- Episode 51: Lower Creatinine Naturally: Improve your Kidney Health and avoid kidney failure. There are many ways to help lower creatinine fast with kidney disease and I share how to lower creatinine levels naturally without supplements, herbs or medications. The most impactful is eating a lower creatinine diet with more fiber that your renal dietitian helps you with. When you lower creatinine your kidney function (GFR) will increase and your BUN will decrease. If your levels are high, then you need to take action so that you can avoid kidney failure and dialysis and nothing beats doing it the natural way with diet and lifestyle!

Dadvice TV - Kidney Health Coach You gave me hope and made me start looking. It all got worse when I developed (probably) viral cardiomyopathy a couple of years ago. I have a crt-d, a fancy sort of pacemaker and that’s repaired my heart. I’m implementing one thing at a time. First plant based, now onto double checking all those little things. A lot of the plant based whole food doctors are starting to talk about kidney disease impacts. So it’s working.
+Roseanne Byrne Glad to hear things are working - it amazing how powerful our diet is at keeping us healthy. My doctor recently told me that I have added at least 10+ years to my kidney health already! I plan to continue improving and adding more years. Keep up your diet and let’s beat CKD together!
Glad to hear that Roseanne! Implementing change one step at a time also helps to determine what works and what may not since we are all a little different. I see a change starting to happen more with doctors talking more about the power of diet and what we choose to eat/drink. It is also getting much easier to avoid animal protein with companies like Beyond Meat. Of all the meat alternatives, I personally prefer theirs for burgers and the like - much more kidney friendly than what is offered by the makers of the Impossible Burger. Would love to see them reduce sodium in their product, and hopefully that will come soon.
There are a few tips worth trying
drink lots of water.
eat watermelon - this helps reduce kidney disease .
try taking vitamin A and drink organge juice - these can reduce kidney disease .
cut down on meat, cucumber, radish and alcohol.
(I learned these and why they work on Jaylands kidney kit site )
Great Videos and information!!! Just tried to see your Kidney warrior shirt but its not showing up.
I was stage four last month. My dr had me on two water pills for three years dried out my kidneys. My kidney dr. Wasn’t giving me any info. I couldn’t find any good info online. You are the first person who has given me good advice. Solid advice. I was starving myself before you. I was tired of all the contradicting sites. Now I am eating well I went from 24% to 37% I am now stage three. My creatinine level has gone from 2.5 to 1.7 I’m on my way to being Gods miracle. I believe He has His hand on me. Praise Him! Thank you for your guidance.
Amen!!
God is awesome May I ask how did you do it?
what the gfr now?
Could you tel me sir , how ? Diet ?
Amen by his stripes we are healed ..
My doctor never told me anything. The only thing he use to say is see you in six months or see you in four months with the test results. Your show has helped me a lot. Thank you,
If its a clinic with a nurse practitioner working from a general blood urine screen, you get what you pay for. Thats criminal they didn't tell you anything beyond numbers. I'm sorry to read that. They don't say a word until you're a step away from dialysis...then they might. They aren't trained in nutrition and careful not to step into nephrology territory . So how do you know when you need to see a specialist to understand whats really happening? You don't. Learn all you can and find a doctor who respects your condition with compassion.
Doctors just collect money and don’t care about us
@@XoXoG not all.but most of them
My hubby has ah 16.4 uric acid and a 3.0 creatinine.im really depress and worried about him.his joints are painful..dont know what to do..we cant go to doctor.bcoz we are afraid that..the doctors.just gonna say that he need to a have a dialysis..we cant trust most of them..their just gonna.make u feel anxious and not motivate you.
No wonder... He needs to ensure his income. 😄
Thanks James… I was at stage 5 and now I am at stage 3. It took about a year and a half.. Thanks to you and all the people you have on your show….. I am truly grateful to you. and all of them…! ❤️. Keep the faith everyone. I know how hard it can be at times.! Thank you so Much JAMES. !!! ❤️❤️
Barb can you message me?
@@kathleenford2685 Hi Kathleen.!
@@barbm.sobeautiful5935 Can you send me an email so I can tap your brain about this lowering creatine?
Hey @Barb
hello, i just wanna ask that just by lowering creatinne did ur kidney function raised?
Awesome wish I can do this for my mum
My doctor is useless. They did not share my eGFR numbers with me for years. I only found out my eGFR was 58 when I went to emergency for another unrelated reason. I was shown my previous eGFR numbers for over a decade showing me they were in the low 70s. I am heeding all of the Dadvice given here so I will stay where I am at. I never had a clue the amount of sodium I was ingesting all these years and I though I was eating healthy. Sodium is sneaky and difficult to avoid. I am drinking the correct amount of water - 1/2 my body weight in ounces. I am avoiding animal protein. I hope I will never progress further with kidney disease.
Thank you Dadvice TV!
