[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

We had a lot of questions on soy and kidney health so here it is. Thanks everyone for your support of our channel!

[@evabrent9347]

Eye opener! More information I get from you,then my nephrologist and dietitian .Thanks,I needed you many years ago.

[@abdelilahbenahmed4350]

Thx Dr Hashmi and Michelle for these unique infos about the topic.Valuable and practical infos backed by serious scientific data and as always explained clearly and comprehensively. For me as a porridge breakfast (nonGMO ingredients) : 2 Tablespoons barley whole flour+ 1 Table spoon Soy+ 1 Table spoon genuine olive oil+ 1 grated tomato (instead of salt) + half teaspoon black pepper+little dry oregano.

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

We're glad you enjoyed the episode! Breakfast sounds yummy :)

[@debfowler1344]

And so … when is your cookbook coming out? Very informative and answered a lot of questions.

[@susan6398]

I love your show and I want to thank both of you. The information that you give is understandable and it's helped me a hundred percent. I didn't know really what I really could eat cuz other people just kind of hit on what kidney patients are supposed to eat but you really get to the bottom of it thank you

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

Thank you for the feedback. So happy the info has been helpful and practical! :)

[@lalita2688]

Love the video great content as always. Very blessed to come across this channel

[@andriabitara1731]

Love every episode of your show. Salute to both of you.

[@wafflesmomforlife9215]

As usual...INVALUABLE INFORMATION!!! Thank you SO VERY MUCH!!

[@winnettcarty5668]

Very good study and clear explanation on soybeans and products. Thanks very much for the timely examples.

[@syedaranabokhari1603]

Your discussions are very helpful in bringing positive change in my eating habbits

[@Nadege949]

If I eat 1 cup of beans a day, is it better to eat 1/2 cup in the morning and the rest with lunch and/or dinner or is 1 whole cup with a meal too much? Thank you Michelle for mentioning in your last email, that boiling tempeh in hot water removes its bitterness.

[@evabrent9347]

Thanks,very helpful.

[@syedaranabokhari1603]

Hi very informative indeed

[@fredasavahl3050]

Thank you. Very informative

[@peterz53]

68 yo male. just received normal thyroid panel - all values mid-range (e.g TSH 2.3). Eat home-made soy yogurt daily. Off course this is just an N=1 and no recent thyroid results without soy. Rest of my diet is plant based, with weekly sardines or salmon as only animal protein. Has been for last 10 years. BTW, eGFR about 100 and creatinine about 0.7 consistently. hsCRP typically 0.3 or less.

[@DevaRungasamy]

I was told that soy is bad for ckd 3 patient. Very useful information. Thank you so much

[@latarai9877]

🙏🙏🙏 from India.

[@rasgeet]

I am a kidney transplant patient. I did the transplant 3 years back.

[@ninamarie8654]

I really like tofu and I'm glad you're speaking about this. 😀

[@satyaviswanathan9207]

You mentioned Soy milk has about the same amount of potassium as cow’s milk. If I need to reduce my potassium, which plant based milk would you recommend?

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

almond milk, oat milk and cashew milk are typically lower in potassium (make sure to get one that doesn't have phoshorus added)!

[@deedavis9511]

I’m so grateful for your informative podcasts. My doc told me that I’m barely over the edge of being into 3rd stage kidney disease. Even though I’m 88 years old, I want to gather as much information as possible to slow the progression. The on-line discussions you two have are educating me much more thoroughly than my doc can because he’s much too busy to spend the time explaining aspects of kidney disease with me. Besides, I don’t think he's as knowledgeable or experienced j as either of you. THANKS for all that you do!!

[@ahmadkamal7970]

Cut the the tempeh intio small dices , cook in the pan with just a little water then put in sliced onion, garlic, red chilli. After cooking squish soe lemon. Then enjoy it.

[@Braisin-Raisin]

I have an auto-immune condition (MCD) and I can confirm that awitching to soya fgrom meat protein - the result is amazing. I have hope again I will be fine. My problem is: where do I get enough iron from? I have to take a supplement now and would prefer to get it from food.

[@razanqaddoumi93]

Is there any effect from soy products on prostate inflammation?

[@glendagreen1021]

Isn't soy high in calcium oxalates?

[@zonrey2781]

Tofu/tempeh or steel cut oatmeal with 1 tablespoon each of ground chia and flaxseed meal and 1 teaspoon AMLA powder, soymilk for breakfast. Soy like tofu is the #1 anti estrogen food according to Dr Kristi Funk. I’m glad many anti estrogen foods are also good for CKD. I restrict my protein to 40-45 gm & phosphorus to no more than 1000 mg. Thanks to both of you, learned so much from your videos.

[@brodie9824]

Is it okay to supplement with vit d and calcium citrate in hope to not absorb as much calcium oxalates?

[@guygranger7894]

Great info--- Ive always wondered if I was doing the right thing by substituting cheap soy sauce for salting my Asian food ,,soups, and gravies.

