The Choice You Have Today
In 90 days you could still be watching those numbers climb…
Or you could be the patient whose nephrologist says, “Whatever you changed, keep doing it — your creatinine is trending down.”
Thousands of adults over 55 have quietly added these foods and felt more like themselves again.
Start with the easiest one tonight — slice some watermelon or toss a handful of blueberries on your yogurt.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How fast can food actually affect creatinine levels?
Studies show supportive changes in hydration, inflammation, and markers within 2–12 weeks when combined with overall healthy habits.
2. Do I still need my kidney medication if I eat these foods?
Absolutely — never change or stop prescribed medication without your doctor’s guidance. These foods are supportive, not replacements.
3. What if I’m on a potassium or phosphorus restriction?
Choose lower-potassium options (blueberries, cabbage, cranberries, garlic, lemon) and always follow your renal dietitian’s specific plan.
