30 years old. I even want to end my life early because I don’t want to be tortured by the disease. Kidney disease is an incurable disease. If your kidneys are good, please continue to stay healthy and don’t leave any regrets in life.

I understand being worried and scared but also be hopeful because there are a lot of factors at play ,specifically what is the cause of it .

Could you please discuss our food that is sooo high in oxalates that deplete and steal the nutrients in our body? Like not eating Spinach. This affects our kidneys so bad that leads to painful kidney and bladder stones. How do we balance this intake to get rid of pains and kidney failure? I checked with the kidney specialist because i’m getting sick. Taking spinach smoothies for 3 months and ending in ER with kidney failure. Caused by toxic high oxalates in diet. Thank you. No more high oxalates like spinach, no chard, no nuts etc!
I love Dr. Ekberg's videos, I've listened to almost all of them all the way through at work and at home. Starting to reccomend this channel to my friends and family, since over the last 3 months or so I've lost a significant amount of weight, put on muscle (from all the eggs I eat now), and my original goal to begin with was honestly just fixing my health problems after years of excessive alchohol consumption. People have seen the changes on me, and I hope that's enough to get them hooked, as well.
I just wish there was a channel like this, but for our beloved pets... I have a cat that I want to feed right, too, but she wont eat eggs. 😅
(For context: I am 27, female, 3+ months off the booze and on the Heath Champion lifestyle. I've lost around 30 lbs. My health is overall a lot better, but my liver is still kind of sensitive due to the slow process of healing, and the tap water at my new apartment is horrifically full of chemicals. Just bought a water filter, as a start to fixing that problem.)
What does that liver sensitivity feel like?
@dirtclodboi For me, it just feels like some inflammation. It's not painful, but enough to notice that something isn't right. It used to be worse after a night of binge drinking. Now, it's just mild occasionally if I've had too much coffee or something. It would also flare up before I finally cut out energy drinks, too. Most people who also struggle with alchohol are also familiar with the feeling. It's a pretty subtle but clear sign that it's time to make a change.
Additionally, if it's painful, then you might definitely need to see a doctor.
Congratulations on your recovery! Both from alcohol dependence, but in addressing other areas of your health. Keep going! ❤

Also, my creatinine was said to be 1.5ish.......does that mean I'm between 1-2 in this scale? Or is creatinine different than this 1-5 scale?
@picklesandufo7960 it should be less than 1.1
I have a question. I was born with one kidney not functioning- a birth defect. It will never function, although it was not 'removed' when I was three years old. I have been living with only one kidney (perfectly healthy) for 67 years. Do I have kidney disease or just a birth defect?
@@Jeff.78 My sister thinks having had one kidney all of these years means I have kidney disease- thanks for clearing this up. She follows you.
Good advice, giving the whole picture. One thing though: Berries are fairly high in oxalates, especially raspberries. Most berries are restricted or eliminated from a diet treating kidney damage.
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for another informative video! I used to drink the 100% cranberry juice years ago once in a while for a health issue you mentioned. I never knew about ‘natural flavors’ back then. Nor did I realize years ago that high amounts of natural sugars were not good for you. Wow, I’m glad and thankful to be getting informed by your videos!

I was on dialysis for 8 months because my kidneys went into shock after an allogenic bone marrow transplant to cure AML leukemia and I got GVHD. My perfectly healthy kidneys totally quit working one day and went back to working one night eight months later. There's only 2 positive things about total kidney failure, you never wake up to urinate because you don't anymore and after finishing a session at the dialysis clinic a greasy cheeseburger and soft drink never tasted better. I think that was because for the first time in 40 years I had clean blood. You don't want kidney failure. I know from experience. I'll never complain again about waking up to urinate again. I say a prayer for all kidney patients. It's not an easy lifestyle.
I use D-Mannos powder and capsules for the cranberries, not the fruit with sugar.
Hi
I am thankful for your video . My mother is 66 years old and her critinine is 3 almost and her GFR is 22 she is blind and diabetic plus hypertension patient . Her hemoglobin is 8 and ferritin is above 1000 , lungs has some water sound and very weak - additionally if you can give some hope or advice I will be thankful. If such patient take vitamin d and vitamin b12 or multi vitamin is that ok or harmful for kidney
The problem is most nephrologists are like most establishment doctors who are ignorant about nutrition and metabolic health. From my experience they steer you away from a low carb diet and more towards a plant based low fat diet.
Yes, I agree as my husband is on dialysis and the drs are not well versed on nutrition.
Corporate health advisors dont recommend healing only symptom suppression.
Very true
so how is the kidney supposed to heal without the most bioidentical proteins to the human body?

