Chronic Kidney Disease
Nutrition plays a critical role in managing chronic kidney disease (CKD). When the kidneys are not functioning well, waste products and fluids can build up in the body. Nutrition becomes essential in managing CKD by helping to control the buildup of waste products, maintaining a balance of minerals, and managing overall health.
With personalized education sessions to pinpoint problem areas, I can teach you what foods to limit, what are the best replacement foods, and how to make those foods fit into your lifestyle. As a specialist in managing CKD, I’ll monitor your nutritional status, and make adjustments based on individual needs and stages of the disease.
Dietary needs can vary significantly based on the stage of CKD and individual health conditions. Through your individualized program, we can help delay disease progression, reduce the likelihood of malnutrition, reduce related complications (obesity, anemia, heart disease, diabetes), and reduce the chance of hospitalizations.
Let’s work together to manage your disease and live better.
