I am a nutritionist, therefore, I can’t provide your exact personal restriction numbers (though I can give you temporary ones you can adjust until you do receive them).
Common Questions
WHAT IS THE COST?
The cost is quite similar if you were seeing me inside an office setting. However, you're paying the cost of one or two visits instead of the ten that would normally be charged for in office! - Talk about a bargain, huh? The pricing information is on this page.
DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I HAVE MY RESTRICTION NUMBERS BEFORE JOINING?
Absolutely not. We provide temporary numbers you can adjust and follow until you receive your personal numbers. Any change is better than no change!
CAN I JUST JOIN THE CLASSES?
You will need to either purchase the book or enroll in the online nutritional program. All the information we cover in the online classes is in the book/program. You'd be quite lost and confused without the info!
DO I HAVE TO JOIN THE CLASSES?
Joining the classes is not required. Those who learn better with visuals or having someone talk about the information will benefit. The information is quite thorough and you can easily work through on your own. However, there are additional benefits to the members-only group beyond classes. (see the information below)
DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT CLASS SESSION BEGINS TO JOIN?
Absolutely not. You can join anytime. Watch classes that have already been completed, or attend them during the next session. All the information is there for you to work through. I have many clients that only attend classes if they have questions. The information is That thorough!
I BOUGHT THE BOOK AND WANT TO ATTEND THE ONLINE CLASSES; DO I HAVE TO ENROLL IN THE ONLINE PROGRAM TOO? / I AM ENROLLED IN THE ONLINE PROGRAM; DO I HAVE TO BUY THE BOOK TOO?
You EITHER enroll in the online program OR you purchase the book. Both contain the same information.
The online nutritional program comes with a year of members group access. If you purchase the book, you can choose to also purchase the members group access.
WHO ARE YOU?
I’m a Certified Nutritionist specializing in kidney disease, a CKD Chef, and a Kidney Health Coach. But I’m also a caregiver to my husband, who has stage 3 CKD, so I understand firsthand the challenges of managing this condition.
After years of navigating this journey, I’ve not only figured out how to make the kidney diet work, but I’m also the only one who’s come forward to dedicate my time to teaching others how to do the same.
Instead of us sitting in a stuffy office, we are here, online. Where you can work through the information at your own pace and I am available to help you at any time.
My passion is helping you succeed, with real, actionable guidance from someone who truly gets it. (see more on the about page).
WHY ARE YOU CHARGING FOR THIS INFORMATION?
Well, I’m a certified nutritionist specializing in kidney disease, who has cracked the code on CKD eating. Just because I’ve chosen to practice online (so I can actually charge you LESS) doesn’t mean my services shouldn’t be compensated. I’ve spent years perfecting how to tailor kidney diets to individual needs, and I’m offering my program at a fraction of the cost you’d pay to see me in person. Do you ask other professionals why they charge for their services? I’m here to make this affordable, accessible, and to give you real, personalized support.
I prefer working with patients online rather than in an office because it allows me to help, inform, and support you more effectively. The best way for me to guide you is by having you join my CKD nutritional program. It’s like having ten sessions with me, and you get to go through the steps for managing CKD at your own pace and on your own time!
