Have kidney disease, high blood pressure, or insulin resistance? A medicine in your bathroom cabinet could be quietly making your kidneys worse.
An estimated 35.5 million American adults have chronic kidney disease. As many as 9 in 10 adults with chronic kidney disease don’t know they have it.
The two biggest causes are diabetes and high blood pressure. In this video, I count down 10 everyday medications to avoid or review with your doctor if your kidneys are struggling, and what’s generally safer to use instead.
Some of these damage the kidneys directly. Others build up in your body because weak kidneys can’t clear them. Even common painkillers and constipation remedies can be risky, and #1 is probably in your home right now.
If you’ve followed my work on insulin resistance, metabolic health, and high blood pressure, this is the next piece of the puzzle.
High insulin and high blood sugar slowly damage the kidney’s tiny filters. High blood pressure strains the blood vessels that feed them. Damaged kidneys then push blood pressure even higher, and the cycle feeds itself. That’s why so many people with metabolic problems end up with “slightly low” kidney numbers years before anyone calls it kidney disease.
Fixing the root causes protects your kidneys. Avoiding the wrong medicines keeps you from undoing that progress.
