Have you been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and are unsure of where to start?

Are you struggling to manage your sodium, potassium, phosphorus, or protein?

Want to feel more confident in your food choices both at home and out to eat?

A diagnosis of ckd can be intimidating. It is often accompanied by more doctor’s appointments, managing new medications, and trying to drastically change your diet. All of this is a lot to process. There’s a lot of conflicting information out there. Some people say to cut out all sources of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus in your diet, others say that they are fine in moderation. Going out to eat might be nerve-racking. Life with chronic kidney disease can feel like a challenge when many foods have to be restricted, and you don’t know what to do to get your bloodwork under control.

Tools to Manage Chronic Kidney Disease

Kidney Disease Diets

You might be having trouble revamping your diet to help manage your sodium, potassium, and phosphorus levels. Some foods that you usually eat might have high levels of these minerals, but you don’t know how to change or incorporate them. Luckily, we can help you figure that out. Everybody has different dietary preferences, so we want to make sure you’re eating foods that you like while still managing your CKD.

Accountability

Knowing what to do is much easier than following through. Research shows that the more you communicate with your dietitian, the more likely you are to meet your nutrition goals. We have an amazing app to help you communicate with your dietitian. Use the Nourishly app to keep food logs, and photos of your food so we can help you manage your kidney disease.
