3 Signs the CKD Advice You’re Following Might Be Wrong

Not all CKD advice is created equal. Here are 3 signs it might be time to rethink what you’re following:

🚩 Red Flag #1: They’re selling you a product instead of providing real guidance. Be wary of advice that pushes products, gimmicks, false promises, or other “quick fixes” as the solution to CKD. These products often overpromise and underdeliver, putting your health at risk.

Here’s a great way to spot them: 💩Look for vague claims like “flush toxins,” “reverse kidney disease,” or “heal your kidneys naturally.” 💩Pay attention to websites that immediately lead you to buy supplements, teas, or plans without offering credible, actionable guidance. 💩Watch for sneaky upsells—when you click to buy, are you suddenly offered more products or higher-priced “exclusive packages, or deals”?

🚩 Red Flag #2: They’re giving you generic advice and/or recipes and expecting it to work for everyone.

💸One-size-fits-all plans or “kidney-friendly” lists might seem helpful, but they don’t account for YOUR unique needs, labs, or CKD stage. What works for someone else may not work for you.

🚩 Red Flag #3: They’re telling you to avoid certain foods—but those foods sneak into their own recipes.

🚽 If someone tells you to avoid certain foods but includes them in their recipes, it’s a sign that the advice might not be reliable—or safe. Clearly there are pieces of their puzzle missing and chances are high they never had those pieces in the first place.
