Thinking of Trying Keto for Kidney Disease?
Ketogenic diets were used over a hundred years ago to treat epilepsy and diabetes. Fast forward to today, and now we know that well-formulated ketogenic nutrition therapy (i.e. the right kind of keto diet) can also support kidney health.
Research has shown that it can
-
reduce kidney stress and inflammation
-
improve eGFR and blood urea nitrogen levels (BUN)
-
improve blood pressure
-
improve overall metabolic function
-
support weight management​
Does science support keto for kidneys?

Client Success
Darrell C. ADPKD
"Ketosis was intended to help with my polycystic kidney disease, but maintaining a constant state of ketosis was incredibly challenging. This is where Mason & Lanz made all the difference. Their systematic teaching, science-based approach, and the extensive support I received from Erin and team were invaluable. With their guidance, I was finally able to stay in ketosis consistently and noticed improvements in my health. I can't thank Mason & Lanz enough for making this possible!"
Anna K. ADPKD & GI Issues & Migraines
"I have ADPKD, am approaching eGFR 26 with an average eGFR decrease of 6-7 per year, and I've suffered with considerable complaints... Orsolya explained a lot to me, was very attentive, encouraging and also persistently supportive. My kidney function has now stabilized and even improved. My blood pressure is now normal, bloated belly disappeared, all the joint pain, chronic headaches and digestive issues have resolved, my inflammatory markers are now in the normal range."
Eleanor R. CKD Stage 3b
"I am CKD stage 3B, following the Ketogenic Nutrition Program for Kidney Health. Since I've been working with Erin, every lab test has shown an improvement over the one before. I’ve been able to stop some medications. The personalized coaching has been invaluable, giving me guidance and accountability I needed to stick with it. I've learned so much about how specific foods and lifestyle changes impact my kidney function, and the constant support keeps me motivated. I highly recommend Mason & Lanz."
“Already during the 15-minute initial consultation, I knew I was in exactly the right place with Yvonne from Mason & Lanz. I wanted individualized support, not a group program - and the main consultation far exceeded my expectations. I got clear, highly competent answers to my specific questions about how to apply a ketogenic diet and supplements in relation to my medical condition. No question was left unanswered, and I received everything I needed to confidently continue on my own. On top of that, I got personalized tips and strength exercises that perfectly round out my program. I feel completely supported and in good hands - it couldn’t be better! 5 stars!!!”
Christian L. ADPKD & Overweight
"Working with Ueli has been a completely different experience from anything I’ve tried before, and I’ve spent a lot of money over the years on various programs, specialists, and so-called experts. Most people I worked with in the past either gave me one-size-fits-all advice or didn’t fully understand the complexity of my condition. Ueli's deep and broad understanding of nutrition - not just for general health, but specifically for someone with a kidney disease - meant that every recommendation actually made sense for me. What really sets him apart, though, is how he taught me to understand my body and adjust things myself going forward."