It seems I am a minority in this. I have a wonderful nephrologist. He did mention everything you have said. He said he is glad to not have to give me medication's. I appreciate that attitude very much. I very much enjoy your channel.
My doctors didn’t tell me anything. My kidneys weren’t great so I was doing your methods and was getting better but I got sick with COVID and it completely knocked my kidneys out. So I’m on dialysis now, been on it since September I got depressed and lost hope but I have a cousin who just recently celebrated a yr of being off dialysis she was on it for 2 yrs THAT GAVE ME HOPE AND BRIGHTENED MY SPIRITS and I’m back to watching your videos and gonna get back on track. I know everyone experience is different and just because something works for one doesn’t work for everyone but I’m willing to try. I still go to the restroom regularly, but yes like u said my doctors didn’t give me any info I still have not spoken to the renal dietician and I asked more than once, I just been googling things on my own. All they worry about is if you come to dialysis, it’s sad. I’ve done research and I’ve seen that ppl can actually get off of dialysis and do indeed reverse kidney function. Fingers crossed for me 🤞🏾
May the Almighty God be with you. I pray for healing for God is greater than anything we can ever face 🙏🏽
Hey! How are you now?
Yeah many doctors just want to prescribe meds instead of telling you any if these tips
My doctor didn't tell me when i was 3a. When I asked for help I was asked 'have you googled it'. That's why I follow your channel because none of my doctors wanted to help
Don't have great medical team, I'm just fighting ckd alone with your videos and so far I'm feeling great...
In what stage are you?your so inspiring
Hello. How are you now? Please share to me what did you do to battle your ckd
It was thought that kidney cells didn't reproduce much once the organ was fully formed, but new research shows that the kidneys are regenerating and repairing themselves throughout life.
My doctor only told me to watch sodium, and processed foods. I’ve always been told there isn’t much I could do. So glad I found this channel
I am walking, living, and smiling proof that there are other options when facing stage 5. While not everyone can delay or avoid dialysis, it benefits are so great that it is worth trying. I've been publishing videos since February of this year and looking back at them, it is amazing to see how slow, weak, anemic, and unhealthy looking I was and how I changed each week into what I am today. It's amazing and it is all owed to my great primary care physician who told me I didn't have to go with dialysis.
Are you currently seeing a Dietitian? Make sure and check out my video #55 on foods you can eat and download my food guide at www.dadvicetv.com/food
Trust the people processing???
Go on a all berries fast.
No meat, no dairy, no processing foods and No sugar
When I asked my doctor what I should eat, I got the deer in the headlights look. She wrote down your website and that was it. You have been a lifesaver for me!
I'd like to comment that I lowered my creatinine in one week from 1.37 to 1.23. I went to my Rheumatologist for gout and she measure my GFR and Creatininne. and it had risen. So I changed my diet that week. And a little over a week later I went to my Kidney Doctor and got tested. And everything had improved. I thought I was eating too much protein as I learned from your vids. So I ate less protein -fish and chicken was my mainstay. And went to a more vegetarian diet, ate more veggies and fruit, tofu, etc.. Adjusted my serving size of each meal. So I was able to improve. I asked my Kidney doctor if diet protein, etc effects my numbers, and she didn't think so! But I proved her wrong. Also, I was itching quite a lot and realized the cereal I ate was causing the itch. Because I tried it today for a snack and within an hour of eating it I started itching again. So I'm beginning to get a sense of my body and how it reacts to food. I am very pleased to be able to improve my GFR and Creatininne with diet. And hope to improve it further. Thanks for the info! I am 67 and my mother died of Kidney Disease at a ripe old age, so I know what can come down the road if I don't play it smart.
I am here not for myself but for my dog. His kidneys were fine until he had a spleen removal op. He collapsed in the street a few days later and after being rushed to the clinic with blood work done on him, it turned out his creatine levels were 6.9 He had IV fluids for a few days but they practically told me he would be slowly going out like a candle. NONE OF THEM at the clinic AND NONE OF THE TWO VETS NEAR MY HOUSE offered any kind of treatment. I am giving him sub cute fluids three times a week and have changed his diet. His appetite has come back, in fact he now has a huge appetite ... his creatine has moved down 2 points and I am hoping it will continue to go down. This video has been the most helpful. I looked at some dog videos for kidney disease but was not satisfied with any of them.
My doctor only tells me to make an appointment in six months. I have asked repeatedly for a vitamin, mineral, electrolyte screening and he says they don't do that. So thank you.
My doctor said drink half my weight in ounces of water and basically everything you said!
Hi James My Doc told me nothing I followed you…eGFR 45 Aug 23 now test 29 Dec 23 Gfr. 77 I am 81 years young,thank you for
your help! God Bless.
