If You’re Over 60 and Itching at Night, Your Kidneys May Be Warning You | Dr. William Li

If you’re over 60 and dealing with relentless itching, unexplained skin tone changes, or extreme dryness/flaking—this may NOT be “just aging.” Your skin can be a warning dashboard for what’s happening inside your body, and one of the most overlooked causes is kidney stress.

In today’s episode, we break down 3 skin signals that can appear long before kidney problems cause pain, including:
✅ A deep, persistent itch that doesn’t improve even after moisturizing
✅ Skin that looks pale, grayish, or unusually yellow/washed out
✅ Severe dryness and flaking that may occur alongside swelling

You’ll also learn the sneaky diet triggers that can make symptoms worse (especially hidden additives in processed foods), plus simple science-backed swaps to support your body—starting today.