Don't know the stage, but my kidneys have problems that are static. They test it yearly with a special testing procedure. Lots of meds, hyperthyroidism, overweight. Exercise or diet don't help against IR at 62 yrs of age. Any suggestion would be welcome.

Thank you so much, I’ve recently been dx with stage 1 kidney disease, I’ve already been following your herbal advice since I was dx with stage one breast ca. I’ve been practicing intermittent fasting to starve the cancer of carbs since I found you on TH-cam in February of 23, I’ve lost weight was considered pre diabetes, but I guess one is either diabetic or not. So I’m trying to reverse my dx of both . And I’m already considering eating raw cranberries. Once upon a time I used to hand rake cranberries for a summer job. I can eat them bitter
I would also combine the info here with Dr. Boz and the "ratio". This medical doctor had to face both parents with cancer to start her change in testing patients. Combined they are saving my life

Dear Dr. Eckberg, Thank you some much for posting your videos. I am wondering about your views on a NYTimes article from June 14 about an obesity drug. The article says "...the futility of prescribing only diet and exercise as a treatment." It is sad and disturbing and angering how misguided people are.

I was doing OK with the COVID shots and boosters until I forgot and missed a scheduled booster, and that’s when my GFR dropped into ESRF. I’m doing fine now with “the jab” and a kidney transplant. I’d be a fool to skip the COVID boosters again. .
Gracias me diagnosticaron insuficiente renal y me ayudó mucho escucharlo me dió esperanza bendiciones
Lemon water
I have been on NO Salt for years. It is made of several kinds of Potassium. This last time I had labs my Egfr was 48. Could this have anything to do with it?
You do need some potassium to maintain a healthy blood pressure. Low sodium is also bad for you - I would check with a dr and check your levels.
Another great video as always..
Dr. Ekberg, can you please make a detailed presentation on recommended/restricted diet as per one’s blood group/type, any true relevances? Thank you
Thank you Dr. Ekberg..
@@SR-ii4rx yeah I said the same thing I would like to know as well his views about eating for your blood type!!!
Ive been trying to eat more vegetables and added a high sulfer salad 2x daily. Cabbage, kale, collards, parsley, beets, daikon, etc. But most of these are high in oxalytes. So am i harming my kidneys?
@Jeff yes I alsoneat 3 eggs with my large salad cooked in grass fed butter and for my second meal it will be some kind of local organic meat, altho usually no more than 3 oz as I don't like meat very much. And a cooked veg. I do fast 18-23 hours daily and have been for 2 years. Just concerned that the 5 cups cruciferous veg might be hard on the kidneysas i had a bad reading (54) a while back. (All subsequent r3adung have been "normal", but hover around 60)
Hi Dr Ekberg,
What about stage 3a CKD stemming from high blood pressure? A1C and glucose are fine, we're pretty sure the CKD is a result of HBP, not necessarily excessive sugar.
What is your 2 hr insulin fasting ... look into blood code or hona ir chart .... ???? Love to know what happening and diet you do
I usually Watch most of your video more than one time. It is so educational that i need to rewatch for better understanding.
May God bless you. Watching from Uganda
Dear Dr. I am experiencing persistent pain around my kidney. Despite multiple clinic visits and tests, the results have consistently shown as normal. What will be the case or what will I do in such cases? The Dr.s undertook Blood tests, urinary analysis and ultrasound tests and obtained normal results many times.
I have started low carb diet nearly two months ago. Lost none or 1kg during this time. A little discouraged about this. Im trying to be near keto rate of fat to carb ratio with eating 2 times a day. One meal has been 4 eggs and avocado. Other meal has been low carb vegetables with meat and some fatty yogurt and berries for desert. With both i have plenty of olive oil and butter. I also move a lot. Wall climbing, swimming and pushin people in wheelchairs multiple times a week. Hoping things will turn for the better.... About to turn 32 this year and im at 116kg, so not that good if i cant drop weight.
Undereating happens a lot, especially if you are active. I don't do keto, I am carnivore and had to up the amount of food to lose the fat.
@@seanveach950 thanks for your tip. I will keep an eye on that
Check thyroid possible
@@rayvac7743 thanks for your reply. I can take a look at that, but for the past few days i feel like things have taken a turn for the better. Im almost positive i reached ketosis by a more strict and higher fat content diet.
You should do an fasting insulin test. I did and I was 3 points away from having high insulin which makes it harder to lose weight. I use some ACV and it’s suppose to help keep insulin levels lower. Good luck!
Watching from Zimbabwe very informative Doc thank you so much
If someone follows you for one year he will never fall sick in life. I am a great fan of your knowledge. Thanks.
Thanks SO MUCH for your knowledge and time for Us 😊😊😊😊😊😊 more .....
Is ☕ COFFEE, 2 to 4 cups SAFE for kidneys functions???? Pesticides and herbacides laced or internal caffeine in the bean ????
Thanks a lot for this information about clearing up our kidneys! 🤗

