I was told chronic kidney disease (CKD) only gets worse… then my eGFR jumped to 61

Episode 370: “I was told chronic kidney disease (CKD) only gets worse… then my eGFR jumped to 61.”
In this powerful LIVE conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Bettye Mashack (Dr. B) to share her inspiring Stage 3 CKD journey — from fear, anxiety, and feeling alone… to taking control of her health and seeing major changes in her kidney labs.

Dr. B opens up about:
How she discovered CKD from routine bloodwork (eGFR / GFR and creatinine)
The moment she refused to accept “there’s nothing you can do”
What she changed with her kidney diet (including a more plant-based kidney diet, watching sodium, and being mindful of potassium and phosphorus)
How she navigated confusing advice, supplements, and “watch and wait”
The emotional side of CKD: stress, depression, CKD anxiety, and how she pushed through
Her personal experience adding Renadyl (a kidney-focused probiotic) to her routine and why she believes it helped her along the way

This isn’t medical advice — it’s one patient’s real story, real lab numbers, and real lessons learned. If you’re living with stage 3 CKD, trying to slow CKD progression, or just want hope and practical steps you can discuss with your healthcare team, this episode is for you.

Kibow Biotech, the makers of Renadyl arranged for Dr. B to be available for the live interview. They did not provide or review the questions asked. Renadyl is a kidney-friendly probiotic developed by Kibow Biotech to help reduce nitrogenous waste, reduce inflammation, and support a healthier gut microbiome, which plays a crucial role in CKD management. Backed by years of research and clinical studies, Renadyl offers a natural, complementary approach to traditional treatments for kidney disease and has been part of my treatment strategy since 2019.
