83. How Your Kidney Function Predicts Your Lifespan after 40 with Dr. Neetu Sharma

This episode is for you if you're struggling with weight gain and tummy fat after 40. We are going to learn how the kidneys play a real role in how we age.

Dr. Neetu Sharma, otherwise known as the kidney whisperer, helps patients shed unwanted belly fat and unravel their metabolic dysfunction. She is a board certified physician in internal medicine and nephrology as well as functional and metabolic medicine. She is the founder of Zeal Vitality, which empowers patients to reverse disease and extend longevity.

We learn:

✅Kidneys play a crucial role in detoxification and weight management

✅GFR is a key indicator of kidney health and why you should pay attention to this on your annual labs

✅Belly fat is linked to kidney function and metabolic health

✅Hydration is essential for optimal kidney function

✅Cranberry juice can help prevent urinary tract infections, but use sugar-free versions

✅Electrolyte balance is important, especially for active individuals, but not everyone needs to supplement electrolytes

✅Dark urine can indicate dehydration and kidney stress

✅Protein intake is safe for healthy kidneys but should be monitored

✅Phytonutrients from colorful vegetables support kidney health

✅Regular check-ups are vital for monitoring kidney function
