Results
These graphs show real-world changes in eGFR for individuals I’ve worked with over time. Some clients experienced modest improvements, while others saw more substantial changes. Results vary based on many factors, including stage of CKD, overall health, and consistency with recommendations, but these examples illustrate how targeted nutrition and lifestyle support can positively influence kidney health trends.
Individual results vary. eGFR is one of several markers used to monitor kidney health.
