Rachel Arthur - Kidney Clarity: Early Signs & Smart Strategies
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is often a silent condition, progressing unnoticed until it reaches the later stages. In this episode, we sit down with naturopath and registered nutritionist Rachel Arthur to shed light on the early warning signs of kidney dysfunction. We explore the pathology markers that can serve as early screening tools, helping practitioners identify those at risk before significant damage occurs.
Rachel also unpacks both well-known and lesser-discussed risk factors for CKD, offering a comprehensive understanding of how kidney health can be compromised. Finally, we dive into nutritional and dietary interventions that can help support kidney function, prevent progression, and optimize overall health.
