Episode 145 — Healthy Heritage Series: African Foods & Kidney Health (Part 1)

African food is rich in memory, flavour, culture and community — & Kidney Warriors deserve to enjoy the dishes they love with confidence. In this Black History Month special, we celebrate traditional African foods and show how to adapt them for kidney health without losing flavour or heritage.

In this episode of the Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, Dee is joined by renal dietitians Timi & Tadala, contributors to Kidney Care UK’s African & Caribbean Recipes magazine. Together, they demonstrate practical ways to reduce potassium, salt and phosphate, choose ingredients wisely, season food with less sodium, & prepare African dishes — including Jollof rice, greens & cornmeal — in a kidney-friendly way. This episode brings culture, cooking and kidney health together, helping you enjoy the food you love while protecting your kidneys.

Whether you are living with CKD, on dialysis, post-transplant, or supporting a loved one, this cooking episode will empower you to enjoy traditional African meals with knowledge, balance & confidence.

💚 In This Episode, You Will Learn

• How African heritage foods can be adapted for kidney health
• Potassium-lowering methods (soaking, boiling, peeling, freezing)
• How to manage phosphate and reduce processed foods
• Salt swaps & seasoning alternatives
• Why there is no single “kidney diet”
• How to keep flavour while protecting your kidneys
