I think they emphasized the plant-based & lower protein approach only with their stage 3 & 4 patients, for whom a heavy meat-based protein approach proved detrimental, esp w Stage 4, & hastened their progress towards dialysis. For stage 1 & 2, however, I believe they did say that lowered protein, esp animal protein, was not so important and that they had seen significant & completely unexpected improvements in those who had, on their own, followed a more typical keto diet like yours. So your success does not really conflict with what they have found and stated, I don't think. But in any case, congratulations!! What a wonderful outcome for you!!

I have PKD and am very active in the PKD community. Know several people who tried their program for months and they got fatter with less protein and GFR went down. I think it's an OK approach for people coming from bad unhealthy diets but it doesn't compare with healthy animal-based diets. They raised a few issues with protein, but the truth is that there's not much data to support these claims, also there are a lot of people with PKD improving their health (and GFR - TKV) on animal-based keto. EDIT: Another thing to add is that their approach can be REALLY dangerous for people in advanced stages since anemia is a very common complication for kidney disease and cutting back on red meat is NOT the best idea.

Looking forward to part 2 cuz this raises as many questions as it answers. I still don't know why they're persisting with 'plant based' when it wasn't helpful in the first instance. There seems to be a lot of the 'plant based' rationale based on risk of renal stones without any discussion of what % of patients will develop crystals and who won't. Also their example 'day of eating' isn't what most people would call plant based as this has become a codeword for vegan or vegetarian. I came away with the perception that their use of the label 'plant based' has more to do with marketing and political correctness than reality

My main take from this is that most kidney disease is genetic and that if it doesn't run in your family then most of this doesn't really apply to you, especially if you don't already have some form of kidney disease. I also have a strong sense that they are pushing a plant focused diet for ideological reasons, and designing their testing to force the results they want, but at least they admit that a vegan diet is not healthy. There was a little hemming and hawing about the bio-availability of nutrients of plants versus meats, but they push the plants nonetheless (along with supplements).

It's genetic if you have PKD. But Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), which is similar enough, is a result of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and High Blood Pressure, which is what most CKD patients have. And how many people have T2D? An insane amount, 1 in 10 people. My key takeaway was... BASICALLY, if you have T2D, you need to cut carbs ASAP to reduce or halt the progress of your CKD and even end stage CKD (Stage 4-5) can show benefits from an appropriate Ketogenic diet.

GFR is just a calculation. I did MRI for 30 years. Many many patients had low GFR numbers of 20-30 simply because they were dehydrated. Not because they had truly been diagnosed with a kidney disfunction. After being on a IV drip for 2-3 days, their numbers ALWAYS went up. Always. I’ve been doing Keto & carnivore. I know for certain that I’m dehydrated. I drink saltwater, electrolytes, plus LMNT. It all goes straight thru me. I did read & see that Fish DHA supplements greatly help kidneys. So I’ve been taking 1-2 of those a day. Low GFR number vs dialysis are competent different things. Video was also disturbing because the woman KNEW just how bad oxalates are to the kidneys. She sounded ignorant. If someone really want veg than they should eat broccoli or asparagus. Something low oxalate.

If oxalates are only found in plants then why restrict meat? Shouldn’t the goal be to avoid plants at all costs if avoiding oxalate stones is a goal in CKD? It sounds like their clinging to veggies may be misguided ideology because at 14:11 she said a 100% “vegan diet wasn’t nourishing enough”, but then she contradicted herself by saying “plants are nutrition dense” (22:54). Is the need to shun animal protein perhaps only relevant when consuming vegetables? What’s the evidence that a pure keto-carnivore diet is bad for the kidneys once decoupled from veggies? Is more acidic urine on its own likely to harm the kidneys? And what about higher amounts of amino acids in the absence of oxalates? Might a keto/carnivore diet therefore allow more protein intake compared to a plant-based focus, thus allowing older patients to better preserve muscle mass in the long term?

