In a February 19 video Bethenny posted on Instagram, the shec said, “It’s right in the middle. Not quite at the medication point, except he said that, ‘Water is your medicine.’ He found a liver nodule in my sonogram, so it’s important to get these tests and stay with this stuff because you can find other things.” Later, she shared how the progression will affect her body.

Why Bethenny won’t be ‘alarmed’ yet

Revealing that the doctor said her kidneys have had some damage, presumably because of her “big anaphylactic allergy episode” she had a few years ago.” However, the entrepreneur notes, “It’s not quite for medication, so I’m not going to be quite alarmed yet. I’ll just keep drinking water,” as the doctor told her," that's the important thing. However, Bethenny also noted that the idea of drinking more and more water is what gives her anxiety because she notes, “I’m always dehydrated.”

Indeed, the former ‘Big Shot’ host previously admitted she doesn’t keep up with her water intake. But now, she’s encouraging herself and her followers to stay on track with health screenings.

Bethenny also shared a concerning trend

Bethenny also shared the concerning trends her doctor has found in patients with chronic kidney disease, such as seeing high levels of “turmeric and moringa” in their tests. Her doctor said moringa and turmeric are not good for the kidneys. “People are just running to do everything,” her doctor said.
