PKD and the Vegan Keto Diet 18-Month Update, My GFR

In September 2019 I began intermittent fasting. Then in January 2020 I started a vegan keto diet to see if it would help my PKD (polycystic kidney disease). Since making a couple of videos about this I get a ton of questions asking my results. Did the keto diet help my GFR and creatinine levels? So I decided to make a video sharing my results, and answering your questions. I also want to reiterate that I am NOT a doctor! You need to consult YOUR nephrologist to ensure this change is right for your kidney disease stage, and have them monitor your lab work.
