Today we’re going to talk about how to protect your kidneys.

The kidneys can take a beating and can even regenerate. They are composed of roughly one million tiny filters, which filter your blood.

But as you age, you start losing these filters—so it becomes even more important to start eating better and decrease exposure to toxins.

The two worst things for your kidneys are sugar and oxalates. It’s crucial to stop consuming sugar and high-carb foods and to start limiting your exposure to high-oxalate foods.

However, consuming cheese or dairy with foods that are high in oxalates, but are otherwise healthy, can help counter kidney damage from oxalates.

Foods high in oxalates:
• Almonds
• Spinach
• Beet tops
• Peanuts
• Grains
• Beans
• Sweet potatoes
• Cassava
• Tapioca
• Kiwi
• Chocolate
• Swiss chard
• Turmeric
• Cinnamon
• Clove

The best ways to protect your kidneys:
1. Consume lemon water every morning
2. Consume apple cider vinegar mixed in water
3. Consume 2.5 liters of water a day
4. Avoid high-oxalate foods or add dairy to high-oxalate foods
5. Get on the Healthy Keto® diet and do intermittent fasting
6. Avoid fructose
7. Avoid consuming high levels of vitamin C
8. Consume potassium (not for end-stage kidney disease)
9. Consume plant foods and microgreens

    Thank you Dr. Berg. I have chronic kidney disease stage 3 and this is helpful. I have none of the diseases that cause CKD except I have had several stones over the past 20 years.

    • Jeff Sully on March 2, 2023 at 2:41 pm

      see my post above. Micro greens really helped me as well as celery juice.

    • Janet Rapisardi on March 2, 2023 at 2:53 pm

      Diet really does help. My friend has had a kidney stage reversal this way. Her only vice – tomatoes (just a few) in summer. Remember to remove seeds and skin if you must. (lectins)
      Wonderful advice for those on keto and with this condition especially!

    • Jeff Sully on March 2, 2023 at 3:00 pm

      @Janet Rapisardi thank you..Yes diet..I recently passed stones after extreme caution with my diet, but I drank Almond milk daily which is super high in oxalates( much to my surprise).

    • Maegan Fees on March 2, 2023 at 3:54 pm

      @Jeff Sully celery juice is also very high oxalate unfortunately:(

    • Janet Rapisardi on March 2, 2023 at 4:57 pm

      @Jeff Sully didn’t know that! I’ll pass that along. Tx.

  2. WinningRabbit on March 2, 2023 at 11:39 am

    Honestly, I believe that Dr. Berg is the only doctor that knows about our health to this degree. All of the doctors I have known in my life time have been clueless. Thank you Dr. Berg!

    • Dieseltu on March 2, 2023 at 6:53 pm

      Not true ,I’ve been lucky to be involved with traditional Chinese medicine doctors which treat food as a medicine . And also understand that foods. Do things. Good and bad. . Saying that american doctors are prevented from using food as a treatment in general because of the fda . I have gout and a bad heart valve and. The gout is managed by food almost exclusively. And j don’t gave trouble I can look at all foods now and say very reliable what it will so to my feet. And in how many days . This guy knows his stuff. Everyone should be grateful .

    • Ram Prasanth Udhaya Baskar on March 2, 2023 at 6:54 pm

      I have the same experience as you.

    • Shania A on March 2, 2023 at 7:07 pm

      Dr Sten Ekberg is also one of my favorites

    • Shania A on March 2, 2023 at 7:08 pm

      I believe it’s up to us to become more aware of our health because of GMO and PESTICIDES

    • misskuni on March 2, 2023 at 7:10 pm

      I had a doctor tell me to eat fiber because it goes through your blood and scrapes away plaque. I have a decent education and I just looked at him speechless. My heart is fine number one – it was astounding.

    Give this man a Nobel Peace medal.

    To avoid the possibility of getting a high amount of oxalates from turmeric, take it’s derivative, curcumin, it’s an extract of turmeric, and therefore concentrated so you won’t need to take as much but you’ll still receive the antioxidant benefits.

    • Nadia Venice on March 2, 2023 at 1:44 pm

      You also need black pepper to activate them!

    • Jeffrobodine23 on March 2, 2023 at 2:44 pm

      @Nadia Venice thanks for bringing that up there’s one or two other substances. That increase the availability of turmeric as well. Can’t remember them at the moment.

    • Don on March 2, 2023 at 2:54 pm

      How?

  5. ERA 1016 on March 2, 2023 at 12:02 pm

    I admire you alot. I wish there are more doctors like you. Kudos to you Doc!

  6. Lio.z Oliver on March 2, 2023 at 12:33 pm

    Dr. Berg is an intelligent, tireless, respected physician and a good scientific researcher, whose broad spectrum of followers is evidently growing.

    • enduro fan on March 2, 2023 at 12:58 pm

      yup and we’re lucky to have him here and share a lot of what we needed to understand,
      that kind of knowledge is not that easy to achieve

    • Celeste Inman on March 2, 2023 at 1:17 pm

      Let’s keep sharing his videos. Let’s get them out there.

    • Mona Din on March 2, 2023 at 1:23 pm

      You are the best.I start my morning listening to your advice on health.It keeps me in healthy mode.I wish you all the best.

    • feistyterrier on March 2, 2023 at 4:56 pm

      The key word you used was researcher. A lot of doctors don’t do anything once they graduate. They just do what the pill companies tell them. Then have the nerve to call people that do what Berg does Quacks🙄

  7. Lindsay Lolli on March 2, 2023 at 12:33 pm

    I recently had my first kidney stone…I was eating a LOT of almonds and dark chocolate. The doctors told me that it was 8 mm and would be almost impossible to pass. I started drinking apple cider vinegar in my water every day along with corn silk tea…after 2 months my stone broke up into 3 parts and it passed! I still drink ACV and corn silk tea every day ever since💞 I’ve also lowered my oxalates too!

