Oh, potassium! One of the most misunderstood topics in the kidney disease world. I get hate every time I make a post like this 😅 but it is literally straight from the current nutritional guidelines for kidney disease management (aka the 2020 KDOQI guidelines). I’m not making anything up here & I would certainly never say anything to lead folks astray on an already confusing topic!! As with all things kidney nutrition - daily potassium needs are highly individualized. And you have to realize there are *many* things besides food that impact blood potassium levels. Wanna learn more? I have a free Guide to Potassium in my Facebook group, plus a post on my blog that’s addresses some myths about this important nutrient. Visit either the blog or find me on Facebook (Plant Based Recipes for Healthy Kidneys) to get the details 📲#kidney #kidneys #kidneyhealth #kidneydisease #ckd #ckdstage3 #ckdstage4 #chronickidneydisease #kidneydiet #renaldiet #dietitianapproved #balanceddiet #rdapproved #kidneywarrior #dietitiansofig #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #hypertension #bloodpressure #vegan #veganfood #nutritiontips #nutritionfacts #yourkidneydietitian #kidneydietitian #potassium

As a kidney dietitian, I can't even tell you how many people have told me "I got diagnosed with CKD then got zero help or guidance" or "I was told to just keep doing what I'm doing" .... ... and so, with no help from the doctor, they went online to research anything that could possibly help... ... only to get more confused 😵‍💫 Does this sound familiar at all? If your instinct was to say "really? There's nothing to do or change?" you'd be on the right track!! Because the truth is that nutrition CAN help. But sadly, it's way underutilized. So, sometimes you have to take it upon yourself to explore that option. But that can be confusing and contradictory when you're turning to Doctor Google. Your best bet? Working with a kidney specialist dietitian for a plan 100% personalized to you. If you want to take your health into your own hands and feel confident in being on track with the right plan for your kidneys, you need to be in my 12-Week Nutrition Program. Apply today & either get started in December, or reserve your spot for January.

I was talking to a potential client and she told me “I’m so lost on what to eat with kidney disease... I’m eating barely anything because I'm scared and I keep getting confused about what I'm seeing online about foods and the kidneys”. Can you relate? If this is you you aren’t alone - and if you're fed up with wasting hours of your time and still feeling confused AF, you need a renal dietitian 🙋🏼‍♀️ When you work with me I’ll going to teach you how to feel good about your food choices, eat well, enjoy foods you likes, and stop being afraid of food ❤️ It may be hard to envision right now... but I promise you, the fear and confusion IS going to come to an end. If you are SO FREAKING READY to move past your confusion, feel more confident, and stop stressing about food all the time, my new program The Kidney Vitality Method is for you. Send me a DM for more info - or if you’re ready to take action right now, click link in my bio and apply! #kidney #kidneys #kidneyhealth #kidneydisease #ckd #ckdstage3 #ckdstage4 #chronickidneydisease #kidneydiet #renaldiet #dietitianapproved #balanceddiet #rdapproved #kidneywarrior #dietitiansofig #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #hypertension #bloodpressure #vegan #veganfood #nutritiontips #nutritionfacts #yourkidneydietitian #kidneydietitian

Why people gotta be like that? 🙃🙃🙃 People ALWAYS seem to be ready to offer their opinion on what you're eating. Especially if you're eating in a way that's "different" from how you normally eat. This is something my clients run into when they've started to make diet changes. People frequently think that, as a dietitian, I am also always ready to offer my opinion on their meals! But people are often surprised that as a dietitian I DO NOT CARE what you're eating. If you and me are at dinner together, you can order whatever you want and you won't get a peep from me. Why? Because I'm busy minding my own business. Next time someone offers their commentary on your food, ask them if they'd also like some unsolicited feedback on their meals. That might just be what they need to see how rude and uncalled for it is... Struggling to navigate these kinds of social interactions? I can help. Send me a DM and let's chat, friend! #kidney #kidneys #kidneyhealth #kidneydisease #ckd #ckdstage3 #ckdstage4 #chronickidneydisease #kidneydiet #renaldiet #dietitianapproved #balanceddiet #rdapproved #kidneywarrior #dietitiansofig #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #hypertension #bloodpressure #vegan #veganfood #nutritiontips #nutritionfacts #yourkidneydietitian #kidneydietitian

