Fasting and Kidney Disease: Can Fasting Reverse Kidney Damage? | Scientific Insights

In this video, we explore the fascinating link between fasting and its potential to improve various types of kidney diseases, including diabetic kidney disease, glomerular diseases, and polycystic kidney disease. Backed by groundbreaking scientific research and studies on both humans and animals, we dive into how fasting impacts nutrient sensors like insulin and mTOR to promote healing and reduce inflammation.

What’s Covered in This Video:

1. Diabetic Kidney Disease Reversal: Discover how a fasting-mimicking diet reduced protein in the urine, a key marker of kidney disease severity
2. Mechanisms of Healing: How fasting affects nutrient sensors (insulin and mTOR) to reduce growth signals, fibrosis, and scarring
3. Impact on Glomerular Diseases: Insights into how fasting reduces inflammation in autoimmune kidney diseases like IgA nephropathy, membranous nephritis, and MPGN
4. Polycystic Kidney Disease: How fasting and caloric restriction normalize kidney size and function in this genetic disease
5. Human and Animal Studies: Highlights from human trials and rat studies that demonstrate the potential of fasting to protect kidney health

Why Watch This Video? 

• Understand the science behind fasting and kidney disease reversal
• Learn about new treatments beyond traditional, toxic drugs like prednisone
• Explore how fasting may stimulate regenerative processes in the kidneys

Key Takeaways:

• Fasting lowers inflammation markers like CRP and growth factors like IGF-1, which are critical in autoimmune and chronic kidney diseases।
• Fasting-mimicking diets reduce kidney damage and promote healing at the cellular level।
• Fasting offers promising solutions for reducing proteinuria and improving kidney function।

Who Should Watch:

✔ Patients and caregivers looking for alternative kidney disease treatments

✔ Medical students and professionals seeking insights into fasting’s health benefits

✔ Anyone interested in the science of fasting and chronic disease management
