- 0:00Speaker 1: Afternoon, everybody. It is July sixteenth, twenty twenty six. Talk
- 0:05Speaker 1: today about five new discoveries about kidneys that are changing
- 0:10Speaker 1: how scientists think. New research suggests kidney's influence more than
- 0:14Speaker 1: just your fluid balance. We'll dive into this because this
- 0:17Speaker 1: one's near and dear to me, as today happens to
- 0:20Speaker 1: be my fifteen year anniversary of being cancer free. All agree, Hi,
- 0:25Speaker 1: and welcome to Health Talk with Doctor Lynn. Your daily
- 0:27Speaker 1: does The information you hear on the show is informational.
- 0:30Speaker 1: It's not meant to diagnose or treat any disease. Any
- 0:34Speaker 1: kind of complete health conditions must be checked out and
- 0:39Speaker 1: discussed with your primary care physician. Get ready for the
- 0:42Speaker 1: good news of the day. God bless you folks, and
- 0:46Speaker 1: here is doctor Lynn. They're daily devotional today comes from
- 0:50Speaker 1: the Book of Psalms, chapter forty. Self. Pity is a slimy,
- 0:54Speaker 1: bottomless pit. Once you fall in, you tend to go
- 0:57Speaker 1: deeper and deeper into the mire. As you you slide
- 1:00Speaker 1: down those slippery walls, You're well on your way into depression,
- 1:03Speaker 1: and the darkness is profound. Your only hope is to
- 1:07Speaker 1: look up and see the light of My presence shining
- 1:09Speaker 1: down on you. Though the light looks dim from your
- 1:12Speaker 1: perspective deep in the pit, those rays of hope can
- 1:15Speaker 1: reach you at any depth. While you focus on me
- 1:18Speaker 1: and trust, you rise ever so slowly out of the
- 1:20Speaker 1: abyss of despair, finding you can reach up and grasp
- 1:23Speaker 1: my hand. I will pull you out into the light again.
- 1:27Speaker 1: I will gently cleanse you, washing off the clinging mire.
- 1:31Speaker 1: I will cover you with my righteousness and walk with
- 1:33Speaker 1: you down the path of life. Stay tuned seven two, seven, nine, one, six, four, two,
- 2:55Speaker 1: one five five. New discoveries by kidneys are changing how
- 2:59Speaker 1: scientists think. Many people think of the kidneys as glorified filters.
- 3:04Speaker 1: New research, early unpublished and so far mostly on animals,
- 3:08Speaker 1: suggest these two fists sized organs do far more than
- 3:12Speaker 1: we thought. Our kidneys appear to be in constant conversation
- 3:15Speaker 1: with the immune system. Highlight that underline that kidneys commune
- 3:23Speaker 1: system and even with our cravings. Presented at the American
- 3:26Speaker 1: Physiological Societies Control of Renal Function and Health Disease Conference,
- 3:31Speaker 1: the findings offer a glimpse and how quickly scientists understanding
- 3:35Speaker 1: of kidney functions evolving. Number one kidneys may help drive
- 3:39Speaker 1: your salty cravings scientists have traditionally viewed salt appetite as
- 3:43Speaker 1: something controlled largely by the brain. Whoever, new findings suggests
- 3:47Speaker 1: the urge to seek hot salt may arise from a
- 3:49Speaker 1: conversation between the kidneys and the brain. The kidneys are
- 3:54Speaker 1: an active participant in shaping salt intake behavior. The kidneys
- 3:58Speaker 1: are an underregulated salt influence fluid balance. They also contain
- 4:02Speaker 1: sensory nerves that continue to send information of the brain
- 4:06Speaker 1: about the body's internal state. The test to test whether
- 4:10Speaker 1: these signals affect salt appetite, researchers first depleted rats of
- 4:14Speaker 1: sodium and fluid, then beay them access to both water
- 4:17Speaker 1: and a salty solution. Rats with intact kidney nerve signaling
- 4:23Speaker 1: drinks significantly more of the salty solution than rats whose
- 4:26Speaker 1: kidney sensory nerves have been disconnected, while water intake stayed
- 4:30Speaker 1: about the same in both groups. Findings get off explain
- 4:33Speaker 1: why cutting back on sodium can be difficult for some
- 4:36Speaker 1: people and may point researchers to new ways to manage
- 4:39Speaker 1: excess salt. Number two, When you eat is as important
- 4:44Speaker 1: as what you eat. Most advice for protecting kidney health
- 4:47Speaker 1: focuses on what you eat, especially limiting excess sodium. However,
- 4:51Speaker 1: a new study in rats prone to salt sensitive high
- 4:54Speaker 1: blood pressure suggests that when you eat matters as much
- 4:57Speaker 1: as what you eat. Researchers found that whose foods was
- 5:00Speaker 1: limited to daily eating window, a pattern known as time
- 5:03Speaker 1: restricted feeding, showed molecular changes in the kidney consistent with
- 5:07Speaker 1: reduced inflammation compared with rats that could eat whenever they wanted.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Researchers took two groups of rats and fed them a
- 5:15Speaker 1: salt diet. One group was allowed to eat salty food
- 5:18Speaker 1: whenever they wanted. The other was put on an intermittent
- 5:20Speaker 1: fasting routine. They were only allowed to eat the salty
- 5:23Speaker 1: food during a specific window of time each day. Even
- 5:27Speaker 1: though they ate the same salty food, The fasting group
- 5:30Speaker 1: had healthier kidneys. Their kidney showed less inflammation. Their bodies
- 5:33Speaker 1: naturally turned on genes that helped the kidneys burn energy
- 5:36Speaker 1: from fats and carbohydrate more efficiently. Researchers found evidence of
- 5:41Speaker 1: increased glucose neogenesis, a process in which the kidneys produced glucose.