When people will shell out hundreds of hard earned dollars on sketchy supplements, herbal blends, or products claiming to "cleanse" "heal" or "remove toxins" .... But claim foods like fruits and vegetables are too expensive 🤔 I know why people spend money on those things. They are looking for a fix that works fast. The solution, finally, to their problems. But I guarantee you, if your diet isn't right, those supplements aren't going to do squat to help your kidneys. And in fact, they could even harm you. Please, please be mindful of what you spend your money on. And remember, if an Instagram wellness influencer or doctor or alternative practitioner is the one telling you that you NEED this specific supplement or product to solve your problems, be extremely skeptical. Because your cash is going into their pocket. Invest in your health the right way and start with your diet 💚 #dietitian #nutrition #nutritionist #registereddietitian #registereddietitiannutritionist #rd #nutritioncoach #renaldietitian #kidney #kidneydisease #ckd #ckdstage3 #ckdstage4 #chronickidneydisease #kidneydiet #renaldiet #dietitianapproved #balanceddiet #rdapproved #kidneywarrior #dietitiansofig #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #hypertension #bloodpressure #vegan #veganfood #nutritiontips #nutritionfacts #yourkidneydietitian

When my clients are seeing & FEELING the results >>>>>> Now to be honest, one of the most important parts of what I do with clients is NOT the nutrition education or the meal ideas or the snack ideas... it's the accountability! Working with an expert like me who can provide the pratical education and ALSO hold you accountable and provide support is a game-changer for making long-lasting changes in your life. Could working with an RD be just what you need? If you're thinking about it (even just a tiny bit!!), send me a DM - let's talk about what you're having a hard time with right now and how I can help you reach your goals! #dietitian #nutrition #nutritionist #registereddietitian #registereddietitiannutritionist #rd #nutritioncoach #renaldietitian #kidney #kidneydisease #ckd #ckdstage3 #ckdstage4 #chronickidneydisease #kidneydiet #renaldiet #dietitianapproved #balanceddiet #rdapproved #kidneywarrior #dietitiansofig #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #hypertension #bloodpressure #vegan #veganfood #nutritiontips #nutritionfacts #yourkidneydietitian

Y'all, the internet can be a very helpful source of information, but sometimes the information overload just makes things way more confusing 😵‍💫 I hear this ALL THE TIME from clients. One website says brown rice is good, another says it's bad... one TikTok video says to eat more greens and another says to avoid them. What is a person to do??? Please 🙏 get your information about CKD nutrition from a Registered Dietitian who specializes in kidney disease nutrition. Better, seek out one who is Board Certified in Renal Nutrition 🙋🏼‍♀️ There is a lot of OLD and OUTDATED information about kidney nutrition online and I hate seeing you get confused and scared to eat because you can't make sense of all the contradictions out there. My goal is to always provide accurate, evidence based, and up-to-date information, and you can trust that as an RD I have your best interests at heart - no other agendas. Want to take it a step further and get private 1:1 coaching on managing your CKD nutrition? Send me a DM and let's chat about how you can get started in my program 🌟 Don't waste another day being scared and confused!! I will guide you through it all 😊 #dietitian #nutrition #nutritionist #registereddietitian #rd #healthcoach #nutritioncoach #renaldietitian #kidney #kidneydisease #ckd #ckdstage3 #ckdstage4 #chronickidneydisease #kidneydiet #renaldiet #dietitianapproved #balanceddiet #rdapproved #kidneywarrior #dietitiansofig #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #hypertension #bloodpressure #vegan #veganfood #nutritiontips #nutritionfacts #yourkidneydietitian

