Mindsip insights from this episode:
Address leaking mitochondria to protect kidney health
A lack of the mitochondrial protein TFAM can cause mitochondrial DNA to leak out, triggering immune cell invasion, cysts, and kidney cell death.
Balance sodium and potassium intake for kidney health
Achieving a proper balance between sodium and potassium intake, often by increasing potassium, can have a direct and powerful positive impact on the kidneys.
Utilize resveratrol to enhance kidney function and TFAM levels
The controversial supplement resveratrol has been shown in human studies to improve kidney function and may increase TFAM, especially in people with high blood sugar.
Manage high blood pressure to protect kidney function
High blood pressure is associated with reduced levels of the protective mitochondrial protein TFAM, directly harming kidney function and health.
Target STING pathway to protect kidney cells from inflammation
Leaked mitochondrial DNA is detected by a protein called cGAS, which activates an inflammatory cascade known as the STING pathway, harming kidney cells.
