00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Afternoon, everybody. It is July sixteenth, twenty twenty six. Talk

2
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:10.800
<v Speaker 1>today about five new discoveries about kidneys that are changing

3
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:14.240
<v Speaker 1>how scientists think. New research suggests kidney's influence more than

4
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>just your fluid balance. We'll dive into this because this

5
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>one's near and dear to me, as today happens to

6
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:25.039
<v Speaker 1>be my fifteen year anniversary of being cancer free. All agree, Hi,

7
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>and welcome to Health Talk with Doctor Lynn. Your daily

8
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:30.879
<v Speaker 1>does The information you hear on the show is informational.

9
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:34.600
<v Speaker 1>It's not meant to diagnose or treat any disease. Any

10
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>kind of complete health conditions must be checked out and

11
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.719
<v Speaker 1>discussed with your primary care physician. Get ready for the

12
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>good news of the day. God bless you folks, and

13
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>here is doctor Lynn. They're daily devotional today comes from

14
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>the Book of Psalms, chapter forty. Self. Pity is a slimy,

15
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.479
<v Speaker 1>bottomless pit. Once you fall in, you tend to go

16
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.560
<v Speaker 1>deeper and deeper into the mire. As you you slide

17
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>down those slippery walls, You're well on your way into depression,

18
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.040
<v Speaker 1>and the darkness is profound. Your only hope is to

19
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>look up and see the light of My presence shining

20
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 1>down on you. Though the light looks dim from your

21
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>perspective deep in the pit, those rays of hope can

22
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.159
<v Speaker 1>reach you at any depth. While you focus on me

23
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.680
<v Speaker 1>and trust, you rise ever so slowly out of the

24
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>abyss of despair, finding you can reach up and grasp

25
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.680
<v Speaker 1>my hand. I will pull you out into the light again.

26
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.359
<v Speaker 1>I will gently cleanse you, washing off the clinging mire.

27
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.519
<v Speaker 1>I will cover you with my righteousness and walk with

28
00:01:33.560 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 1>you down the path of life. Stay tuned seven two, seven, nine, one, six, four, two,

29
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 1>one five five. New discoveries by kidneys are changing how

30
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>scientists think. Many people think of the kidneys as glorified filters.

31
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.599
<v Speaker 1>New research, early unpublished and so far mostly on animals,

32
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>suggest these two fists sized organs do far more than

33
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>we thought. Our kidneys appear to be in constant conversation

34
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:23.039
<v Speaker 1>with the immune system. Highlight that underline that kidneys commune

35
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.719
<v Speaker 1>system and even with our cravings. Presented at the American

36
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.639
<v Speaker 1>Physiological Societies Control of Renal Function and Health Disease Conference,

37
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 1>the findings offer a glimpse and how quickly scientists understanding

38
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:39.199
<v Speaker 1>of kidney functions evolving. Number one kidneys may help drive

39
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:43.439
<v Speaker 1>your salty cravings scientists have traditionally viewed salt appetite as

40
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>something controlled largely by the brain. Whoever, new findings suggests

41
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>the urge to seek hot salt may arise from a

42
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>conversation between the kidneys and the brain. The kidneys are

43
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>an active participant in shaping salt intake behavior. The kidneys

44
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>are an underregulated salt influence fluid balance. They also contain

45
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.439
<v Speaker 1>sensory nerves that continue to send information of the brain

46
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 1>about the body's internal state. The test to test whether

47
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:14.159
<v Speaker 1>these signals affect salt appetite, researchers first depleted rats of

48
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.360
<v Speaker 1>sodium and fluid, then beay them access to both water

49
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:23.040
<v Speaker 1>and a salty solution. Rats with intact kidney nerve signaling

50
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:26.399
<v Speaker 1>drinks significantly more of the salty solution than rats whose

51
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:30.199
<v Speaker 1>kidney sensory nerves have been disconnected, while water intake stayed

52
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.680
<v Speaker 1>about the same in both groups. Findings get off explain

53
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>why cutting back on sodium can be difficult for some

54
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.519
<v Speaker 1>people and may point researchers to new ways to manage

55
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:44.519
<v Speaker 1>excess salt. Number two, When you eat is as important

56
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.920
<v Speaker 1>as what you eat. Most advice for protecting kidney health

57
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.240
<v Speaker 1>focuses on what you eat, especially limiting excess sodium. However,

58
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.480
<v Speaker 1>a new study in rats prone to salt sensitive high

59
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.360
<v Speaker 1>blood pressure suggests that when you eat matters as much

60
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.959
<v Speaker 1>as what you eat. Researchers found that whose foods was

61
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.360
<v Speaker 1>limited to daily eating window, a pattern known as time

62
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 1>restricted feeding, showed molecular changes in the kidney consistent with

63
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:12.279
<v Speaker 1>reduced inflammation compared with rats that could eat whenever they wanted.

64
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.439
<v Speaker 1>Researchers took two groups of rats and fed them a

65
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.279
<v Speaker 1>salt diet. One group was allowed to eat salty food

66
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>whenever they wanted. The other was put on an intermittent

67
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:23.519
<v Speaker 1>fasting routine. They were only allowed to eat the salty

68
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 1>food during a specific window of time each day. Even

69
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.079
<v Speaker 1>though they ate the same salty food, The fasting group

70
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.800
<v Speaker 1>had healthier kidneys. Their kidney showed less inflammation. Their bodies

71
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.759
<v Speaker 1>naturally turned on genes that helped the kidneys burn energy

72
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:41.480
<v Speaker 1>from fats and carbohydrate more efficiently. Researchers found evidence of

73
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:46.160
<v Speaker 1>increased glucose neogenesis, a process in which the kidneys produced glucose.

