What We Do

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

We work with patients in CKD stages 2 through 5 who are not yet on dialysis. Consultations focus on building a realistic eating plan around the dietary restrictions that come with kidney disease, including protein, potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and fluid intake. The goal is to help patients eat well, protect their kidney function, and feel more in control of their diet.

Diabetes Management

For patients with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, we create individualized nutrition plans focused on blood sugar management, carbohydrate balance, and long-term lifestyle change. Whether someone is newly diagnosed or has been managing diabetes for years, the goal is practical strategies that fit their real life.

Weight Management

We work with patients who need to lose weight for their health. Plans are built around each person's medical history, current medications, and daily habits, with an emphasis on changes that are realistic and can be maintained over time.
