After Lo's mama, the queen, had a health scare, she began doing research on kidney disease. She is the reason this episode is happening today! Queen is coming in hot on the mic with Lo to have an important conversation about a disease that is affecting 850 million people world wide. In the US alone over 35 million people will experience kidney failure and will need dialysis. You may even be dealing with the early stages of kidney disease and not even realize it. Do you or your loved ones have high blood pressure? or diabetes? Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is known as the "silent killer" because it can develop over years without causing any symptoms. When symptoms do appear, they can be vague and are commonly mistaken for other health issues by doctors. By the time the disease is detected, it may be too late to prevent it from progressing to kidney failure. On today's episode we are giving you the tools, nutrition tips and provide you with a helpful guideline for optimal kidney health so you can live a longer, healthier life. We are joined by the founder of Plant-Powered Kidneys- Jen Hernandez. She is a registered dietitian, board certified in renal nutrition. Did you know that over 40% of chronic kidney disease progression may be preventable with earlier diagnosis and treatment? On this episode, you will hear the facts around treating CKD earlier, what you should be eating and drinking, what to avoid and what our bodies need for optimal kidney health. We dispel health fads promoted by social media "health experts" who sell us juice fasts, superfood supplements, supergreen powders, detox juices and expensive vitamin supplements that are doing more harm than good in our bodies. This episode is jam packed with beneficial information that will help you live a better life. You don't want to miss this one boo! Stay Connected to The Lo Life!
