How a Nourish dietitian can help manage Kidney Disease

Personalized nutrition plan for kidney disease

Personalized nutrition planning

Oftentimes, people with kidney disease need to adjust their diet and lifestyle to live a longer and healthier life. People with kidney disease often also have diabetes or high blood pressure, so making nutrition changes with a dietitian will benefit your overall health. Renal dietitians can provide more detailed information on what to eat and practical tips to address daily challenges people with renal disease may face.

We offer virtual one-on-one sessions with dietitians to discuss preventative actions that can be taken to address your health concerns. We educate, assess lifestyle changes, help plan your nutrition, and support our clients toward long-lasting success using personalized nutrition counseling.

Convenient, virtual appointments

Avoiding future health complications with kidney disease

Avoiding future complications

When you have kidney disease, it’s important to adjust your diet and lifestyle. If you’re in the early stages of kidney disease, a renal dietitian can help you eat in a way to help slow down the progression of the disease. Additionally, consuming too many minerals like phosphorus or potassium can further contribute to damage to your kidneys and lead to kidney failure.

The payoff you’ll see for adjusting your lifestyle with nutrition counseling will be tremendous for your health. You’re less likely to suffer from a heart condition, kidney failure, and other serious conditions with the proper discipline and determination that we help provide.

Does Nutrition Impact Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?

Practical Dietary Tips for Managing Kidney Disease

The importance of a customized diet plan cannot be overstated for individuals with kidney disease. A one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition simply does not work in this scenario. A kidney disease nutritionist plays a crucial role in developing a customized diet plan that takes into account the individual's specific condition, including their stage of kidney disease, other health conditions, and nutritional needs.

Limit High-Sodium and High-Potassium Foods

Foods to limit or avoid for kidney health include high-sodium processed foods, high-phosphorus foods such as dairy products and certain meats, and high-potassium foods like bananas and potatoes. These foods can contribute to imbalances in the body and worsen kidney function.

Eat Fruits and Vegetables and Lean Protein

On the other hand, a kidney-friendly diet should include nutritious foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables (with careful attention to their potassium content), lean protein sources, whole grains, and healthy fats. It's important to work closely with a kidney disease nutritionist to ensure that the diet is both nourishing and supportive of kidney health.
