Episode 123: Signs Your Kidneys Are Not OK

Okay, so jumping into kidney health.

One of the things I want to preface this podcast with is saying that I specialize in skin issues and autoimmune, skin, gut, and autoimmune specifically.

So the people that I'm typically dealing with usually are coming to me with some form of a skin issue, whether it's psoriasis, eczema, acne, rosacea, hydrogenitis, separativa, The list goes on.

Atenia versicolor, vitiligo.

I'm specializing in skin issues.

It's my passion.

And so that's what I'm seeing the most of.

So a lot of the symptoms that I'm going to share today in regards to kidneys is usually coming from people that do have skin issues.

But...

I do also work with clients that have mold toxicity, a lot of mast cell activation.

So we're going to just jump in and I am excited about this topic because we talk about the liver all the time.

Here on the podcast, on my social media, every practitioner, everyone is always saying support your liver, support your liver.

So the liver is talked about, maybe not enough, I think still more people need to know about it, but it's talked about much more than the kidneys.

The kidneys often get overlooked.

What people don't realize is if your liver is overburdened by toxicity, by stress, by medications, whatever the reason, cholesterol, blood sugar issues, If your liver is overburdened, so will your kidneys be.

So very quickly, for those of you who are not familiar with how this all works, your liver and your kidneys are like the drains of our body.

So anything that you're eating, toxins that are in your food or metabolites and byproducts of what you're eating, toxins in the water, toxins that are produced internally from pathogens, from stress, etc.

Sugar and everything else has to filter, excrete, and eliminate through either the liver via your stool or the kidneys via your urine.

So typically, if the liver and the kidneys are working well, your body's functioning optimally.

And if say the liver starts to get bogged down first, the kidneys are taking much more pressure or the brunt of the toxicity.

Think about it this way.

Imagine if you have a sink and there's two drains in the sink for whatever reason, okay? You fill up the sink with water.

If you unplug both drains at the same time, the water is going to flow pretty equally through both of the drains and the sink will empty quite quickly.

If you unplug one of the drains only and the other one stays plugged, it's going to take longer for the sink to drain and there's going to be all of the water or majority of the water going through the one unplugged drain.

So that's how the liver and kidneys work together.
