This Thursday, we’ll have a special session with our Health Coach & Nutritionist 🙌 @Sonali Makani Kayal What makes this session different is that she is not just teaching from books. She was a caregiver for her mother, who had CKD, and spent years helping manage her diet, appointments, and daily struggles. So she understands: - the emotional side of kidney disease - caregiver stress - practical food problems - and what patients actually go through every day We also have @Alka Phutela who is a nutritionist and has been diagnosed with protein leak. I’m sure many of you will learn a lot from both their experience and guidance 💬 Comment below What specific question would you like covered in the webinar? Examples: - protein confusion - potassium/phosphate foods - Indian diet questions - eating outside - weakness/fatigue - supplements Drop your questions below 👇

I’m very happy to introduce @Sonali Makani Kayal , a nutritionist and health coach joining the community 🙌 But what makes her journey special is not just her experience — it’s the reason behind it. Sonali’s mother suffered a brain stroke and later developed kidney failure. As a caregiver, she spent years learning about kidney disease, diet, lifestyle, and the emotional struggles families go through. Even after losing her mother in 2016, she continued this journey to help others facing similar challenges. That is the kind of person we want in this community: someone who understands not just the science, but also the human side of illness. Let’s make her feel welcome Comment below with: 👉 one health goal you’re currently working on 👉 or one diet confusion you want help with We’re building this community together 🙏

We went through every drug an Indian CKD patient ends up on — what works, what barely works, and what we just keep prescribing. Some of it ruffled feathers. Most of it should have been said years ago. What we covered: - The Foundation 3 every CKD patient should be on — ACEi/ARB, SGLT2, statin - The conditional drugs that need a lab number, not a habit — phosphate binders, vitamin D analogues, iron/ESA - Why sodium bicarbonate is in half the prescriptions it shouldn't be in - Ketoanalogues — when they earn their price, and when they don't - Arkamin (clonidine) — the slide that caused the most uproar, with good reason - The yellow zone — cilnidipine, forever-PPIs, B-complex by reflex, herbal "kidney tonics" - A side-by-side of the typical 8-drug Indian CKD bag vs a clean 4–5 drug evidence-backed regimen The replay + slides are now in the Webinars section of the club. 👉 Here's what I want from you this week: 1. Watch the replay with your current prescription in your hand. 2. Drop a comment below with the medicines in your bag — I'll personally tell you which ones are foundation, which need a lab to justify, and which deserve a second-opinion conversation with your doctor. 3. Share this post with one person you know on a long CKD prescription. The single most useful thing this community can do is stop quietly tolerating polypharmacy. 4. Hit ❤️ if you found it useful so we know to keep doing the harder, more honest sessions. Reminder — never stop a prescribed medicine without speaking to your treating doctor. This is education to help you ask better questions, not a green light to deprescribe yourself. Let's clean up Indian CKD prescribing — one bag at a time. — Dr Arjun
