1. Did you just receive your kidney labs back from your Nephrologist and realized that your GFR level has decreased?
2. Have you also been told your creatinine & potassium is elevated?
3. Do you understand high blood pressure has a negative impact on kidney function?

(CKD). Our job is to help those living with CKD to overcome the confusing world of nutrition in order to preserve their kidney function. Often, CKD clients are also living with diabetes, which is a complication of poor glucose management for a prolonged period of time.

In our initial meeting, we evaluate labs such as Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), creatinine, albumin, blood pressure, and A1c. We take the time to explain what these all mean if the person would like this information. We educate our clients on kidney friendly diets based on their lifestyle and favorite foods that are customized to your nephrologist’s dietary modifications oriented to prevent the progression of kidney disease.

It is important to understand the importance of monitoring phosphorous, calcium, potassium, salt and protein intake. All of these nutrients, if consumed in the right balance, will help to increase the GFR, and lower albumin, creatinine and blood glucose levels.

The more protein waste that needs to be removed, the harder the kidneys need to work.

We strive to show our clients that a new dietary regimen can be tasty and enjoyable as long as they wake up each morning prepared and organized for their day. Let us take you by the hand and help you with your nutrition based on your personal needs.