74
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:50.959
<v Speaker 1>May all reflect broader metabolic changes associated with time restricted feeding.

75
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Number three, Exercise may help the kidneys recover from injury.

76
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Exercise is done to support the heart, muscles, and metabolism. Now,

77
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:01.720
<v Speaker 1>a new study in mice suggests it may also help

78
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:05.439
<v Speaker 1>the kidneys recover from certain types of injury. Researchers found

79
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:09.720
<v Speaker 1>that mice allowed to exercise voluntarily for several weeks recovered

80
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.199
<v Speaker 1>more quickly from a common type of kidney injury known

81
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:17.160
<v Speaker 1>as aeschemic reperfusion injury. Three days after the injury, signs

82
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:20.560
<v Speaker 1>of kiddy damage had largely returned toward normal in the

83
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:24.759
<v Speaker 1>exercise mice, while sedentary mice continue to show signs of

84
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:31.120
<v Speaker 1>ongoing injury. Number four. Some immune cells may help keep

85
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:35.759
<v Speaker 1>blood pressure in check. New research existed some immune cells

86
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:39.199
<v Speaker 1>may help protect against high blood pressure. Researchers studying salt

87
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:43.000
<v Speaker 1>sensitive hypertension, a condition which blood pressure rises more dramatically

88
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.959
<v Speaker 1>and responds to eating salty foods, found that removing certain

89
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:51.040
<v Speaker 1>immune cells, known as myloid cells, worsened hypertension rather than

90
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.879
<v Speaker 1>improving it. Mice lacking these cells experienced larger increase of

91
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:58.560
<v Speaker 1>blood pressure, retained more sodium, and showed poor blood vessel

92
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:02.680
<v Speaker 1>function produce less nitric oxide, a molecule that helps keeps

93
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:06.959
<v Speaker 1>blood vessels relaxed and maintain healthy blood flow. The finding

94
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.160
<v Speaker 1>suggests at least some of the immune cells help the

95
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:13.399
<v Speaker 1>body manage excess dietary salt by supporting the kitty's ability

96
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:17.800
<v Speaker 1>to remove sodium and helping blood vessels function properly. Challenging

97
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the common assumption that immune activity is always harmful in hypertension,

98
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:26.160
<v Speaker 1>our finding suggest that the immune system isn't necessarily working

99
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>against the body and high blood pressure. Certain white blood

100
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>cells appear to actually protect the body during salt sensitive hypertension.

101
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Number five, the immune system's kidney repair crew immune system

102
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>may influence more than blood pressure. Another study in mice

103
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>suggests it also plays a critical role in helping the

104
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:49.120
<v Speaker 1>kidneys recover after injury. Using advanced imaging and genetic tools,

105
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:53.600
<v Speaker 1>the researchers tract immune cells called macrofages and the mice

106
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:57.000
<v Speaker 1>is kidneys following a QTE kidney injury and found the

107
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.920
<v Speaker 1>cells appear to assume different jobs at different stages of recover.

108
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Early after injury, the cells moved in and clustered in

109
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.240
<v Speaker 1>an area of inflammation and damage. Later, they helped to

110
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:12.480
<v Speaker 1>clear away cellular debris and support the repair process while

111
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.360
<v Speaker 1>removing some of these cells before injury could be protective

112
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>who are removing them During the recovery phase, slow healing

113
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.839
<v Speaker 1>and damage material lingered in the kidneys, increasing the risk

114
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:25.120
<v Speaker 1>of long term scarring. The kidneys are far more than

115
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:30.680
<v Speaker 1>passive filters. Across these five studies, the kidneys emerge as

116
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:35.480
<v Speaker 1>deeply woven into the body's communication networks shaping behavior, metabolism,

117
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.360
<v Speaker 1>blood pressure, and immune response. Although not yet settled science,

118
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.320
<v Speaker 1>taken together, these findings reflect a broader shift in how

119
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>scientists increasingly see the kidneys as organs whose influence extends

120
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:51.080
<v Speaker 1>throughout the body, playing a far larger role in overall

121
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:55.759
<v Speaker 1>health than most people ever realized. There's a little peace

122
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:59.840
<v Speaker 1>on consultations. Hi everybody, and welcome. I just want to

123
00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:03.639
<v Speaker 1>talk to you for a bit about consultation times. You

124
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:06.279
<v Speaker 1>may not be aware that that's pretty much where my

125
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:11.039
<v Speaker 1>training has been my entire career, sitting down and delving

126
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:15.080
<v Speaker 1>into health situations that an individual has so that you're

127
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.960
<v Speaker 1>able to make at least some common sense out of

128
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.840
<v Speaker 1>what's going on and make a plan for moving ahead.

129
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:26.000
<v Speaker 1>So many people get frustrated by the traditional medical model alopathy.

130
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:30.159
<v Speaker 1>Get a prescription, that's it. How often can they actually

131
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:34.200
<v Speaker 1>make such a substantial difference or change something in the

132
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>physicality of you. So when you want to do a

133
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:40.840
<v Speaker 1>consultation time, what you need to do is give me

134
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:45.039
<v Speaker 1>a call at seven two seven nine one six four

135
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:49.200

138
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 1>own consultation time. You'll notice that there's a questionnaire to

139
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:05.320
<v Speaker 1>fill out that will help me ascertain what's going on

140
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:08.559
<v Speaker 1>with your particular situation. And again you can call of

141
