Nutrition support for chronic kidney disease (CKD)

Slow the progression of kidney disease, protect your remaining kidney function, and feel confident about what to eat. I offer personalized medical nutrition therapy for CKD stages 1–5, covered by most major insurances.

Virtual nutrition support for chronic kidney disease.

How nutrition helps with CKD
 

  • Manage potassium, phosphorus, and sodium intake. 

  • Prevent or delay dialysis. 

  • Improve lab results like creatinine, albumin, and GFR. ​

  • Balance protein needs for your specific stage of CKD. 

  • Educate you on all things CKD to always be in control of your condition.

Covered by your insurance

I’m in-network with Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and UnitedHealthcare. Most clients pay $0 out-of-pocket.
