Have you realized that adding in one more prescription is not the way to get you healing?
Do you feel like your healthcare team doesn’t quite understand what’s making you sick?
Are you tired of the shame that you feel when you are told that your health is getting worse and not better?
And are you finally ready for a different approach- one that empowers you and fills you up and one that has God in the midst of your healing journey?
I’m Karin Allumbaugh, functional medicine practitioner, Kidney Care Blueprint founder, and your host for the Rooted and Healing podcast.
As a former pharmaceutical researcher, I recognized that there was another approach to more and more prescriptions in the quest to achieve health. And when my mom was diagnosed with kidney disease, I saw first hand the problems inherent with our healthcare system, I saw so many recommendations that didn’t make sense scientifically and I also recognized that this approach left little room for God in the midst.
And that’s where the Kidney Care Blueprint came from.
This podcast further expands on those things that will help you heal, with kidney disease or beyond- autoimmune disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or blood sugar regulation issues, and more. We’ll uncover the foods and nutritional strategies that help you to heal. We will uncover the root causes that are contributing to your symptoms. We will talk about what is wrong with your current approach with your doctors and healthcare team. And most importantly, we will uncover the alternative therapies, the herbal remedies and supplements, the lifestyle changes that you need to finally go from fearful to courageous, as you are empowered to rest in God’s truths for your healing journey.

19. The Fallacies of the Dreaded Kidney Diet
Think you need to cut protein, salt, bananas, or beans to protect your kidneys? Think again.
In this episode, I’m busting the biggest myths about the “kidney diet” and showing you how overly restrictive rules can actually make things worse. From protein-energy wasting and muscle loss, to the hidden phosphorus and potassium in processed foods, we’re digging into the science of what really drives kidney decline.
You’ll learn:
Why slashing protein too far backfires in CKD
The truth about sea salt, sodium, and processed foods
Why fruits and veggies (yes—even potatoes and bananas!) improve survival in CKD
The real danger of food additives with hidden phosphorus and potassium
It’s time to ditch the fear, simplify your food choices, and rediscover eating as part of your healing.
👉 Hit play now and find out how to eat for kidney health without the stress.