[@user-ov4wr5yu4r]

What about the purines in natto?

[@KTPurdy]

If you have the right spices, tofu can be awesome

[@ddutton4716]

Acid Load-Chronometer appears to calculate the simplified protein acid load. It appears to not take into account that sulfated amino acids have a higher load than others?

[@gponzoa]

What if you are a stone former with CKD? Isn’t the oxalate level of soy protein products high? What options are there to get adequate protein levels?

[@chelapegueros784]

Thank you so much.. I love the one subject videos.

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

Glad you like them! We will have them in this format from now on :)

[@rupachinai4932]

Can CKD patients drink almond milk. It’s test better than soy or coconut milk?

[@ilsewenzel9424]

Please talk more about Tofu, I've never had it

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

We can definitely do more detailed episodes on tofu! So many great recipes online!

[@mnp870]

Tofu is processed soy.

[@rohanawolf2089]

But for kidney stones, soy is High Oxalate...

[@yanceyh.1850]

So what is an acceptable protein that a person CAN eat ? How about tuna ?

[@ravenewby7538]

So informative thank you. I have soy isolate protein powder and wondering if its ok to add to a blueberry smoothie just 1 tbl spoon to 100grams of blueberries and water?

[@miguellobos4102]

Thanks 🙏

[@PaulJones-oj4kr]

what @ BPH? I was told not to consume soy. Is this valid?

[@steveradogna9564]

Edamame is very high in potassium, isn't that an issue when you have CKD?

[@igaluitchannel6644]

Soy is high in oxalates. Then there's the question that most soy is GMO produced.

[@ggjr61]

Organic tofu is common in all the stores where I live. I bet it is where you live too if you’re in the US.

[@mrmaxcarter2306]

I make a tofu scramble. It's a lot like eggs.

[@coreysmith1481]

Is ketoanalogus supplements okay for diabetic kidney disease please respond

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

We have an episode coming up on amino acids and ketoanalogues! They are something that you want to work with a renal dietitian to use though if you have kidney disease!

[@dannymeske3821]

What about protein from beans?

[@jaeashleystewart9326]

FYI: "Prostate," not "prostrate."

[@andreadufore823]

What about taking tofu if you've had breast cancer.doctors tell you not to have soy

[@rustybolts8953]

Rats, no mice! I watched a test done on naked mice. Not a stitch of fur on. Obscene🙂 Much I need to learn about soy and I love soy sauce. Overdosing on estrogen probably not a good idea for a male human.

[@KJ-md2wj]

Russian experiments with generations of rats fed on soy saw drop in fertility and infertility in the 3rd generation. That ties in with the anti-white racism.

[@liewinarto5115]

Doctors, can eat a lot of soy products everyday make my uric acid gets high? Why (not)?

[@TheCristal63]

Its happened to me too.

[@dpjbdpjb]

Less stiff Tofu in miso soup

[@foodnutritiontruths8031]

My dad is 84 & his GFR is 19 in the one kidney that functions. Last week his dietician told him to eat whatever he wants. He went straight from that appt to get a hamburger & his wife feeds him meat for lunch & dinner. They also eat at restaurants so are consuming way more salt that he has any idea of. I'm very scared this diet advice will lead to him to death sooner than later, and be far more painful than it needs to be. I called his kidney doctors office to find one thing out, and as suspected, they do not consult with any renal dietician. I'm now waiting for a call back from her so I can discuss my concerns about his health, but really I want to discuss her diet advice will kill him, and probably soon. I am prepared w/ a lot of references, like this channel, for her to look into before she utters another word about diet. What else can I do????????????????

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

So sorry she said to have him eat whatever he wants :/ Hopefully your father can listen to some of our episodes to get more information!

[@juwelmiah2533]

he is single kidney person by birth please replie

[@charlessavoie2367]

A lot of soy offered to consumers has been processed with toxic HEXANE. Very irresponsible to not mention this. Since consumers can't tell which soy has been processed with this risky chemical, their best option is to totally boycott all soy.

[@M00159]

Thanks for your comment. Really important to know! Do soybeans have that toxic ingredient as well?

[@plantsonlycindy5809]

I believe you're referring to isolated soy protein which is highly processed, like the fake burgers and meats and so forth. They've made clear this isn't what they're talking about for kidney health. Sure, there's hexane in fake highly processed so-called soy foods, and in soybean oil. This doctor and his nutrition/dietician assistant are talking about tofu, tempeh, and edamame. These few items do not contain hexane, that I'm aware of, and to be on the safe side, or when in doubt, purchase organic. 😊

[@ayokay123]

Yeah, but soy is pretty high in oxalates, so if you're prone to kidney stones, you really need to be careful.

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

Check out our videos on oxalates for more info on that!

[@ayokay123]

@@PlantBasedKidneyHealth Thanks for responding! Will do.

[@diannelimbaugh2250]

[@secateenumrah]

The way you explain is vary doubtful and hard to believe. I don't trust your facts and lack scientific data and scientific evidence. Sorry.
