In July 2021, I learnt of books by Lee Hull who has tackled serious kidney disease for 20+ years now. These books are written in plain English. They are targeted at patients with kidney disease to help them understand this disease, and to help them work with their doctors while they make lifestyle changes — especially dietary — to improve kidney function.

Books by Lee Hull:

• Stopping Kidney Disease (538 pages, 2019) by Lee Hull. This book has 42 chapters and 700+ citations!
• Stopping Kidney Disease Basics (144 pages, 2022) by Lee Hull. This is a shorter version of his longer book called Stopping Kidney Disease.
• Stopping Kidney Disease Food Guide (126 pages, 2019) by Lee Hull. This book is a short, supplementary book with meal plans and recipes.

I haven't read these books yet but I have a feeling that they are relevant to everybody, not just kidney patients. Why? For prevention! So that we can protect our kidneys in advance! Why wait for them to fail before we learn how to take care of our kidneys!

Also, discussions around acid load, acidic vs alkaline foods, protein quality and quantity keep surfacing in many contexts. And if we do Google searches, we run into confusing articles that don't paint a coherent picture.

YouTube channel: Lee Hull's YT channel has a few recipe videos and some testimonials.