I was diagnosed at 26 GFR. It is now 44! Raised it by carefully watching my diet. That is, the KINDS of foods, but I’m overweight. Need to reduce AMOUNT of good foods. A kidney dietician at Mayo Clinic gave me a list of foods to AVOID: cola drinks (drink only water), dried or baked beans, nuts and seeds of all kinds, split peas, whole-grain cereal ( nearly all commercial breakfast food is whole grain). Eat only white bread, not whole grain. I was told to LIMIT milk/dairy, chocolate, cheese, yogurt, soybeans. Ice cream, red meat (I have gout and do not eat red meat, but only about 4 oz fish/poultry). Thank you for sharing your journey to good health, so encouraging. Thank you for advice about raising fiber.
I moved and had to change doctors. She is impressed that I’ve raised GFR and lowered creatinine; I’ve had CKD for 16 years
Congrats - that is awesome!
Paula, what do you eat if you avoid those food items. Thank you for sharing, will try this with my dad!
DOAU1 I guess the answer is: “Everything else, but no fast food.” I assiduously avoid salt/sodium. Drink only water and some coffee/tea. I eat a lot of frozen vegetables: broccoli, cauliflower, winter mix veggies, stir fry veggies, homemade vegetable soup using no-salt broth, fresh or frozen fruit for dessert. It sounds boring, - but a steady diet of fast food is also boring. It was easy to reset my “taster,” when I realized the damage the wrong foods can do. P.S.: Don’t eat veggies late in the evening. They are mostly water, so you will be up and down all night running to the bathroom. The nephrologist also said to avoid NSAIDs (aspirin, Aleve, ibuprofen, etc.), but to use acetaminophen (Tylenol) instead. I try to limit those, too - too much is bad for the liver..
Thank you for sharing ,now i can eat white bread😘
@@GrannyNerd now what is your GFR?
You are looking Fabulous!!! So much healthier. You are my Hero. Keep the videos coming. I am no longer hopeless. I drink water with lemon and lime and before bed I have a cup of Hibiscus, Hawthorne, Moringa, Nettle or Dandelion tea. I also take milk thistle horsetail Omega 3 and Moringa pills. We are going to win this battle. God definitely pointed me to you.
I have found Italian parsley to be a better medicine than moringa. I just wash and sprinkle on the salad.
I don't really feel like I've gotten any help from my doctor. My nurse and dietician has helped a ton. My doctor actually put me on blood pressure medication that hurts my kidneys. Nobody talked to me about creatnine, BUN, EFG. Your channel has been super helpful.
Your bp medication is also necessary for your kidney
Answering your question: NONE... I feel like I’ve been getting the WORST Nephrologists out there, the only thing they do is increase medication and adding different types of BP meds, it’s just sad that I had to improve my CKD by myself and still working on that. Thanks for your videos !
Thanks for sharing. I wish I could say I was shocked and that it is rare, but what you described is the norm. Which doesn't mean it is right. It is important for us Warriors to be proactive in our care and to push our doctors for the best treatment strategy. My first Nephrologist told me I had "Zero Chance" of improving....ZERO. That was back when my GFR was 13 and I was suffering every symptom in the book. Today, I have ZERO Symptoms, and my GFR has improved greatly - and I have a great life without dialysis.
Managing blood sugar and blood pressure are important, along with finding the right diet/supplements. A dietitian can go a long way in helping with that - they are the real miracle workers when it comes to treating CKD.
Keep learning - you can do this! I kicked kidney disease to the curb and others can too. Good luck and always feel free to reach out to me or other warriors here in our community to help. We have each others backs.
You have to be active in your own healing or staying as healthy as you can. You have to take action. Learn. I just lost.my beautiful daughter to kidney disease. I wish I had known about all this wonderful advice sooner. Yeah.
Say it again. Every time more medications to buy
My Mothers Dr, has helped with nothing James. I am learning via your video posts. My Mum will be going on dialysis soon. Our Dr managed my Mums diabetes over the years and did not pick up the Chronic Kidney Disease. Well done with your channel James and getting the information out there. From the UK, thank you.
Yes Sugarray29, learn what you can for your Mum. Hopefully your Mum is one of those Kidney Patients that gets herself off dialysis through the correct food intake. Best wishes mate.
I'm learning about kidney disease to try and help my dad. He has been going to his kidney doctor once a month in 2019 for blood tests. His GFR was 29 in Jan. By July, it had fallen to 21. As far as I know, his doctor hasn't told him anything except to drink more water. My dad is making some changes based on what I'm learning here and teaching him, but I'm afraid he's not changing enough. He still likes his steak and potatoes. He's drinking more water, but not the 85 oz. a day that he needs. I just hope at least his creatinine stops rising and he stays at stage 4. Thank you James for sharing your story and educating us!
@@Southerner316 , I still eat steak but leave potatoes alone due to starch. Was your Dad diagnosed with Diabetes or just the Kidney Disease ? Ask your Dad will he eat Cauliflower instead of potatoes as it will help his kidneys to do that. He just may say yes and learn more for himself by watching Dadvice TV too.