I’m thinking of literally starving myself to reverse all my dx . Seems like everything can kill you . In my 20’s I used to eat one meal every other day and I was slim but became anemic over time.
I’m feeling the same way. So complicated. I cured my numerous diseases symptoms with the Lion Diet . Easiest uncomplicated diet ever. Beef/salt/water but after 3mo I lost too much weight…still felt great and healthy but too skinny for my preference. Still thinking fabulously uncomplicated Lion is for me…and have yet to hear any evidence against it.
This is a good thing, as long as you don't eat nothing will happen, but at least two meals a day
I have stage 3a kidney disease - Should I be avoiding high oxalate foods (blackberries, buckwheat)?
Avoid sugar, processed white salts, stop using vegetable oil or canola. Start using real unsalted butter and olive oil. Intermittent fast minimum 16 hrs a day. Eat cucumbers
Wonderful! You simply give up on us CKD5 patients, oh you can get dialysis or you can get a transplant. You CKD5 patients are so far and few in between. It's too late! Let' just focus on stages 2, 3, and 4. Thanks a Bunch!!! So glad I'm not giving up on myself like that Dr. Ekberg!
I've seen videos on Baking soda but not the cheap cleaning one that heals the kidneys. I'd love to know the drs opinion on this. One stated her father took it every day, I think it was a tablespoon in water but not sure. He was stage 4 and he is doing alot better she said🤔
Agreed! You do a CKD video and give virtually NO advice or hope for CKD 4/5 folks. Worthless video; I usually enjoy and learn from your scientific viewpoints. Very disappointed.
He focuses on preventative modalities and advised seeing a nephrologist past stage 2. You can still apply all of this knowledge for the lesser stages to yourself.
Hey how are you getting on with CKD5?
I agree doesn't make one feel good at all. I'm stage 4 and definetly believing with change in life style I can improve my kidney function. I have none of the systems or check none of the boxes they say one should have in my stage 4 position. Hope you are getting along well.
First time here and thank you. I just learned I had kidney disease and my dr just took tests. Then told me to come back in three months
It's about all they do
I had that visit over 20 years ago .I went low carb and stopped the decline.
@@vittoriovuocolo2438It's good to know that. Thanks. I was or am pre diabetic, have some high BP, and 12 years ago I noticed some foam in the urine. I went to a specialist, and he said it's alright ( probably he only treat people when near death ), but I began to take medicines to control BP, eliminated all sugar I could, but I'm too sedentary. I fear doing exams, I fear they could reveal I'm about to die. Well, 12 years later, I'm still here, there's a little foam in the urine that never went, but I don't feel anything strange other than that. You're right, we need to do a low carb diet, do not eat processed food, and do exercises. ❤
What do you mean when you say 6-12 twelve with your supplements like pills??

Tried celery and cherry juice. They do not get rid of gout in 24 hours, more like 3 or 4 days
