The Truth About Keto: Is it Safe for Your Kidneys?

[@jsc5423]

Found you recently and really like your videos. Agree with you. I was on keto for over six years. I had stomach pains,went to the doctor few times but no joy. In desperation i called out to God and clearly was led to the Ketozone diet. Within a few days my stomach pain went after over ten years. Found out i was gluten intolerant. I also had tumors or cysts in my kidneys and i believe by going on the keto diet it went too. However last year i was diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease. I started eating more veggies and fruits and nuts and seeds, sometimes fish and legumes. Now and then chicken or meat. I am Mediterranean keto or rather plant based keto. My kidney function has gone back to normal praise God and my diet. Thanks doctor 👍✅🙏

Great episode, I've been looking at the Keto diet for short term to lose weight. After I get my lab results in a few days I'll see if I can handle a plant based keto diet. Thank you for the information Dr. Blake!

Thanks so much Thomas. Let me know how it goes.

I did Keto for 5 months about 5 yrs ago. Not high protein but high vegetable - ate TONS of Spinach which I didn't know was high in oxalates. I also did lots of almonds and almond flour, peanuts and natural peanut butter also high in oxalates. I'm convinced that the calcium oxalate kidney stones I just had removed were caused by this. I was expecting they'd be Uric Acid stones but I guess I really didn't eat any more meat than I normally do. Anyway, if you do Keto DON'T eat nuts (most have oxalates) or dark green leafy vegetables like spinach. Keto is high fat. Get your fat from animal fat ; butter, ghee, tallow, lard, depending on what your body can handle, if you eat meat, dark meat of grass fed chickens, grass fed beef, lamb, goat, and beef liver and do vegetables like romaine Lettuce in your salad), cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and cabbage. Green beans, NOT dried beans, peas or lentils (those beans are NOT Keto).

[@Carnivore_Revival]

I am a T1Diabetic since 1991. Due to decades of unmanaged blood sugars in 8/2020 I went on the kidney transplant lis at Vanderbilt. My eGFR was 14 at that time. I immediately started a keto diet,

[@Jhongvlogs-ep2nk]

can you pls share how did you do it...specially daily routine for food preparation really need T2D CKD patient here🙏

[@larkinwalker6659]

Steam eggs (over boiling water like broccoli, asparagus, etc.) for 13 minutes; followed by 15 minute ice bath for easy shell removal.

[@thecookingdoc]

Thank you so much for sharing this tip. I was struggling on the second egg.

[@dianasthings729]

Thank you. Can't wait to try the recipe! Sounds like a perfect spring/summer recipe.

[@thecookingdoc]

It is really delicious. Definitely have never blended tuna before. Thank you @dianasthings729

[@davidbridglal4769]

Thanks for all the info, can drinking baking soda in warm water help to flush our kidneys and prevent kidney disease?

[@papaisaha9587]

Should the doc have right to make us confused?...in India some nefrologist say to take probiotic n essential amino asid(nefrosave) n some say not to take..my only question sir being neutral with ur vast exp do u think this probiotic or nafrosave reverse the disease completely or at least stop the progression?if no benefit,can it do any harm leading to dialysis?...in specific cases can those medicine reverse the disease?...who will enlighten us from this confusion not letting us feeling repentant for taking or not taking those medicine?

[@bobcocampo]

Carnivore 🥩 diet reverse 5th stage CKD.

[@immanuelsteven7704]

Real?

[@Jhongvlogs-ep2nk]

pls share the idea on how to do it

[@Anon.5216]

Since that recipe is so liquid what are we supposed to eat it with, or do we just treat it as a soup?

[@user-yn2ij5ep9f]

How many grams of protein would be considered safe for someone with Stage 3 CKD?

[@Anon.5216]

Could do with a stronger louder sound. Nearer to the mic.

[@veronicasecuya1210]

Dr.Blake my Narra tree reached 200 yrs.Why human cannot reach that age?

[@dianefaust6218]

Because of Adam who brought death into the world. It's not final-we seek eternity. 😊

[@DuvAngel1]

Doctor do you respond to your comments?

[@thecookingdoc]

@DuvAngel1 - yes I do. Sometimes my schedule can be a little hectic. Thanks so much.

[@WeAreAllDoomed-n5i]

Want easy to peel eggs? Air fry them.

[@paulheinz2145]

So I see you remembered the link to the recipes but left out the links to any of the studies you referenced . So you must be a more complete Chef who has trouble with pealing an egg. I will add for emphasis the man is speaking to only people with CHRONIC KIDEY disease, Not otherwise healthy people ! Somehow I think your cooking leaves a lot to be desired too. By the way show the link for any randomised study which concluded protein is bad for the Kidney? It's not out there.

[@webersteve1547]

I like the format, but man, mixing food is not a recipe, it's disgusting. Just put the tuna in the salad, add olive oil and anchovis etc and eat it like this