Dedrie O'Brien Dad just has kidney disease, not diabetes. Thanks for the reminder about cauliflower. I read that it can be prepared so that it is similar to potatoes but then I forgot about it. I need to give that a try. My dad is intelligent but he doesn't seek out a lot of information. I don't think he will watch these videos, unfortunately. I'll have to learn about kidney disease and talk to him about what I learn.
@@Southerner316 , Yes annoying that Parents are so intelligent but won't seek out information and they tend to believe that their Doctors know everything. I steam my cauliflower and at times I will put Braggs Nutritional Yeast on it to get more vitamin B's. I do a tailored Keto Diet so I also put kerrygold grass fed butter on it. Yum !
Thank you I had a creatinine of 4.5 ti 5 watched your video ,started drinking half my weight in oz. as you said with in a month it went down to 2.46 Thank you so much for the videos. Now I am working on lowering my potassium.
Fantastic! Are you working with a renal dietitian? They were the biggest help for me and made the biggest impact. A lot of what I share is what I was told to do by a renal dietitian.
Wow good job I'm in the same boat!
now what is your level?
Wow James you are looking so well compared to when you first started. You had really dark circles under your eyes and now you are just glowing. You have proven that all you say works and all the research you have done. Having the right medical team helps too. Very hard here in Manitoba to find a doctor who knows this
Thanks for the comments! Hard to believe it was only about 6 months ago when I published my first video on Kidney Disease. I feel amazingly great today and can't speak enough about the power of diet and lifestyle changes. Thanks again!
Yes, I agree Bonnie Hughes. James is looking so great now. Unfortunately there seems to be many people that haven't got the support they need from their Doctors and this is why James (Dadvice Tv - Kidney Health Coach) is such a vital channel for people with Kidney Disease.
@@DADVICETV so why have so many people been put on dialysis and transplant list and even been transplanted when the doctors should have given them the choice to change their lifestyles? I am sure they would have instead of being hooked to a dialysis machine! God did not pack us with a machine to do what he designed the kidneys to do for life. We have to take of our bodies to the best of our abilities by eating foods to live not loading up on junk. We care for our cars and houses better than we care for our bodies. We need to maintain our bodies 1st
@@tlyons8537 personally I think doctors are not up to date on all the research that has been going on and many dont take the time to explain what we should we be doing. Doctors wont even send you to a nephrologist or dietitian until you need dialysis. As well they go by numbers to believe things. As you can see many people on here are improving and even dietitians say diet is the change and way to go. All I know for me is if it wasn't for James I would be getting worse. My doctor didnt even know what stage I was in. I hope you get well soon and follow James advice.
Bonnie is right - most doctors are not up to date. After I was diagnosed I was told to buy a 2006 textbook used in medical school and look up the diet information for CKD. It was extremely small and the recommendation was awful - pretty much limit yourself to 1 can of soda per meal. Nothing about trying to get better, nothing about the right foods to eat, nothing about using your labs to adjust your diet, and nothing about animal protein. Most doctors up until 2007 where trained to be silent (since there is little that can be done) until Stage 4 where they prepare you for dialysis. I'm sure the Dialysis centers love this method - lots of new customers lining up for service. My amazing primary care physician (family doctor) said it best "Being a Doctor is a Practice ,which means you need to continue to educate yourself". There is too much reliance on pills from the drug companies (which offer incentives to docs who push their pills) and not enough sharing of modern information. But I believe that will change with the Internet and we are driving that. We can all help that revolution in medical care for Kidney Disease happen. We are the change and we are all AMAZING!
They told me to drink 3 litres of water a day. Stay away from processed foods. The rest of it even with eating fruit and vegetables, I would still end up on kidney dialysis. I reversed diabetes so I know its possible to reverse ckd, carrying out similar techniques. That's what I am here James. Have a nice day
Great to hear your story. I also reversed diabetes . Working on the kidneys right now. Courage..we will win this fight !!!
Thank you James.. you are my hope and hero on CKD...
Thank you for your kind words! It's my amazing health team that is giving me all the information and advice and helping me improve.
I was wondering why the doctors don’t tell us things to make our kidneys better?? Thank you for sharing. My kidneys have gotten worse and this information has given me hope! My Nephrologist did tell me to go on a Keto diet. He is good but there is so much more to repairing our kidneys.
Because if they cure you, there goes his vacation home, expensive cars, and kids’ college education.
The way you explain things is awesome.
Hello, well, I may sound like I am winning but, you have asked about what my Dr. may be telling me. to help me with my CKD... Absolutely nothing. I learn't about a nephrologist from you... Doc says I don't need one.... am stage 3. about 59... I think.... Most every thing I learn is from here... you speak people talk... today am looking up dates.... got any information on them..... I have lost 32 lbs.. my goal is to get to 115 lbs... I am 5'. seems like am stuck at 120 -122 lbs.... I am told that my kidneys are working hard.... you are looking very good.... Thank you for all of you're dedicated work. Our Lord God to guard and guide you and keep you safe....
