Coffee and Kidney Disease: What 2025 Research Actually Shows

(Same core keyword focus works for podcast search)

What if everything you thought about coffee and kidney health was wrong?

Four years ago, I covered this topic in a video that hit over 2 million views. Since then, several major studies have emerged — bigger data sets, genetic insights, even research on the timing of consumption — and they paint a much clearer picture.

In this episode, I break down:

• The 2020 meta-analysis of 500,000+ people followed for 24 years
• New 2025 data showing 24% lower CKD odds with moderate intake
• Why coffee may actually slow kidney function decline over time
• The biological mechanisms behind coffee's protective effects
• A complete protocol based on your CKD stage
• What can go wrong, and who should be cautious

The bottom line: moderate coffee intake — about two to three cups daily — is consistently associated with lower risk of chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, and kidney stone formation. But the key word is moderate.

If coffee causes anxiety, raises your blood pressure, or keeps you up at night, it's not healthy for you. That's the SELF Principle in action — Sleep, Exercise, Love, and Food. Coffee fits under food, but never at the expense of sleep or peace of mind.
