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 🙏

A lot of people with kidney disease end up taking multiple supplements — often without knowing what is actually needed. What supplements are you currently taking? Comment below — it will help others learn what’s working (and what’s not). Here’s a simple, practical way to think about it: ☀️ Vitamin D Very commonly low in CKD Helps with bone health, immunity, and overall wellbeing→ Best taken after checking levels 🩸 Iron Only if you are deficient (low ferritin / Hb)Can improve fatigue and anemia→ Don’t take blindly — always check first 😴 Magnesium Can help with muscle cramps and sleep in some people→ Use cautiously if kidney function is reduced (eGFR < 20)
