Dr Upma Bhatia walked us through three real patients — No CKD, Stage 2, and Stage 4 — and built a different plate for each. Massive turnout, even bigger questions. If you missed it (or want to rewatch with your blood report in hand), the full recording is now in the Webinars section of the club. What we covered: - The KDIGO 2020 protein dial — exactly how much you need at every stage - The three minerals that decide everything: potassium, phosphorus, salt - Why "low salt" salt-substitutes can be dangerous in CKD 4–5 - The hidden phosphorus trap most CKD patients miss - The thali principle — why a properly built Indian plate is already a complete-protein meal - A live sample day-on-a-plate hitting 80g+ of protein A huge thank you to our two patient volunteers who shared their actual labs — your courage helped the whole community learn. Two things to do now: 1. Watch the replay this weekend with your most recent blood report next to you. 2. Drop your questions below — Dr Upma and I will answer them in this thread before next week's session. If you found it useful, do give feedback on google - https://share.google/pIu8oxOMzeJ0vM11U — Dr Arjun
