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.

Based on my personal experience and insights gathered from @Arjun Sabharwal , health guides, and various webinars, here are some important do’s and don’ts to help slow down the progression of CKD: Do’s & Don’ts: 1. Avoid frequent use of painkillers, especially NSAIDs 2. Stay away from unverified herbal supplements, particularly those that may contain heavy metals 3. Limit salt intake in your daily diet 4. Focus on lifestyle changes — balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep 5. Prevent severe dehydration; stay well hydrated as advised by your doctor 6. Maintain appropriate protein intake as per medical guidance 7. Take prescribed medications consistently, in the right doses and at the right time 8. Keep diabetes and blood pressure under strict control 9. Track your key health parameters over time and avoid panicking over a single fluctuation These are practical steps that can make a meaningful difference over time. What has worked for you? Would love to hear your learnings and experiences — please share in the comments.

We’ve covered: - how much protein is right for you - what changes with kidney disease / diabetes - common mistakes (too much vs too little) - practical food examples Let’s make this practical Comment below: 👉 How much protein you take in a day 👉 Your eGFR (if you know it) We’ll help you understand if it’s: - too much - too little - or just right Small changes in protein intake can make a big difference — let’s get it right 👍

Very informative webinar regarding diet in general CKD people. Thank you doctors @Arjun Sabharwal and @Upma Bhatia for organising.. :)

One of the most common questions:“Kitna protein lena chahiye?” It depends on your kidney function. If you do NOT have CKD 1.2 – 1.5 g/kg/day If you have CKD - CKD Stages 1–3: ~1.0 g/kg/day - CKD Stages 4–5 (not on dialysis): ~0.6 – 0.8 g/kg/day - On dialysis: ~1.2 – 1.5 g/kg/day Why this matters - Too much protein → extra strain on kidneys - Too little → weakness, muscle loss The goal is the right balance for your stage This Friday — Live Session Our dietician & nutritionist @Upma Bhatia will cover: - How much protein YOU need - Plant vs animal protein - Best sources for Indian diets - Her favourite simple recipes Drop your questions below 👇 We’ll answer them in the session 👍
