Did your kidney function drop again? 😟

That number can ruin your whole week, especially when the only plan you’ve been given is: test, wait, come back, repeat.

But your lab results are also information. They can show us what deserves attention, what may need to be tested, and what could be adjusted next. 🧪

Trying to eat healthy with PKD can quickly turn into:

Low salt.
Low fat.
Low protein.
Low carb?

So what are you actually supposed to eat? 🤷‍♂️

The key is understanding which foods to choose, how much protein you need, where your energy should come from, and how to formulate keto properly for PKD.

I just finished another fasted workout. 💪

Training before eating can be a practical way to combine exercise with the autophagy response, without attempting a prolonged fast.

I aim for at least one fasted workout each week.

That “healthy” snack in the car might not be so PKD-friendly. 🚗

The goal is to train your body to rely less on glucose and use fat-based fuel instead. Then your snack choices change too. 🥚🥩

They don’t know what it feels like to carry PKD quietly.

The fear is real. The blood work anxiety is real. The feeling of “just waiting” is real.

But maybe no one ever told you that PKD is not only about genes. Your metabolism matters too. What you eat every day matters.

What if the next big PKD research lead comes from the patient community?

In this clip, Dr. Beno Freedman explains that the PKD RRC is interested in hearing from people who have molecule or treatment ideas — including “off-the-wall” concepts that have not yet been tried in PKD.

This is such an important shift: patients are not just waiting on research anymore. They can help ask better questions, point researchers toward overlooked ideas, and bring real-world curiosity into the scientific process.

What makes a stem cell become a kidney cell — and not a liver cell, heart cell, or something else entirely?

Watch the full conversation on the Reversing PKD Podcast:

In this clip, Dr. Benjamin “Beno” Freedman explains one of the most fascinating parts of kidney organoid research: scientists can guide pluripotent stem cells into becoming tiny kidney-like structures in a dish.

And the wild part?

Sometimes the difference between creating kidney tissue and creating beating heart cell clusters can come down to the dose of the same signaling trigger.

For PKD research, this matters because these “mini kidneys” can form cysts and give scientists a human model to study what is actually happening in Polycystic Kidney Disease — outside the body, but much closer to real tissue than simple cell cultures.

This is where the future of PKD research gets very interesting.

Fiona Chin, whose podcast I recently appeared on, has synthesized much of what we talked about in a new article summarizing and expanding on my stance regarding Endotoxin as a necessary trigger for PKD. A very interesting read if this is new to you!

What if PKD cyst growth wasn’t just an inevitable progression, but actually had a physical “off-switch”? 🧬
