World Kidney Day can bring up mixed feelings. 😢

Because if you’re in Stage 3 or in early Stage 4, it can feel like you’re in limbo.❤️‍🩹

“Not unwell enough for specialist help… but too worried to just ignore it.”

If that’s you, this is your reminder: Stage 3 still matters. And we are here to support you.💪🏻

What kind of support would help you if you're Stage 3 or 4 CKD? Comment below.👇🏽

This advice is primarily for individuals with CKD Stages 3 & 4. It is solely educational and provides general advice only. It is not a substitute for seeing a registered dietitian or another qualified healthcare professional.

If you were diagnosed with Stage 3 CKD and quietly thought, “Right… now what?” - you’re not alone, and we hear this all the time. 💚

A lot of people are told very little beyond “cut salt” or “drink more water”, then left to figure it out on Google (which usually makes things worse). 🙃

Swipe the carousel for a simple first-steps plan that doesn’t involve panic-restrictions or cutting out everything you enjoy. 💫

What’s the most confusing part for you right now when it comes to your diet? 👇

Let’s do a quick CKD-friendly food shop together 🛒

Because most people with Stage 3–4 are trying to shop with a mental checklist of “can I have this?” running in the background… and it’s exhausting.🥲

In this reel, we’ll show some of the foods to look for during your supermarket shop - from lower salt bread and cheese, to beans/pulses, frozen veg, and oily fish.💪🏻

Follow for more kidney-friendly food ideas. ✅️

If breakfast feels like a daily puzzle… let’s simplify it. 😎

Having 3 go-to breakfasts reduces decision fatigue and helps you be consistent without thinking about CKD 24/7. 💪🏻

Swipe for 3 repeatable options you can mix-and-match. ❤️

Which one of these is your favourite - 1, 2, or 3?👇🏽

“When one person says stop eating potassium, and another says you don't need to worry about it… It’s exhausting.” 😭

This is exactly why CKD advice can feel so stressful - it’s rarely specific to your stage, and it’s often missing context - your personal blood results, other health conditions and your current way of eating. ❤️‍🩹

What’s the most conflicting advice you’ve heard? Comment below, and we’ll try to help.👇🏽

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). ❤️‍🩹