    • Bunny Bubs on March 2, 2023 at 4:53 pm

      @PolPotsPieHole ha! I can not drink water without my
      True Lemon packets ! I know they have a trace of sugar tho !
      He’s awesome ! The friday call in is amazing! Enjoy your day off ! Thank you!!

    • EstherO on March 2, 2023 at 4:53 pm

      @Mark Williams that is awesome stuff….chance piedra doesn’t receive the recognition it should.

    • Rachael 1776 on March 2, 2023 at 6:22 pm

      My husband gets kidney stones often and takes lemon juice & olive oil mixed together & follows up with a glass of water. Usually within 12hrs or less, he passes it. My Sister’s boyfriend did the same and avoided surgery. His Dr wouldn’t admit that the remedy worked, but did list it in his medical record that the large stone was no longer there after using olive oil & lemon juice😊

    • Bunny Bubs on March 2, 2023 at 6:41 pm

      @Rachael 1776 ratio? Daily ?

    • Ottee2 on March 2, 2023 at 6:59 pm

      @PolPotsPieHole , ACV and lemon juice once a day is about all I can handle. But, as a cook, many of the dishes I prepare get a squeeze of lemon to add flavor.😊

May God give you the grace to live forever!!!. Though I don’t have kidney problem, you have indeed educated me about somethings l never knew.
    God bless you.

    ” Lemons 🍋 are really good for the kidney”. I got it. Thanks so much Dr Berg 🙏!

  11. ꧁༒Set Apart༒꧂ on March 2, 2023 at 1:33 pm

    Dr. Berg doesn’t show us how to ‘manage’ our disease…he shows us how to get rid of it! 😀 THIS is what a doctor should be…

    • DickO on March 2, 2023 at 5:46 pm

      Most doctors are puppets for the big pharmas,

    • Leda Cedar on March 2, 2023 at 6:05 pm

      Absolutely; the rest of those MD’s are as good as Spreading Crap dog turds all over the body! Deep Six Pharmaceutical trained/brainwashed twats from your life and practice real wellness holistically!

  12. TopperPenquin on March 2, 2023 at 1:39 pm

    Thank you Dr.Berg you have saved me once again. I could never ever thank you enough as you have saved my life over and over again.

  13. The Farmacy Seeds Network on March 2, 2023 at 1:45 pm

    Excellent video as always. Definitely helped dropping vitamin c (ascorbic) and switching to peppers lemons and sauerkraut for my complete Vitamin C. HUGE difference in general health! Dr Berg helped me fix my health!

  14. Chyll on March 2, 2023 at 2:09 pm

    I started the year off going to the emergency room after severe pain on my lower left side. I thought I had food poisoning initially but when the pain returned the next day off I went to the ER. 6 hours later I was told I had a kidney stone and would have to pass it. I found your video on what one can do and by chance I had a bag of limes which I ate like they were the last ones on Earth. I was managing my pain by taking Alieve to get me through the days. On the 9th day the pain suddenly went away. I didn’t catch anything in the strainer. I didn’t feel anything. It was just over. The stone was 4 mm. I have a CT scan tomorrow to see if it’s gone or hiding as well as to check the one in the kidney. Thank you for the advice because it was rough! 😓

  15. Abdikaadir Miyir on March 2, 2023 at 2:38 pm

    Dr berg gives people free medical lessons and advises
    He deserves an award of the best YouTuber of the year.
    God bless you Dr. Eric berg

  16. Victor George on March 2, 2023 at 2:43 pm

    Whenever i am tiered, this man comes with me as an inspiration…. Thanks Dr. Berg for your contributions to this society 🙏

  17. snowblo1 on March 2, 2023 at 3:23 pm

    Oh Dr. Berg, thank you for touching on kidney health. I went from 93% now down to 49%. I don’t want it to get any worse 😫 🙃

  18. TheCristina49 on March 2, 2023 at 3:32 pm

    Dr. Berg knows more about Physiology than any doctor I know and he is so didactic to explain all these wonderful processes in our body. Thank you very much!!! I was operated of kidney stones twice but when I started to drink lemon juice regularly I did not get stones anymore.

  19. Anuj Gupta on March 2, 2023 at 3:51 pm

    Hi Dr Berg, I am 31 and recently I got tested and got to know my Uric acid level out of 7 is around 5.9 due to which I was having pain in my chin bone. I workout 5days and usually I am on a high protein diet. I was also consuming creatine for last two months.
    Can you please guide as to what and how can I reduce my Uric acid level and be on a protein rich diet. Also is der a possibility of any other reason of Uric acid level to be on a higher side.

    • THE FALLEN on March 2, 2023 at 5:34 pm

      Taking betaine hcl + pepsin will break down the protein so your kidney will be able to filter properly. Also deffinently take a break from creatine. Reduce sugar to prevent further damage to the kidneys.

  20. Roux Chat on March 2, 2023 at 5:30 pm

    I’ve notoriously been guilty of not drinking enough water. My urine was always too dark. Since I purchased a water filtering device, I now drink water all day long because it tastes so good. As a result, my urine is now a light yellow, and I have more energy. Thank you, Dr. Berg for breaking this all down. Already do everything you discussed. So nice to hear I’m on the right path. You rock!!! ❤️
