In this essential follow-up episode, host Dee Moore welcomes back renal specialist dietitian Timi Omilana for the second part of their insightful series on food choices for kidney warriors. Whether you’re managing chronic kidney disease (CKD), on dialysis, or supporting a loved one through their kidney health journey, this episode is packed with practical, evidence-based nutrition advice to help you make informed dietary choices.
This time, Dee and Timi focus on five key categories of foods that kidney patients should limit to better manage their health. From hidden sources of salt to unexpected risks in everyday drinks, they break down common food myths and provide realistic alternatives to support kidney function.
Key topics covered include:
✅ Salt and sodium intake – Why even ‘healthier’ salt options might not be suitable and how to decode food labels to make better choices.
✅ Sugary and dark-coloured drinks – The truth about sodas, juices, and their impact on kidney health, plus kidney-friendly alternatives.
✅ Alcohol and kidney disease – How alcohol affects kidney function and what to consider if you choose to drink.
✅ Processed foods – Why pre-packaged and fast foods can be harmful and how to find convenient yet healthier alternatives.
✅ Fruits and vegetables to watch out for – Understanding potassium and phosphorus content in certain produce and how to balance your intake.
This conversation isn’t about restriction—it’s about empowerment. Timi provides practical tips and simple swaps that allow kidney warriors to enjoy food while protecting their health.
