Understand your kidneys. Improve your metabolic health.
If you've been told your kidney numbers are a little off, or you're working on your weight, blood sugar or blood pressure, you're in the right place. I'm a board-certified nephrologist and obesity medicine specialist, and I turn the research into plain-English decisions you can actually use.
Here you'll find my weekly videos, free guides, a monthly members live and my weekly email. No hype, just the evidence and a clear next step.

My free Kidney Guide covers the two tests every adult should ask for, a 60-second kidney risk check, and the medicines that are changing kidney care.
