Do We Have Kidney Health All Wrong?

Is high protein intake responsible for chronic kidney disease? Have you ever heard that ketogenic diets are harmful to your kidneys? These are just a few of the common kidney health myths debunked in this interview with Dr. Thomas Weimbs, who says that traditional views on what causes chronic kidney disease are “definitely not founded in science.” Dr. Thomas Weimbs, professor and vice chair at UC Santa Barbara, has spent decades studying chronic kidney disease (CKD). His recent research explores the impact of ketogenic interventions on kidney function, and the findings may surprise you. Rather than harming the kidneys, Dr. Weimbs is finding that keto can actually improve kidney function in people living with CKD. According to Dr. Weimbs, “Clearly, the number one cause of chronic kidney disease is not protein in excess—it’s, of course, carbohydrates in excess and type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance is causing chronic kidney disease.” In this episode, you’ll learn: Why longstanding myths about protein and kidney function need to be re-examined Why misconceptions around keto and kidney health exist How ketogenic diets are showing promise for chronic kidney disease (including PKD) About results from randomized controlled trials and the 2-year Virta Health study How ketones may directly benefit kidney health Dr. Weimbs also shares insights from his lab’s ongoing research—findings that challenge conventional thinking and call for a re-examination of how we understand and treat chronic kidney disease.
