Nutrition, Lifestyle, and Balance

Living with a rare kidney disease means paying extra attention to what you put in your body. Everyday decisions around food, medication, and exercise can become so difficult that patients feel overwhelmed.

In this episode, C3GN patient Lilly joins us to share her journey managing her disease, from tracking apps to the challenges of overhauling her diet and finding motivation to stay consistent. Renal dietitian Anna Garza explains how nutrition needs a shift depending on the stage of kidney disease and dialysis status, and offers practical, realistic advice on what foods to choose day-to-day. Together, they highlight the fact that there's no one-size-fits-all kidney diet, only an individualized, balanced approach built in partnership with your care team.