Hi James, I am re-learning. I forgot to take care of myself being too busy taking care of others. I will be watching a lot of your videos for a second time. Thank you for having those resources there to help me and other people get their Kidney Function levels up. It is exciting seeing improvements with every blood test simply through knowing what to eat and drink to get those improved results.
Sounds like you are on the right track! It's easy to forget about ourselves when we take care of others - and it's great that you noticed that so that you can focus more on your own health (and I'm sure all the others you've been helping really appreciate you and will be happy to see you doing better). Best of luck!
@@DADVICETV , Thanks James. Yes, now to focus on me.
My GFR was slowly going down for several years. My doctor said absolutely nothing about my GFR or CKD. I've changed doctors.
Same. Doctors run us through like cattle!!
Been following your advice for 2 months now, pretty much since I got out of the hospital. In that time I've went from stage 5 to stage 4. Things are looking up. Thank you.
Fantastic!
Blessings to all
Your definitely looking better…….no dark circles under eyes…….well done
Thank you. I was alerted by a heart doctor that my creatinine level is high. Then I read your videos and later see a specialist for treatment.
My GFR is ranging between 57 to 60. I was diagnosed this past September. All my doctor just told me is to eat less protein and eat less salt. The last lab results that I received my creatinine level was slightly higher than normal. I asked him what I can do to lower it and he said nothing. Everything else seems to be fine. It really disappoints me that my doctor does it give me more information on how to help myself get better. Since I discovered your channel after diagnosis, I have changed my diet and all I ever drink is water. Very concerned about lowering my creatinine level. Going to continue your suggestions thank you for your channel very informative.
what is your gfr now?
My kidney specialist, only told me sodium an to drink water. Nothing about food other then I can eat what I won’t, glad I got on your channel
Glad you are here to. Working with a renal dietitian was by far the BEST thing I did to improve my kidney health.
what an incredibly useful and empowering video !
I'm currently in stage 4 kidney failure post heart transplant and so so scared ... you are totally right, my doctors said to lower salt and increase water intake, that's all. thanks again, this channel is an incredible ressource of info.
Glad it was helpful! Check out my newer videos to see how much more I've improved since this one. I also do a LIVE show with a renal dietitian every Tuesday at 6pm EDT - we talk about a new topic each week AND take questions from the live chat! All of that is right here on TH-cam to help kidney warriors kick kidney disease to the curb!
@@DADVICETV currently binge watching your most recent live ;)
now what is your update>?
I was diagnosed and had a GFR of 12. Doctors mentioned sodium (2000mg), and to drink more water, but didn't mention an amount. THAT WAS IT. No dietician, no tip sheet, nothing. I'm now a GFR 9, and trying to improve.
But my doctor said to limit my water intake ? Which is the right one ?
Limit yOur water intake according to urine output à
high sodium diet and water can be caused of swelling
Other than tests and reports only one point was suggested by Doctor - not to take Pottasiim and Sodium , nothing more . You are Fentastic in dealing all aspects related to the topic . Thank you very very much for the best info being shared to us all 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍
Tomorrow is lab day, can't wait to see my numbers since I've taken your advice about 3 to 4 weeks ago. Again thank you so much, you are helping so many people
+heidi smith Make sure and be well hydrated - even a little dehydration can lower your GFR. Good luck - let us all know how they turn out!
How'd it go?
@@arthurfonzarelli9828 results aren't back yet
@@heidismith6148 keep us posted!!
How are you now?
Except for lower salt intake... Nope none... oh and when my hubby was in the hospital the doctor told him to drink lots of water because he didn't have fluid retention and the nurse later on argued with my hubby... Health system needs to talk to each other... Your videos are a godsend... sorry if there are non-Christian people here... they really are... Really appreciate all the advice...
I agree Sandy - we need our health care communicating better. With each other and with us. My health team consist of a lot of people - 2 Nephrologist, 5 dietitians, 1 Endocrinologist, 1 Urologist, and my Primary Care Physician. It is a challenge to keep information flowing between them all, but that has been a critical part of my treatment strategy and recovery.
The good news is that as we share more of our experiences online - this is being brought out in public. I hope health care professionals will realize we have a serious issues. I'm surprised insurance companies haven't pushed for more conversations about diet and lifestyle changes just to cut down on medical cost. An ounce of prevention can be worth a lifetime of dialysis. Thanks for your support!
@@DADVICETV Holy wow - wish we got all that here in Canada... okay have 2 Nephrologists or more, 1 dietician - have no Primary Care Physician as they are a pain to get here and our Urologist abandoned us because we think he thinks we have a case for wrongful diagnosis... Or kept on dialysis too long by incompetent docs and not sure if he wasn't the driving force in putting my hubby on dialysis even though he is not a nephrologist...
