Finding out you have CKD can feel like the ground shifts under you - especially when it comes through an app, a text, or a letter with little explanation. 🧐

What we hear most often is:

👉 “I feel alone.”
👉 “I don’t know who to ask.”
👉 “I’m scared to eat the wrong thing.”
👉 “I’ve been Googling for hours and I’m more confused than ever.”

If that’s you, please hear this: you don’t have to solve everything today. You don’t need a brand-new diet overnight. You need calm, clear next steps - and support while you find your feet. 💫

If you’ve been diagnosed in the last 6 months: what questions do you have right now? 💚

And if you’ve been diagnosed for longer: what’s one piece of advice you wish you could go back and tell yourself? 🥰

Drop it in the comments 👇 (we’ll be reading every one).

Plant-based eating with CKD. It’s not the same as going vegetarian or vegan 🌱

✔️ Plant-based = mostly plants (fruit, veg, wholegrains, beans/lentils)
✔️ You can still include small amounts of dairy, chicken or fish
✔️ Why? Can slow down kidney decline, support other pre-existing health conditions & help with CKD complications such as phosphate management, metabolic acidosis & cardiovascular disease

Real Bread Week is the perfect excuse to talk about something we get asked all the time with CKD:

“Is bread OK with CKD… and which one should I choose?” 🍞

If you love baking, making your own can be a brilliant option -mainly because you’re in control of the ingredients (and you can keep salt lower). 🤍

But let’s be real: most of us aren’t baking sourdough on a Tuesday morning. And you don’t need to, to still eat well with CKD. 😉

That’s why we’re sharing:

✅ a lower-salt sourdough recipe (for anyone who wants to try - it tastes great!)

✅ and simple, practical tips for choosing bread in the supermarket when baking isn’t possible

Because kidney-friendly eating has to work in real life - not just in theory. 💪🏻

👇 Comment “BREAD” and we’ll send you our guide to buying bread for CKD (what to look for + what to prioritise).

Happy Ramadan to everyone observing. 🥹✨️

For many in our Muslim community, fasting is a deeply meaningful part of Ramadan - spiritually, emotionally, and as a way to feel connected through worship and community.

Fasting during Ramadan can absolutely be possible in earlier stages of CKD - but keeping an eye on your health is key during this holy month. 🤍

We've shared how to assess your risk level for fasting, as well as tips on how to fast more safely with CKD in our Ramadan guide: https://kidneywise.co.uk/blog/ramadan-and-kidney-disease

Wishing you a joyful Ramadan. ☺️

Protein advice online can be… complicated. But with CKD, research shows that how much protein you eat can have an impact on your kidney function - and more is not better. ⛔️

For many people with stage 3–4 CKD, the sweet spot is moderate protein (not too much, not too little) and these 3 steps are a great place to start:

✅️ Think twice about protein powders/shakes (unless your team has specifically advised them)

✅️ Shift towards a plant-based pattern of eating: this does not exclude animal protein, but plants make up the main part of your diet

✅️ Start with small swaps and don't try to overhaul everything overnight: maybe 2 veggie meals/week or use half animal protein/half plant protein in your meal

Follow along for realistic CKD nutrition tips (no extremes, no overwhelm). ❤️‍🩹

Sleep issues are a common complaint we hear from people with CKD - and it’s so easy to feel like you’re the only one lying awake at 3am. 😓

Let’s get a quick snapshot of how we're all doing 👇

Meal planning with CKD isn’t just “being organised.” It’s trying to make the right choice… while you’re tired, busy, and getting mixed messages online. ✅

If you’ve ever thought:

👉 “I don’t know what’s safe to eat”
👉 “I can’t face another week of decisions”
👉 “I’m cooking twice to keep everyone happy”
…you’re exactly who we made our CKD meal plans for.

They give you structure without stress: recipes, shopping list, and kidney-friendly portions - so you can spend less time worrying and more time just eating. 🤍

If “processed food” has you feeling confused… you’re not alone. ❤️‍🩹

Yes - cutting down on ultra-processed foods can definitely be helpful.

But here’s the thing: not all processed foods are created equal. 😊

Minimally processed options can be absolute lifesavers with CKD - quick, affordable, and still nutrient-rich. And absolutely can be included in a kidney-friendly healthy diet. Think:

- Tinned fish
- Tinned beans/lentils
- Frozen veg
- Plain yoghurt
- Oats

A simple goal that actually works in real life:

➡️ more whole foods most of the time
➡️ minimally processed foods to complement these
➡️ limit ultra-processed foods

Follow along for practical, CKD-friendly food swaps that make this feel doable. ✅️