Im curious. Is half capacity kidney function in a 80 yr old man, who's had diabetes type II for 40 years, considered kidney disease? At my old man's last check up he was told he had his kidneys working at half capacity, but wasn't refered to a specialist, which I find worrisome seeing as though I've been trying to get him to eat like a low carb bodybuilder for years, unsuccessfully, I might add. He takes meds but refuses to eat well. He's a carb junkie. He'll often skip meat and poultry for a bowl of rice and few bites of salad at lunch, before napping. Afterwards, he eats half a small bag of icing/cream filled cookies, then complains about his diabetes not getting any better. When I tell him it's a lifestyle issue, that he eats too much, more kcals than he expends, he protests that he doesn't physically eat much. I then remind him of caloric density, such as those cookies he eats, and of food composition such as subsisting on rice and bread, which is where he changes the subject. It's like dealing with a 5 yr old's temper tantrum.

I'll audit his lunch tomorrow when I pass by and see what his food composition and macros look like, and suggest modifications.

@@kyleduffy I don't debate that the brain can function on ketones. I presume 130 g/day is a figure meant to avoid that considering most people don't premeditatedly go into ketosis. As for the brain functioning better on ketones or sugar, I've heard it both ways and don't possess a degree in an associated field to sift through bias and bullshit. I will say I've heard the support for sugar being long standing, and the ketone support being recent and so needs to be excessively convincing to break previously established models. Support from epileptics doing better with ketogenic diets isn't convincing in my view as only some forms of epilepsy improve, and in those cases improved, it's believed to have to do with a rare genetic mutation in carbohydrate manipulation. This anomaly can't be extrapolated to the population at wide, and would be akin to suggesting wheat is bad for everyone because a select few have issues. That doesn't follow. Having said that, you didn't answer how you addressed you dad's presumed kidney disease from long standing diabetes, and how you got him to buy into a ketogenic diet. I assume you increased his protein? How does that play to his kidney issues? As for my suggesting my dad limit his carb intake rather that eliminate it, there's other issues at had that support a moderate approach, like the fact that he needs to keep his fiber intake high or else he loses regularity. There's also the issue of resistance on the part of his wife to have to change her cooking repertoire, not to mention that she also needs to cook for handful of employees that work for my dad's business. She ordinarily cooks a buffet like lunch, with a soup or two as entre, one or two meat offerings (poultry and red meat or pork, sometimes fish and seafood), with either rice, potatoes, or pasta, and two or three salads to choose from. There's a lot of moving parts there, my dad, his wife, their employees, and the odd family member who eats there, so it's just easier to encourage my dad to pick and choose what to eat from what's presented (make healthy food choices), rather than change their whole system they've been doing for half a century. Lastly, I don't debate most Americans are suffering from diabetes due to over eating. But I don't think we should lose sight of it being situational, in that overconsumption always relates to energy expenditure, not to the over eating any one macronutrient in isolation. Therefore, resorting to extreme ketosis isn't strictly necessary.

Is it really genetic ? or is it kids following parents diets that translate to the same diseases that the parents get? Example: parents eat a certain (unhealthy diets in most cases) and teach their children to Eat the same way and they get the generational diseases? Thomas Seyfried in his videos on cancer is a metabolic disease as most believe it is genetic which I believe is a very small percentage.

Why do they think that animal protein (from its higher amino acids) is the high stressor yet seeing oxalates as a component of the formation of kidney stones is not? A high plant based diet with poorer protein (missing essential amino acids) and high oxalate content is more likely the causative factor. If a nutritionally poor diet is the cause then trying to restructure the diet needs to fix that first. IMHO I don't think they will be able to do that successfully with more plants which aren't providing the essential nutrients the body requires in the first place. Also relying on supplements to provide them seems problematic as well. As far as the acidity of blood being a factor then maintaining balanced electrolytes is certainly a key factor as well where the overall kidney function is concerned.