Same chritian
Your advice are second to none
Thanks James for your helpful and inspiring videos.....motivated me to be a kidney warrior and not give up.....bless you ..
these drs. I've had find it easier to write me prescription than explain these simple tips you're sharing. I just found out what stage KD I'm in as my kidney dr. never told me. My PC asked me what stage, and I was shocked because I was never told that. I'm not the smartest, but I can understand things that are explained to me. Our medical professionals are leaving it up to us to figure it out and then tells me to stay off utube 😮. Utube has been a great learning tool for me as I navigate my health journey
Salmt Doc... Balak ko tuloy gumawa ng mga videos tungkol sa mga naranasan ko Kung paano ako gumaling at gumanda mga laboratory test ko dahil sa mga natural na paraan.. Dati ako tumataas uric, sugar at creatinine... Kpag may pumunta sa TH-cam ko at nag request gagawa ako kht di ako sanay basta maishare ko lmg ung mga ginawa ko.. Lalo n sa creatinine
Sir pano nyo po napababa creatinine mo?
They gave me a chart of good, ok and avoid.
My family doctor for many years never caught the kidney disease at all. Then I saw another doctor who helped me diagnose it, but he only told me to avoid salt and sugar and to exercise more. I've done all my own learning and I'm beginning to have a pretty good handle on it. Thank you for all your videos!
Thank you very much. Is monkfruit sweetner ok?
Wish I had you years ago to watch. I am all on my own and some of the things I was told. But never told me how to lower createns , only that it’s normal for my condition... 🤬
I just feel extremely tiered these days. I do a little and I am exhausted 😩. It’s frustrating as I need to do my chores and more. But I think it’s due to the loss of my husbands appetite, so have not been eating veggies as I should. To tiered to even make some for me. You are a good coach. I listen to you so I can stay inspired..... you give the right advice and I know it works. 🙏🏻❤️🌹🥗
My nephroligist and his nurse practitioner have never ever told me a single thing except eat less meat, and drink more water. I'm at 17 gfr and still no advice... I'm having to try to correct this on my own.
I'm scared out of my wits.... and absolutely refuse dialysis. Not gonna happen. I'm frustrated because there is no help .
Your channel is my savior... thank you from the bottom of my heart! Maybe just maybe I can pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat!
MY DOCTOR TOLD ME TO DRINK MORE WATER AND WALK FOR 30 MINUTES OR MORE. GRACIAS/THANKS. FROM CALIFORNIA.
Those are both good starts - which is great. Some doctors don't even provide that amount of helpful tips. Walking is a fantastic exercise and the one I prefer for myself.
My Doc only told me to drink more water and stay away from Ibprofin, both things I already do. I have IBS and there are so many things that I already don't eat and have not for years that are bad for my kidneys. No dairy products, no candy, no hamburgers/hotdogs/ no alcohol, don't smoke, no juices, I'm doing my best to cut out sodas, (my weak spot), no pre packaged foods/snacks, I have started eating radish slices everyday and feel like I have more pep from them. I'm really trying. Will be going for another blood test soon, I hope to see some better figures with it.
I have a tip that may help you with sodas - Try ZEVIA! It's a Soda approved by Nephrologist and Dialysis centers. They have tea and soda's. My wife switched over 100% to them. Go to Zevia's website and tell them you heard about them from Dadvice TV and that you'd like some coupons to try them. They usually send out a $2 off a 6-pack coupon as well as other coupons. It's a GREAT replacement for kidney damaging traditional sodas. And if you try them and like it - spread the word. I love supporting companies that make products we can use that don't harm out kidneys.
@@DADVICETV Zevia's are great, they have at least 5 kinds (cola, grape, ginger rootbeer "my favorite" , blk cherry, grapefruit oh and cream soda) all are really good and kidney friendly.
Hi James I watch all your videos and I am enjoying them
Thank you so much. You give me so much info and positive attitude that it inspires me everyday to beat kidney disease to the curb. Renadyl, fiber, Pro renal-D. Thanks to you. Doctor never told me anything! Wish you success on getting to stage 2. I'm at 4 but set my goal to 3 then 2. Inspired by you my friend. Take care.
hey now your stage?
Thanks James, for all your videos full of vital life saving information. Doctors don’t talk much. If at all they mention a couple of things very casually. But medicines they prescribe regularly and lay emphasis on taking them. They don’t even mention probable side effects of the drugs. I started with blood pressure meds and progressed on to meds for uric acid and cholesterol and even potassium binders. Tests don’t show much improvement because I’m now realizing that diet and exercise is crucial to maintaining good health together with medicines.
My doctor said and did nothing for me. I am POSITIVE my gfr has gone to stage 4 and I am now pre diabetic, are absolutely due to my hbp medicines as I had been stable with my ckd over 40 years. I have had to ask for everything, including a referral to nephrology so I could then ask for a referral to a nutritionist to help me pull from the restrictions of both diagnosis. Your videos have helped me more than my own doctor. Thank you for all of your healthful suggestions.
