Three mistakes you're making when attempting to eat plant-based for kidney health

mardi 29 septembre 2026 • Durée 22:51

Three Mistakes You’re Making When Trying to Eat Plant-Based for Kidney Health

You’ve heard that eating more plant-based foods can support your kidney health, so you’re ready to give it a try. But what does “plant-based” actually mean when you have CKD?

Do you need to become vegan? Should you be cutting back on protein? And how do you know whether the plant-based foods you’re choosing are actually supporting your kidneys?

In this episode of Kidney Nutrition Nuggets, I’m breaking down three common mistakes I see people make when trying to eat more plant-based for kidney health and, more importantly, helping you understand how to approach plant-based eating without turning it into another restrictive kidney diet.

If you’re ready to start putting this into practice, download my FREE Ultimate Guide to Plant-Based Proteins for CKD here. It will help you take what you learned in this episode and begin making realistic plant-forward changes to the way you already eat.

Your Kidney Diet Needs a Plan B: Why Frozen Foods Belong in Your Freezer

mardi 15 septembre 2026 • Durée 30:48

Frozen foods are not off-limits with CKD. In fact, having the right convenience foods available may be one of the best ways to make your kidney-friendly diet easier to maintain long term.

In this episode of Kidney Nutrition Nuggets, I’m breaking down the misconceptions around frozen and processed foods and sharing why I actually encourage my clients to build convenience into their kidney nutrition strategy.

We’ll talk about how frozen foods can add variety, reduce reliance on takeout, save time and energy, and give you a much-needed Plan B for the days when cooking from scratch simply isn’t happening.

I’ll also walk you through what to consider when choosing a frozen meal and how to balance it into a more complete meal that supports your individual kidney health goals. Because the best kidney nutrition strategy isn’t the one that only works when life goes perfectly. It’s the one that still works when life doesn’t.

What to do Before Your Next Lab Draw

mardi 1 septembre 2026 • Durée 30:16

Lab day can be nerve-racking when managing chronic kidney disease. When so much weight is placed on your eGFR, creatinine, potassium, and other kidney labs, it’s natural to want to do everything you can to get the “best” results possible.

In this episode, I’m breaking down five things to consider before and during your next lab draw, including hydration, exercise, fasting, supplements and what happens during the blood draw itself.

We’ll also talk about why pumping your fist can artificially affect your test results, what a hemolyzed sample means, and why creating a consistent lab-day routine can help you and your healthcare team make better decisions about your kidney health.

Because when nutrition recommendations are based on your lab results, we want to make sure we’re working with the best information possible.

Food is Not Medicine

mardi 18 août 2026 • Durée 20:08

"Food is medicine," is one of the most common phrases you'll hear in the nutrition world. But after a chronic kidney disease diagnosis, having this belief around nutrition can change your entire relationship with food.

When every bite becomes a prescription to follow or a mistake to avoid, food starts to lose something important. In this episode, we're talking about why food is so much more than medicine and explore how shifting your mindset can help you build a way of eating that not only supports your kidneys but also supports your life. Because the goal around food isn't to simply eat for your kidneys but is to build a life you actually enjoy living while protecting them.

The Relationship Between Nutrition and eGFR Improvements

mardi 4 août 2026 • Durée 17:53

What is the relationship between nutrition and eGFR improvement?

If chronic kidney disease is considered irreversible, how is it possible for some people to see their eGFR improve after making nutrition and lifestyle changes?

In this episode, you'll learn how creating a healthier environment for your remaining kidney function can help your kidneys work more efficiently and, in some cases, lead to improvements in eGFR.

In this episode, we'll discuss:

What eGFR really measures
Why nutrition can't "bring dead kidney cells back to life"
How nutrition supports the healthy nephrons you still have
Why some people experience improvements in eGFR while others maintain stable kidney function
The real goal of nutrition in chronic kidney disease

Ep. 17 - Are Food Lists Holding You Back?

mardi 21 juillet 2026 • Durée 22:51

If you feel like you're working so hard to eat for your kidneys but still aren't gaining momentum, this episode is for you.

Many people with chronic kidney disease rely on food lists to guide every decision they make. While they may seem helpful at first, food lists often create more confusion, fear, and restriction than confidence.

In this episode, we're talking about why food lists keep you stuck and what to focus on instead if you want to make meaningful progress in protecting your kidney health. You'll learn why a successful kidney diet is about strategy, not memorizing "good" and "bad" foods.

In this episode, you'll learn:

- Why food lists can make eating for kidney disease feel overwhelming

- The biggest problem with labeling foods as simply "allowed" or "avoid"

- How food lists ignore the bigger picture of kidney nutrition

- Why confidence comes from understanding nutrition strategy, not following rules

- How to start making food decisions with purpose instead of fear

- The only food that should be on your 'avoid' list for CKD

If this episode resonated with you, I invite you to join The Undercover Element, a Masterclass designed to completely change the way you think about potassium in chronic kidney disease, help you to move past restrictive food lists, and create momentum in your diet with a potassium management strategy. You'll learn why potassium has become one of the most misunderstood nutrients in kidney nutrition and discover an evidence-based strategy for confidently including potassium-rich foods without unnecessary restriction.
