Working as a kidney doctor, I found that my patients were often unaware of just how important diet and lifestyle were and how often they felt unsupported by generic advice to “eat healthy”. The home cook in me hated hearing this, so I set out to find a better way.
I began to combine my medical training and love of food, making videos of simple recipes that were based on science and packed with flavor. Instead of just saying “eat healthy” to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health.
Kidney doctor, passionate home cook, and KZbin sensation Dr Blake Shusterman empowers people to proactively manage their health by stepping into the kitchen. The author of several cookbooks with over 100,000 KZbin subscribers, The Cooking Doc® believes anyone, at any age can transform their health with small changes that make a big difference. Based on science and packed with flavor, Dr. Blake’s simple recipes have inspired home cooks everywhere to change their diet, retrain their taste buds, and transform their health.

I agree. Once you start a walking program and healthy eating habits both your body and mind show improvement.

[@bnice8940]

Hello Estelle! How very true! I strongly agree with you.

[@thecookingdoc]

I am so glad you agree Estelle. It is amazing how quickly the improvements starts with committing to make these changes as well.

[@seneka9192]

The fact that the more healthy food you eat the more you crave it is so true! I never understood people who thought that those wet vegetables in ads looked tempting but since I changed my diet to be mostly veggie-based I started to crave them so much!

[@asahel980]

thats a lot of bull and you know it. As you age maybe you notice too much of pleasurable things in this world are bad for you be it sex,food,playing video games or shopping so much. veggies are good sure if its with meat.

[@fayebernardino3370]

i totally agree when you said giving you confidence and be proud of yourself. I am 33 and currently weighing 72kilos but I feel like my body gets tired easily. Due to my nature of work, always facing my computer at home, I neglected my health and never do exercise. This made me depress specially whenever I see my old photos and feeling kinda regret thinking why did I allow myself to be like this. Now I am starting a healthy lifestyle. I started moving more and do exercise. I even go to the market by walking. Sweating myself and I am not ashamed on how I look. My mind is already fixed and I wanted to get to my old self.

[@hughesadam87]

Great job

[@MaryGatdula]

I've just recently been diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease. There sure is a lot to learn! I have started trying to eat healthier but I am struggling with exercising! I know once I get started, it will get easier, but getting started.... I've also quit smoking! It's only been 2 weeks, but I know I can do this. I want to be around for a while! I'm hoping your book will give me some good, easy recipes because I'm not much of a cook.

[@janking4453]

Good for you! Keep going, do not give up, you'll get there 😊🤗

[@bnice8940]

DearMsTheUndone Congratulations on quitting smoking. That is quite an accomplishment! NEVER GIVE UP! Dr. Shusterman's recipes always turn out good. I've tried many of his recipes and I want to buy his book. I always add garlic, onions and spices when cooking Slowly but surely, you'll get there. 💐💐 👍👍

[@MaryGatdula]

@@bnice8940 Thank you for the encouragement AND the review of the recipes! I bought 2 other Renal Diet cookbooks, but most of the recipes in both of them are kinda "out there" , and need ingredients that we just don't have where I live, or need equipment I don't have. I will probably be sending both back.

[@thecookingdoc]

First off - be proud of yourself for the great changes you have already made. You are already so far ahead and once you add in exercise - I believe you are going to see a lot of positive changes. Remember slow and steady. Start by just taking a walk around your neighborhood.

[@ark-777]

God bless you Jesus loves you I’m praying for you. Stay strong 🙏🏽🔥

[@bnice8940]

Hello from Ontario, Canada. First of all, Doctors and health care professionals rarely get the recognition they so wholeheartedly deserve from their patients. Thank you for your dedication and for providing us with medical advice for keeping us healthy. How true! You couldn't of said it better. I've lost 90 pounds so far and what an improvement in my blood work results. My Cardiologist told me my exercise stress test was very good and that I have no heart problems. I no longer have to see him all due to weight loss, improved diet and exercising. Health is wealth! Once again, thank you Dr. Shusterman. 😊😊

[@thecookingdoc]

I am so proud of your amazing progress Sandy! And wow - thank you again for your support and kindness. Really made my day.

[@coybi]

I've been doing intermittent fasting for about two years now while also listening to my body, which means eating if fasting becomes too unbearable, for example when I ovulate and I am way more hungry than usual. I haven't really exercised and still lost 21kgs. I am trying to get back into fitness though and I have to say that I have observed how my body craves healthy food more and more, when in the past, I had a horrible relationship with food and even a binge eating disorder.

[@ninamarshall7249]

I was never a horrible eater but after receiving a CKD diagnosis a month ago I immediately changed how I was eating. I’ve lost 7 lbs and lowered my BP (although it was horribly high 135/70) by 5 points!! I walk 2 miles at least 5 days a week and play golf 2-3 times a week. It’s made a huge difference for me.

[@FizBich32]

[@marystirrett7225]

About a year ago as I was making breakfast, a voice popped up in my head that said 'eat clean'. Believing it was God, I did as I was told and started eating clean. Within a very short period of time I lost 20 lb. Perhaps because I am a pescatarian, It took me quite a while to gain back the 10 lb of it - which I believe I need. My big problem with eating clean is that it's hard for me to find enough clean foods to hit my 2000 per day calorie goal without all the FAT and, too much fiber. So I am going to follow you and hope that you have lots of good recipes for me. 🙏🙏🙏

[@user-kv6jw1ip3o]

Amazing

[@emilysmith9956]

I have cut out refined sugars and only use maple syrup, honey and coconut sugar. We stopped eating out. I no longer drink soda and only eat organic unbleached flour for baking and sprouted bread with seeds. I’ve noticed I feel a lot better but I’ve been really bloated. Is that normal? I no longer crave junk food. We have been doing this for about 1 1/2 months. We only use avocado oil and ghee to cook with and extra virgin olive oil for dressings

I can't eat healthy. I'm just too addicted to bad food and healthy food tastes too awful for me to even try.

[@BBFLYRISEN]

That was my issue. In order to shake the addiction you can try to stop eating for a while and start over. Today is day 7 for me, no food. I’ve only had pineapple juice and water. I don’t crave anything at this point. Don’t know how long I’m going on liquid but when I go back to eating it will be just raw fruit and veggies. It’s easier for me to kick the bad food addiction by not eating at all for a while.

Why is there no meat in the thumbnail

[@zacharyparker2449]

Turns out not eating sugar and processed garbage is the key here IMO. I eat heavily salted red meat almost exclusively and have none of the issues I "should" have. I don't eat any fruit or vegetables AT ALL and I've never felt better in my life. Avoiding fat is the biggest mistake you can make. There are essential proteins and essential fats but no essential carbs. "Junk Food" almost always has carbs + fat which doesn't really occur in nature*. You start life off eating animal products(breast feeding) and you should continue to eat animal products after you ween off momma. Guess what breast milk has? fats and carbs... So you can fatten up your baby to give it a better chance of survival if times get lean. COMBINING carbs and fat will kick start the fat storage process starting with extra water retention. You can choose to avoid one of them (carbs or fat) and have success. I can't see humanity surviving millions of years if they had avoided meat so I made my choice.

[@keithcitizen4855]