U mean you managed ckd for over 40yrs or you are 40yrs old.pls reply.
PLS I REALLY WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU MANAGED CKD FOR FORTY YEARS.PLS REPLY.TNKS
Thank you,James! My husband will be shown this video!
My GFR went from 9 to 19 in a month just from drinking more water.
Very good!
Rebecca Gray Lucky you! I am drinking so much water, I am thinking about sleeping on the toilet these days. Mine has not improved at all. I am doing everything, including cut out 95% of animal proteins, low sodium diet (long before my CKD rx), I am active too. . .
@@juliebolduc802 how are you doing? Have you tried parsley drinks
Thank you ever so much for this video and it is indeed very helpful. You are so right when you say Drs do not give us any hope to carry on or help us to delay the process of this illness. My Dr told me that there is nothing to do at all I should be prepared to go to dialysis and transplant instead of wasting my time with diet. he has refused to refer me to a renal dietician and he could refer me to a renal psychologist instead. When I told him that I m not interested in thinking about dialysis at stage 3b then he told me he is unsure if I m in stage 3b or Stage 4 . He claimed that GFR can be more if it is in another lab the results depends on the labs really. However, I mentioned that I know a lot of people who have been able to change their stage of CKD due to diet he laughed saying if it was the case he won't be having a job.
Thank you. My doctor only told me to drink lots of water.This video was so helpful.
Glad it was helpful! The best thing I did was to work with a renal dietitian. It is amazing how powerful and important nutrition is, and doctors/nurses get very little education on it during their training. Renal dietitians stay on top of the latest discoveries and are focused at helping improve your overall health. I see doctors as "Sick Care" and renal dietitians as "Health Care" - big difference in approach and outcomes.
Thank you james now l fell a bit good watching your video im from
Phil and have stage 3 ckd and im 72 now sad to have this illness coz of all mya medications have to follow your advice thank you jamess Gid bless
Yeah my doctor was pretty noninformative. My creatinine level was in an okay range, but higher for my age. So I'm going to keep doing exactly what I have learned from you. You are a Godsend man. Thank you for all of the information and guidance!
Thanks for sharing! It is very common for doctors to wait until things get really serious before talking about CKD. By taking action early you can influence your future. The healthier you can live today, the better you'll be tomorrow.
I am at Stage 3...eFGR of 53...has always been in the 70s previously. I am diabetic not on Insulin..2 x Metformin twice daily...for the past 20 years!...I would like to improve my kidney function. My liver is excellent...all readings well below each marker..I’m trying Milk Thistle to see if that helpe...I’m following you👌🥰
I wish you was my dad you have great knowledge man keep up the great work.
You are right they say drink more water don't eat animal product that's all mine tells me
None of those tips . I had to be my own advocate. And thanks to your help and me doing my own research. I'm doing pretty good. Thank you for all you do to improve my kidney health.
Outstanding Melissa! We are our best advocate and the more we know, the more we can questions our doctors so that they can give us the best treatment possible. Knowledge truly is power - and I encourage everyone to share what works and doesn't work for them. The more we all share, the better our chances of improving.
Dadvice TV - Kidney Health Coach That' is so true especially for the elderly people who aren't tech savvy and by the doctors giving them these simple information it could prolong the health of their kidneys. Thank you once again for all you do and I'm so glad your doing well.💚
Best of all, most of these can be done for no additional cost! I love saving money and reducing the need for excess prescriptions.
Thank you for the water calculation. The Dr we saw was less than helpful and gave a grim outlook without any advice other than visiting another emergency room. I have been trying to get as much information as possible to improve the situation. Im the caregiver for my husband and it has been challenging to find out the diet and the water situation. Thank you for the great advice. 👍💧
I´m glad I found you
Glad the videos are helpful. It's all thanks to the information provided to me by my health care team. They have helped me beat this monster and get a 2nd chance at life. It's been an amazing journey so far and I have learned so much. Until this year, I never knew just how important our diet is - and when it comes to beating CKD, it is critical. Glad you are here!
Just subscribed!! I am already devastated with nothing to eat because all are not good for my kidney. U gave me hope I'm a first time watching ur video. Thank you I found this vid I am hopeful that this will help me
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Do you have any advise for uric acid buildup. Take meds or is there a natural way to deal with this.? We certainly enjoy all your videos. Always waiting for the next one.👍
@Brenda - That is a great question. One of my doctors is helping write a script for a video about Uric Acid, but I can't remember what all he recommended to treat (and prevent) it. One thing I do remember - Lemons!!! Lemon juice has so many benefits - from preventing or breaking down kidney stones, to help treat or prevent uric acid from building up. It sounds counterproductive, but when your body digest lemon juice there is a chemical reaction that is beneficial to us. I add lemon juice to my water, my salads, my protein (when I eat meat), and even tuna. It doesn't take much - I make sure to drink 1oz of lemon juice throughout the day. That can be a shot, mixed in a big glass of water, or mixed into a water bottle. It doesn't matter how quickly it gets into your body, just that you get it. Good luck!
