Integrative and wholesome Kidney care
Dr. Gurleen is a renowned expert in kidney disease treatment, whose expertise in addressing the root causes of conditions has led her to develop an Integrative Kidney Care Program at Reliance Medical Center. She has been invited as a guest speaker on various podcasts and at conferences, sharing her insights on the prevention and halting of kidney disease progression.
Understanding that a diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) can be complex and emotionally challenging, Dr. Gurleen emphasizes that kidney disease is not merely a kidney issue but a systemic one. Since the kidneys filter out metabolic waste products, kidney dysfunction can influence not only blood test results but also the body’s overall toxic milieu.
Her approach focuses on gut health, as the gut takes over many functions of the kidney as the organ deteriorates. She also advocates for reducing the load on the kidneys by opting for plant-based, low-protein diets in collaboration with a renal dietitian. Salt, often hidden in modern ultra-processed foods, plays a significant role in kidney health, and Dr. Gurleen educates patients on the importance of managing salt intake to support kidney function.
In her podcast appearance on “Five to Thrive,” Dr. Gurleen discussed how reducing salt intake and increasing high-fiber foods can positively impact blood pressure and kidney health. Additionally, she incorporates mind-body techniques, yoga, and body cleansing practices that promote alternative routes of toxin removal, helping reduce the strain on the kidneys.
Dr. Gurleen is acutely aware that kidney disease often requires patients to take multiple medications to address blood test abnormalities, such as high potassium and phosphorus levels, fluid management, and controlling conditions like diabetes and hypertension. She works with patients to apply holistic approaches that aim to slow or even reverse the progression of kidney disease.
Her approach is unique and personalized, setting her apart from traditional nephrologists. By focusing on the patient as a whole, she has helped many experience significant improvements in their kidney health. In addition, Dr. Gurleen offers advanced urine metabolite testing for patients with kidney stones. This testing helps identify dietary changes that can slow the progression of kidney stones and alter urine composition to prevent future occurrences.
