  • Episode 48 of the PKD Dietitian Podcast kicks off the first "Fact vs. Fiction" segment tackling myths about meat consumption for those with Polycystic Kidney Disease. Is it necessary to eliminate meat from your diet if you have PKD? The PKD Dietitian will clarify that while a PKD diagnosis doesn't mean you must stop eating meat, paying attention to the type and amount of protein you consume is important.  Diana will break down the three primary protein sources—plant protein, animal meat, and animal-derived products—and highlight the benefits of incorporating more plant-based proteins into your diet.

    With practical tips like Meatless Mondays and understanding plant-forward eating, she aims to clear up misconceptions and offer actionable advice to support your PKD kidney health through mindful protein consumption.

  • In this episode, The PKD Dietitian geeks out a bit looking at the recently published results of the KETO-ADPKD trial.  This is the very first randomized controlled trial (RCT) looking at PKD and ketogenic diet therapy, if there was any impact on the kidneys, or if it is even doable.  

    Listen in for a look at:

    - what was being tested

    - how the study was set up

    - were there any significant results?

    - what did the ketogenic diet therapy look like

    - The PKD Dietitian's thoughts & questions

     

    CORRECTIONS

    All participants tested ketones at home using a breath meter.  Only the Ketogenic Diet group had blood ketone levels tested, at their center visits.Participants in the Ketogenic Group received 10%, not 10 grams, of their fat from MCT.
