Kidney disease often develops silently—with no symptoms until you've lost up to 90% of function. But that doesn’t mean it’s irreversible. Dr. Karen Dwyer, a kidney specialist with over 20 years' experience, reveals how most kidney disease, high blood pressure and diabetes share the same root cause: poor metabolic health. You'll learn why the old advice to limit protein with kidney problems is wrong, how insulin resistance drives kidney damage, and practical steps to protect your kidneys through nutrition, sleep and stress management. Dr. Karen shares practical advice and inspiring stories. This episode shows you how to spot the warning signs early and take control of your kidney health before it's too late.
