Is Kidney Disease Curable? Can Injured Kidneys Get Better?
These are two of the most common questions I get asked as a Nephrologist (kidney doctor).

When people are first told their kidneys are not working well, the first thing they often wonder and ask is "can my kidneys get better?". It is a natural question, but it also a complicated one to tackle. So today I am going to address those questions and hopefully give you all some answers. Stick with me as this is not a simple "yes" or "no" topic.

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.
