March is National Kidney Month, a month dedicated to educating the public on kidney health. This episode is dedicated to bringing education and awareness to the serious effects of declining kidney function.

Kidney statistics: According to the CDC, in 2023:

More than 1 in 7 US adults—about 35.5 million people, or 14%—are estimated to have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

As many as 9 in 10 adults with CKD do not know they have it.

About 1 in 3 adults with severe CKD do not know they have CKD.

In this episode you will learn about the risk factors of CKD, the signs of CKD, complications, conventional treatment options, tests to evaluate kidney function, the stages of kidney disease, when to start taking your kidney health serious, and ways to help protect and restore your kidneys in a natural and holistic approach.
