When experienced integrative physician Dr. Robin Rose discovered she had a kidney tumor and early signs of kidney disease, she was shocked—but determined. What followed was a deep dive into an often-overlooked aspect of chronic disease care: kidney health.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Rose shares how her personal health journey ignited a mission to bring kidney care into the spotlight within functional and integrative medicine. She highlights how kidney dysfunction is frequently underdiagnosed or misunderstood, even in root-cause-focused care models.

Through her own research and collaboration with a naturopathic kidney specialist, Dr. Rose developed a holistic framework for supporting kidney health—incorporating nutrition, lifestyle, toxin reduction, and innovative therapies like bio-regulator peptides. Her new book, Ology Peptides: Kidney Success with Bio-Regulator Peptides, explores this approach in detail.

Tune in to learn:

• Why kidney function is the "silent factor" in many chronic disease cases
• The key lifestyle and environmental factors impacting kidney health
• How peptides—especially bio-regulator peptides—are being used to support kidney repair and resilience
• Why a proactive, systems-based approach is critical to reversing kidney decline
• How practitioners can better support patients before dialysis becomes the only option

If you're interested in whole-body health and emerging tools in functional medicine, this episode will shift the way you think about kidney care.
