My doctor was so happy today, I’ve never seen him that happy! I did what you told me when you told me to. I still can eat my favorite foods and my eGFR number went up, my potassium and cholesterol are good, and my A1C went down to normal. I am so happy! I told him I had some help and gave him your name. Thank you!

Let's break this down for you...
Over the course of the full program, you will learn:
BASIC ESSENTIALS (BASICS):
about the major nutrient players in CKD, you know 'em... potassium, phosphorus, sodium, protein, carbs, and we talk about fluid intake too.
general nutrient guidelines to follow until specific, personalized restriction numbers are received. Not everyone has their specific numbers so we help you out in the mean time.
tips to lower creatinine, cos we get asked this a lot!
all the various food groups, and many more that you haven't considered, but need to be. Not kidding. Foods you haven't thought about. like yeast.... who really thinks about the nutritional value of yeast?? um... WE do! And now you are going to know too.
how to use the comprehensive, categorized food reference sheets for quick and easy food choices and substitutions (over 25 food topics covered). This is a huge component. Ya can't execute a safe and simplified kidney diet if you don't have all the information you need.
nearly impossible to find insider tips and information that most people don't know, but help to ease the stresses of CKD eating. My mind was blown when I discovered these gold nuggets. A huge sigh of relief was had. Now I want to whisper them to you too!
the best resources to find accurate nutritional information for ingredients and products. Ya hafta know where to look. It took years of digging but, we found them!
how to create personal substitute food lists for quick, safe, and reliable ingredient swaps. There is no way you are going to like every food that someone else does so why use someone else's list? Let's get you your own.
revelations of new and different food options not previously considered. Sadly, people really believe they have to avoid foods or stick to a small set. Um.... nooooo. You have more options than ever before!
how to work the method for Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten Free, Lower Carb, and Non-dairy too. It's crazy how easily this can be done. You just need to be woke to the process.
bonus materials on additional health concerns like keeping blood sugar up, gout, and more.
access to the client only Basics Workshop Facebook group, with weekly coaching calls. We know you need support and help so we're there for you.
PROVEN INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES (PRO):
how to combine all dietary requirements stemming from other health issues. Most people are dealing with additional health problems, and if you have CKD, it is nearly a guarantee that a new one will show up. We show you how to easily manage that with a few shifts, tweaks, and quick adjustments. No sweat, no worries.
how to calculate nutrients and find missing nutrient amounts. You need to know what's in foods you're eating, right? if it isn't showing on the label, we can show you how to easily figure it out.
how to calculate nutritional information for recipes. If you want to learn the manual process or if you want to use an app, that's fine. Either way, when you make any change to a recipe, like switching out an ingredient, let's make sure you have this tool in your kit so you know how to determine the new nutritional amounts and assure you are within your needs.
decoding nutrition labels and what ingredients to watch for (plus the guideline numbers to look for). We love giving out cheat sheets and guidelines, it just makes things so crazy easy for you. Plus we tell you what things to keep an eye out for too.
how to calculate your personalized base guideline meal and snack numbers, guaranteeing you safely leave room for those snacks and desserts. You cannot safely choose recipes to use, or even create recipes, if you don't know how much you can have per meal of each of those nutrients you must monitor. This is a huge, huge key to making sure you are keeping your kidneys smiling.
how to shift those numbers and adjust meals when outside of their normal routine, like a family gathering or holidays. It happens; we all have our cheat days so, let us show you how to super easily prepare for and enjoy them.
how to accurately menu plan to eliminate the daily food tracking. Nobody wants to log every morsel they put in their hungry little mouths, right? So, you learn how easy it is to make a plan and only do that foodie tracking once per week. That's it!
how to easily work within any budget. Do I really need to say why we cover this one?
how to swap out ingredients quickly and easily for allergens, dislikes, and/or dietary preferences. Do you love those brussel sprouts? broccoli? oh... how about those lima beans? no?? well, you need to know how to swap those out of a recipe and switch in something different, but do so in safe amounts. It's a super easy and quick process, under 2 minutes using the extensive lists we supply you!
how to tally a weekly menu and make quick changes to adhere to restrictions. Yep, we supply you with every single thing to simplify this process and we share our tips on how to really make this work smoothly, and without crazy confusion.

how to investigate and find the best products for CKD, and blow that "cooking from scratch" myth out of the water. Yeah, love this one cos so many people think you now have to cook from scratch. Um, not true! I can show you how to use as many work-arounds as possible and what the top products are.
how to be a detective when shopping, and how to shop quickly and effectively. Yep, we also show you how to find the best stuff, where to look, who to ask, and how to do it all super sleek-y like. No more hours on end in the grocery store and having your ice cream dripping on the floor.
