I have suffered from chronic kidney stones for the last 13 years and have been feeling very defeated because I feel like I’m doing the best that I can do in terms of my diet and I still keep producing stones. This Information has finally given me the clarity that I need based on my 24 hour urine results so that I can finally focus on what I need to be focusing on.

The podcast is only 47min, and I thought I would hear informative information to help with my kidney stones. All I hear is you guys backgrounds and that’s not helpful to me at all.

The show is hosted by renowned dietitian Melanie Betz and the information is amazing. Great topics presented in a way easy for people to understand. Awesome podcast for healthcare professionals and those with kidney stones as well!!

As a kidney stone dietitian myself, I consider Melanie to be the expert in this emerging field! I love listening to the episode every week to learn from her.

Melanie is the go-to dietitian for all things kidney stones! This podcast is so informative and Melanie presents the material in an easy to understand way. I highly recommend to all patients and healthcare professionals!

I just started listening to your podcast today. I have had kidney stones for about 25 years, had lithotripsy four times and still not sure how to prevent kidney stones. I have taken the 24 hour urine test twice. I have been under the care of three urologists over the 25 year period. I went to the urologist yesterday for my six month check up and just feel defeated with how to keep these stones from growing. A friend of mine from work has a mother who very recently had one of her kidneys removed because of the size of the kidney stone. I don’t know all of the details of her complications. I am now terrified of losing a kidney if I don’t finally understand how to eat and have self-control to stick with the right eating plan for me to not grow the stones I have or not have new ones form. (My stones don’t do a lot of moving… they just grow. My last stone was causing blockage. I had two lithotripsy back to back. I still have not passed all the broken up fragments. I will continue to see my new urologist in 6 months. I changed urologists last year). I am going to listen to these podcasts and use your suggestions on what to eat. I am thankful for you.

Such a wonderful new kidney stone resource! I’ve been following Melanie for a while and have been very impressed with the quality of information she presents. Her dedication to truly offering help is obvious. What is fun about this podcast is the ability to hear Melanie’s uplifting and encouraging voice. Her spirit shines through--upbeat, genuine, honest. Love it! Even the intro music was cheerful!

Melanie consistently takes difficult, confusing diets and breaks down the science to make them safe and understandable. An unbelievable asset for both patient and clinicians!
