In this episode of Wellness Focused, Dr. Bismah Irfan dives into one of the most misunderstood areas of health—kidney disease myths that may be preventing people from taking proactive steps toward healing.
From “normal” lab results to protein fears and dialysis myths, Dr. Bismah breaks down the top five misconceptions surrounding kidney health. Drawing from functional and integrative medicine, she explains why standard labs may miss early dysfunction, how younger people are increasingly affected, and why hydration and protein guidelines must be personalized—not one-size-fits-all.
You’ll also learn why kidney disease doesn’t have to be a one-way path to dialysis. By uncovering and addressing root causes like inflammation, toxin exposure, and gut health, many patients can stabilize—and even improve—their kidney function.
This episode empowers you to look beyond averages, understand optimal health markers, and take charge of your kidney wellness with clarity and confidence.
If you’ve ever been told “your labs are normal” but still don’t feel your best, this episode is for you.
