In this week’s podcast, we take a deep dive into high protein diets and how they affect our kidneys. There is a popular narrative that a high protein diet can be hard on our kidneys.
This isn’t true!!
There has never been any study showing a high protein diet will harm our kidneys.
We look into the mechanism of increased urea production with a high protein diet and also look into the science for why people with kidney disease are placed on a low protein diet.
Spoiler, the “science” is bogus!
