Bethenny Frankel recently shared some eye-opening news about her health—a diagnosis of stage 2 chronic kidney disease. The reality star took to Instagram, revealing that her kidney function had been low after a series of blood tests, prompting a visit to a specialist. Interestingly, the doctor suggested that past traumatic experiences, including her near-fatal allergic reaction to fish in 2018, may have impacted her kidney health.
Hydration has been a key focus in Frankel’s life lately. She confessed she’s not drinking enough water, despite a doctor’s orders to guzzle down a liter and a half daily. It’s a reminder that even those in the spotlight can struggle with everyday health tips, like drinking enough water. Frankel shared her story not to alarm her fans but to encourage everyone to take their health seriously and stay proactive with regular check-ups.
By opening up about her kidney disease, Frankel aims to inspire her followers to hit that water bottle harder while monitoring their health. After all, if this diagnosis can happen to someone who’s always on the go, it should be a wake-up call for the rest of us. So, are we all raising our glasses to hydration now?