Dadvice TV - Kidney Health Coach Thank you James. Just bought a bag of lemons.👍
Thank you! Very informative and helpful❤️
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot please keep it up, not everyone can contribute and help like that
New Subscriber here … Coach keep up the good work….
Thank you!
Love following you and watching your body respond to your advice!!! We have followed you from day one and great report from the doctor so again, thank you!
Thank you for your support! I cringe looking back at my first videos - but it serves as a great example of me improving by sticking to my diet. Someone recommended I create a montage showing how much I've improved since earlier this year when I posted my first video and I'm going to do that some time soon. My energy level is through the roof - I feel amazingly great and am more active than I have been in about 20 years.
Hi James, Thanks be to God knowing your condition is getting better... my GFR is 20.5 and i thought there is no way of making it better. im really seeking advice on how to make it better.
Thank you.
Misdiagnosed for years until I started to research on my own…Drs (sometimes) seem to give tidbits of info regarding CKD…be your own advocate and bring your labs to the Dr 👍
Thank you very much for all your great information , you are very encouraging.....thank you 🇨🇦
Happy to help!
I agree..my nephrologist only said to watch the salt…my creatinine is over 3 points and my GFR is 13…I only drink water but need to increase it…my ankles are swollen every day..have strong diuretics…. Been to class for peritoneal dialysis…sure want to avoid that…got to do better with eating..which is hard when you have to cook for others…
Love your videos…thanks for the great advice…. BW..Richmond VA
How are you now?
Your advice .mean alot for me sir God bless your journey ahead.
So nice of you. I've come a long way through diet and lifestyle changes and have enjoyed sharing my journey along the way. I feel great now and am focusing on getting my weight down.
You are awesome and ur advice is good and real.
Thank you james your a big inspiration to me. Im from the Philippines
Hi James, Great video with more education. :) After reading what Cayetano Rocha said below in a comment, I think a great video topic for you to do would be, "How to read & understand your blood test report and which numbers are the ones to really keep an eye on. " Many Doctors lack going through the report with the Kidney Patient unfortunately.
+Dedrie O'Brien That is a great idea! thanks.
@@DADVICETV , You are very welcome and thank you too.
.
I am one of those people with ckd who has to limit their fluids. My nephroligst told me to limit all fluids to 64 ounces a day, limit sodium to 1500 mg a day, and to lose weight with exercise like walking.
You're a wonderful person. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!
Thank you sir for sharing your experiences ❤❤
Thank you I appreciate your videos
thank so much for your advice.god bless
Hi James..for us Filipinos, rice is life. Weeks ago I was making arroz caldo with tiny bit of salt on it then I saw in your videos that Fiber is sooo much important so now I switched to Cauliflower-rice. Hope that helps?
less rice pls, one cup rice for the whole day is way enough for us as a ckd patient. choose veggies that more on fiber and protein, diet helps a lot. im following all dadvice and i feel great.
My favorite source of Fiber before I went ultra-low carb was Apples. I enjoyed so many of them and they gave me lots of fiber. I also added (and still do) Benefiber Healthy Shape fiber powerder to my meals and drinks. The Healthy Shape version is a little difference and I add some to boost my fiber. Some people worry about Benefiber, but for me the benefits were far greater and it helped me get from Stage 5 to stage 3.
Thanks Meldz and James!
used the formula to hydrate ... 88 ounces drove my creatinine from 2.7 to 1.2 YES! thanks coach ... I needed hydration important for me because I kept getting infections .. Lyme disease ... type A and B flu ... and a urine infection ... all needed different antibiotics .... which antibiotics decrease the immune system ... my nurse practitioner is saving my iife ... we collaborate ...
now what is your creatinnie level?
does low creatiine help to improve gfr?
I was only told to go on a plant based diet. I was told to avoid drinking a lot of water which doesn't make sense. I was only told to avoid processed foods and sodium. Unfortunately, I didn't have a great conversation with this doc and demanded to get a different doctor at their office. I am scheduled to do blood work this week and speak to the new doctor on Monday 8/10. I need actual help how to reduce my creatine level from 1.9 to a lower number.
Thanks James. Very useful tips as usual.
Thank you.
Love this channel! Good stuff.
Glad you enjoy it!
☺ I learn (and apply) a lot here. Thanks James! Actually can't say I give much credit at all to my "number reader" kidney doctor.
Thank you, very encouraging
That is good advice.
God bless you.
Thank you Marty!
Thank you for sharing. I do appreciate it a lot.😊
My creatinine gone to 2.88 and took nature cure treatment like steam bath..mud therapy..veg food.oil massage.Reduced to 2.15 in 10days.
now what is your creatinne?
Thank you for the amazing and helpful information!
Glad it was helpful!
