10 Dietary Steps to Help You Prevent and Manage Kidney Disease | The Cooking Doc®

Don’t let the cardiologists and poets fool you: your kidneys are the real
heart and soul of your body. (Of course, as a kidney doctor, I’m a little
biased.)

When patients come into my office, I use a 10-step plan to set them on the path to kidney health. Some steps may take you months to achieve, and that’s OK. Even if you slowly incorporate these steps into your diet over the course of years, you’re moving toward a lifetime of health and wellness.

Today I am going to share these ten steps with you. For more detailed information, you can check out my book with the links below.

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 YouTube 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 YouTube 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.
