Dietary fiber, the carbohydrates found in plant foods, helps lower cholesterol, reduce heart disease risk, decrease stroke risk, control blood sugars and even aid in weight loss. However, most people don't get enough fiber. The average American only gets about 10-15 grams per day while the recommended amount is 38 grams/day for men and 25 grams/day for women.  Let's examine the link between fiber and kidney disease. Specifically, let's look at the effects of a high fiber diet on uremic toxins, uric acid, and other toxic products. Can fiber be the missing ingredient for kidney patients?

Non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) is a condition where fat builds up in the liver. This leads to liver damage and scarring.  Roughly 30% of American adults are thoughts to have NAFLD. It can range from simple fat build-up in the liver to liver cirrhosis. In fact, it is one of the reasons for liver transplants. The most significant risk factors are weight, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease. One of the most effective treatments for fatty liver disease is weight loss. In this interview, we sit down with Dr. Meagan Gray to talk about the role of whole-foods, Plant-Based diets, and fatty liver disease. Dr. Gray is an Assistant Professor at the University of Alabama.