Everything today is blamed on genetic issues and one must ask why is it genetic. My dad had diabetes so I started getting an early onset but nut knew get on a keto diet to get off of the medications. My dad eventually had Alzheimer’s. Had my German mom known not to bake all the time sweet things it could have helped my dad. My dad and my brother developed kidney stones. Does that mean because I am on keto I will get them? They were both people who drank a good amount of alcohol so that could explain why they had it. We develop certain things we call genetic because of the improper diet we eat. I think it’s important for us to eat a whole food diet whether it’s meat or veggies which I include a lot of. I cannot just eat meat because it will not keep me on the diet. So we tell people eat more fish and then they get mercury problems and develop another issue. They give us meds for blood pressure but yet they ruin our kidneys eventually. No one has the total answer and each one of us is different and respond differently to diet. I do not eat meat all day and mix it up with fish at least a couple days a week. I eat fruit now here and there. I will never eat these plant-based meat substitutes because what God creates is what we should eat. The healthiest country in the world In 2022 was Spain. They love ham and fish.The US was very down on the statistics and I mean way down and we have the most gyms and the most people eating vegan diet’s. How do we explain that?

Big food and pharma are corrupting our health agencies and medical institutions because their bottom lines are more important to them than our health. For example, our FDA gets 65% of its funding from pharma that it's supposed to be regulating. If that's not conflict of interest, I don't know what is!

This is tricky. So my husband passed a kidney stone this weekend (1st time) and the hospital scan showed a little dot on his liver (still has to get another scan). Man lives on coca cola and bread and for the first time ever the sedentary guy is willing to drink water and start exercising and will eat what I tell him to. But like going yolo diet doctor style high protein low carb might medically not be get best thing for him so I don’t want to be the idiot that causes him harm because I loosely interpreted a medical diet from the internet. Like everyone can agree on what he has to stop but what can he actually eat. I called my school friend who is a dietitian and told her his sensory issues mean he wont touch veggies so she said that eggs and unprocessed meat are ok (she says veg protein is better but 🤷♀️). Gonna start there until we get actual tests and scans back. But maybe add some yoghurt or a banana if he’s craving carbs

Increasing one's urine pH above 6.5 is important for those on a low carb diet, not enough discussion of this by doctors. Changing your entire diet to raise your urine pH seems needlessly complicated though when for 30 cents/day I raise my urine pH from roughly 5.3 to 6.75 with 6-8g of a mixture Na/K Bicarbonate and Mg/K Citrate. Doing this has greatly improved my UA and creatinine levels

Balance is the best way to go about it figure out what's wrong with you and correct it and then work to maintain complete balance not one over another

And too much meat does cause me a lot of problems. It does make my acid pH high. So I sort of mix it not too much eat lots of vegetables, lots of fruit. And I'm supposed to give up soda that's a little heart and I do eat sweets on occasion that's hard to give up and I only reason why I haven't given up all carbs because if I eat no carbs, I end up getting diarrhea. And if I eat too much meat, I get constipation. and it’s the MRR with that color stuff that affects my kidneys negatively and every time I have a bacterial infection, I need an antibiotic some antibiotics will affect my kidneys negatively. My father had our allergies to antibiotics, but he didn't have bad kidneys. he died at 76 years old from a blood clot to to the brain which was operative, but he refused because of religious reasons. I don’t belong to that religion.

I’m tired of hearing about diabetes and high blood pressure. I have chronic kidney disease because of lupus, and allergies mainly all allergic to antibiotics and certain types of dies and chemicals used by the Medical industry hyper sensitive to those and every time I take any antibiotic certain ones will make my kidney function go down and certain types of dies for test surgery also greatly reduce my kidney function. The doctors ideas like let’s see if You body eventually filter it out I don’t like that. And there is definitely a genetic connection. They’re various people in both sides of my family that had kidney Ice, chronic kidney disease and all of them were women. All of them didn’t have any children only one ever was on the dialysis and my great grandmother to be 91.
