Plant-Based Eating to Slow Kidney Disease | Michele Crosmer, RD
Can the way you eat help protect your kidneys? Dr. Sean Hashmi sits down with renal dietitian Michele Crosmer to talk about using a plant-predominant diet to preserve kidney function, manage chronic kidney disease, and in many cases delay or avoid dialysis. The goal here is realistic: slowing progression and protecting function, not a promise to reverse established kidney disease.