Yeah... we've all been here right? 😅 Deciding "I'm going to add more vegetables into my diet" ... and then actually buying those veggies is a great start!! Including more produce in your diet is SO beneficial for the kidneys 🙌 But you also need to have a plan for how you're actually going to use those veggies! Here are some ideas for how: ➕ Look up a recipes that includes what you bought/plan to buy ➕ Chop & prep your veggies in advance so they're easy to add to meals ➕ Buy pre-cut, canned, or frozen veg if they're easier for you to use ➕ Throw some extra veggies into a salad, soup, pasta dish, fajitas, or any meal you're already planning to make Make a pact with yourself now: no more rotting veggies in the back of the crisper drawer! Or at least.. fewer rotting veggies! 😂 It takes time to make change but if you make it a goal & keep it front of mind, I KNOW you can achieve it 😉 #dietitian #nutrition #nutritionist #registereddietitian #registereddietitiannutritionist #rd #nutritioncoach #renaldietitian #kidney #kidneydisease #ckd #ckdstage3 #ckdstage4 #chronickidneydisease #kidneydiet #renaldiet #dietitianapproved #balanceddiet #rdapproved #kidneywarrior #dietitiansofig #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #hypertension #bloodpressure #vegan #veganfood #nutritiontips #nutritionfacts #yourkidneydietitian

You can NOT count on those front of the package marketing gimmicks to give you any useful information about a food item 🙅‍♀️ Always, always, ALWAYS pick it up, turn it around, and read that label, AND the ingredients list!

Which of these four major myths are you struggling to wrap your head around?? Let me know & let’s chat about it! #kidneydisease #yourkidneydietitian #ckd

Anyone else feel like inflation hit the cereal aisle extra hard??

What is it like to meet with a dietitian?? It shouldn’t be scary or make you feel judged. My goal is for you to feel supported, confident, and comfortable 💚

Don’t let the fear of not doing it “right” hold you back from trying a plant-based diet ✨ #dietitian #nutrition #nutritionist #registereddietitian #registereddietitiannutritionist #rd #nutritioncoach #renaldietitian #kidney #kidneydisease #ckd #ckdstage3 #ckdstage4 #chronickidneydisease #kidneydiet #renaldiet #dietitianapproved #balanceddiet #rdapproved #foodie #kidneywarrior #dietitiansofig #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #hypertension #bloodpressure #vegan #veganfood #nutritiontips #nutritionfacts

Always talk to your doctor before starting anything new. K? This goes for any medication, vitamin, or supplement. You need to be certain it will help you, won’t harm you, and ensure you have an understanding of WHY you’ll be taking it 👍 #dietitian #nutrition #nutritionist #registereddietitian #registereddietitiannutritionist #rd #nutritioncoach #renaldietitian #kidney #kidneydisease #ckd #ckdstage3 #ckdstage4 #chronickidneydisease #kidneydiet #renaldiet #dietitianapproved #balanceddiet #rdapproved #kidneywarrior #dietitiansofig #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #hypertension #bloodpressure #vegan #veganfood #nutritiontips #nutritionfacts #yourkidneydietitian

DOCTORS: I am asking you once again to refer your patients to dietitians when they get a new diagnosis of kidney disease rather than leaving them at the mercy of all the outdated and inaccurate information online! PATIENTS: feel free to reach out on your own if your doctor hasn’t referred you to a renal specialist dietitian! ☺️#dietitian #nutrition #nutritionist #registereddietitian #registereddietitiannutritionist #rd #nutritioncoach #renaldietitian #kidney #kidneydisease #ckd #ckdstage3 #ckdstage4 #chronickidneydisease #kidneydiet #renaldiet #dietitianapproved #balanceddiet #rdapproved #yourkidneydietitian #kidneywarrior #dietitiansofig #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #hypertension #bloodpressure #vegan #veganfood #nutritiontips #nutritionfacts
