What do avocado and butter / greek yogurt and mayonnaise / nutritional yeast and cheese have in common?

Well, each of these food duos can be swapped for each other as a food substitute in your favorite recipes. Some of the best food substitutes are when you choose an unprocessed food over a processed one. That allows the food to keep their nutritional value. Sometimes these food swaps can be pretty obvious and sometimes they are not at all. If you have kidney disease making the right substitutions to your diet can make a huge difference in your health.

So, this week we are going to go in deep about this subject and cover lots of easy swaps you can start doing today. We will also cover a few quick recipes, so make sure to watch all the way through. Let me know in the comments what your favorite substitutions are.

Working as a kidney doctor, I found that my patients were often unaware of just how important diet and lifestyle were and how often they felt unsupported by generic advice to “eat healthy”. The home cook in me hated hearing this, so I set out to find a better way.

I began to combine my medical training and love of food, making videos of simple recipes that were based on science and packed with flavor. Instead of just saying “eat healthy” to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health.
