Kidney nutrition that fits the rest of your life
Chronic kidney disease and kidney stone care with a Registered Dietitian, in Wilmington, North Carolina and by telehealth. Most insurance accepted.
Being told what to avoid is not a plan
If you have kidney disease, you have probably been handed a list.
Less sodium. Watch the potassium. Careful with phosphorus.
Maybe protein, maybe not, depending on which appointment you are remembering.
What almost nobody gives you is the other half: what to eat instead, how to make it taste like food, and how to keep it up on a week when everything is on fire.
Kidney nutrition is also genuinely complicated, and it changes. Your needs at stage 2 are not your needs at stage 4.
Guidance shifts with your labs, your medications, and whether you have other conditions in the mix. Advice that was right for you two years ago may not be right now, and generic advice from the internet may never have been right at all.
What we work on together
Chronic kidney disease
-
Sodium, potassium, and phosphorus, adjusted to your actual labs rather than a printed handout
-
Protein needs, which are frequently misunderstood and often set too low
-
Eating well alongside diabetes or high blood pressure, since most people have more than one thing going on
-
Reading a food label for the things that matter to your kidneys
-
What changes if you are approaching dialysis, and what does not
Kidney stones
-
Which stone type you form, and why it changes everything that follows
-
Oxalate, calcium, and the widespread and incorrect advice to cut calcium out
-
Fluid targets you will actually hit, rather than a number you will resent
-
Sodium, animal protein, and the handful of changes that carry most of the benefit
-
What to do after a stone, so the next one is less likely
Working alongside your medical team
If you have a nephrologist or urologist, I coordinate with them.
That means reviewing your labs as they change, staying inside the plan your physician has set, and sending notes back when it is useful.
You should never have to be the messenger between two providers who have not spoken.

2
We spend the first session listening
Your history, your labs, your schedule, what you actually eat, and what has already failed you.

You get a plan you can follow
Not a meal plan you will abandon. Specific, small, and built around the life you already have.
