Surprise! These 3 Foods Could Be Straining Your Kidneys You may think you are eating healthy and clean, but some of the most common foods in your pantry and fridge are actually putting a strain on your kidneys. I have seen this happen over and over again in my chronic kidney disease clinic. Do you know what the average recommended amount of sodium is per day? What about the recommended sodium target for those who have chronic kidney disease? Why is animal protein hard on the kidneys? This week we are going to answer those questions and focus on three foods that could be straining your kidneys without you even knowing about it. We will talk patient stories, substitutions you can make and the science behind these choices.

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.