- 5:46Speaker 1: May all reflect broader metabolic changes associated with time restricted feeding.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Number three, Exercise may help the kidneys recover from injury.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Exercise is done to support the heart, muscles, and metabolism. Now,
- 5:59Speaker 1: a new study in mice suggests it may also help
- 6:01Speaker 1: the kidneys recover from certain types of injury. Researchers found
- 6:05Speaker 1: that mice allowed to exercise voluntarily for several weeks recovered
- 6:09Speaker 1: more quickly from a common type of kidney injury known
- 6:12Speaker 1: as aeschemic reperfusion injury. Three days after the injury, signs
- 6:17Speaker 1: of kiddy damage had largely returned toward normal in the
- 6:20Speaker 1: exercise mice, while sedentary mice continue to show signs of
- 6:24Speaker 1: ongoing injury. Number four. Some immune cells may help keep
- 6:31Speaker 1: blood pressure in check. New research existed some immune cells
- 6:35Speaker 1: may help protect against high blood pressure. Researchers studying salt
- 6:39Speaker 1: sensitive hypertension, a condition which blood pressure rises more dramatically
- 6:43Speaker 1: and responds to eating salty foods, found that removing certain
- 6:46Speaker 1: immune cells, known as myloid cells, worsened hypertension rather than
- 6:51Speaker 1: improving it. Mice lacking these cells experienced larger increase of
- 6:54Speaker 1: blood pressure, retained more sodium, and showed poor blood vessel
- 6:58Speaker 1: function produce less nitric oxide, a molecule that helps keeps
- 7:02Speaker 1: blood vessels relaxed and maintain healthy blood flow. The finding
- 7:07Speaker 1: suggests at least some of the immune cells help the
- 7:09Speaker 1: body manage excess dietary salt by supporting the kitty's ability
- 7:13Speaker 1: to remove sodium and helping blood vessels function properly. Challenging
- 7:17Speaker 1: the common assumption that immune activity is always harmful in hypertension,
- 7:23Speaker 1: our finding suggest that the immune system isn't necessarily working
- 7:26Speaker 1: against the body and high blood pressure. Certain white blood
- 7:29Speaker 1: cells appear to actually protect the body during salt sensitive hypertension.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Number five, the immune system's kidney repair crew immune system
- 7:39Speaker 1: may influence more than blood pressure. Another study in mice
- 7:42Speaker 1: suggests it also plays a critical role in helping the
- 7:44Speaker 1: kidneys recover after injury. Using advanced imaging and genetic tools,
- 7:49Speaker 1: the researchers tract immune cells called macrofages and the mice
- 7:53Speaker 1: is kidneys following a QTE kidney injury and found the
- 7:57Speaker 1: cells appear to assume different jobs at different stages of recover.
- 8:01Speaker 1: Early after injury, the cells moved in and clustered in
- 8:03Speaker 1: an area of inflammation and damage. Later, they helped to
- 8:07Speaker 1: clear away cellular debris and support the repair process while
- 8:12Speaker 1: removing some of these cells before injury could be protective
- 8:15Speaker 1: who are removing them During the recovery phase, slow healing
- 8:18Speaker 1: and damage material lingered in the kidneys, increasing the risk
- 8:21Speaker 1: of long term scarring. The kidneys are far more than
- 8:25Speaker 1: passive filters. Across these five studies, the kidneys emerge as
- 8:30Speaker 1: deeply woven into the body's communication networks shaping behavior, metabolism,
- 8:35Speaker 1: blood pressure, and immune response. Although not yet settled science,
- 8:39Speaker 1: taken together, these findings reflect a broader shift in how
- 8:43Speaker 1: scientists increasingly see the kidneys as organs whose influence extends
- 8:48Speaker 1: throughout the body, playing a far larger role in overall
- 8:51Speaker 1: health than most people ever realized. There's a little peace
- 8:55Speaker 1: on consultations. Hi everybody, and welcome. I just want to
- 8:59Speaker 1: talk to you for a bit about consultation times. You
- 9:03Speaker 1: may not be aware that that's pretty much where my
- 9:06Speaker 1: training has been my entire career, sitting down and delving
- 9:11Speaker 1: into health situations that an individual has so that you're
- 9:15Speaker 1: able to make at least some common sense out of
- 9:18Speaker 1: what's going on and make a plan for moving ahead.
- 9:21Speaker 1: So many people get frustrated by the traditional medical model alopathy.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Get a prescription, that's it. How often can they actually
- 9:30Speaker 1: make such a substantial difference or change something in the
- 9:34Speaker 1: physicality of you. So when you want to do a
- 9:37Speaker 1: consultation time, what you need to do is give me
- 9:40Speaker 1: a call at seven two seven nine one six four
- 9:45Speaker 1: two one five, or go directly to my website d
- 9:49Speaker 1: r L E NJB dot com. It's dr L E
- 9:55Speaker 1: NJB dot com and right there you can schedule your
- 9:57Speaker 1: own consultation time. You'll notice that there's a questionnaire to
- 10:02Speaker 1: fill out that will help me ascertain what's going on
- 10:05Speaker 1: with your particular situation. And again you can call of
- 10:08Speaker 1: a message, we'll call you back and get your scheduled.
- 10:10Speaker 1: It's seven two seven nine one six four two one five.
- 10:15Speaker 1: God bless you folks, talk to you soon again. That
- 10:17Speaker 1: number is seven two seven nine one six four two
- 10:19Speaker 1: one five. Seem
