KidneyIntel

KidneyIntel and the Kidney Essentials Program were created to help patients understand and better manage their kidney disease and nutrition. With education and support you can live and eat with confidence.

Living with chronic kidney disease can be incredibly challenging and the journey is often fraught with fear, confusion, and conflicting nutrition advice.

The Kidney Essentials Program was developed after working with hundreds of chronic kidney disease patients who:

  • Are terrified to eat for fear of further damaging their kidneys

  • Have the burden of so many dietary restrictions, it has taken the joy out of eating

  • Receive conflicting dietary advice from their healthcare provider(s) creating a sense of confusion and despair

  • Feel having chronic kidney disease has ended a “normal life,” especially when faced with the possibility of starting dialysis

You do not have to feel this way

Our evidence-based approach helps you to understand your kidney disease and your nutrition, so you can live and eat with confidence, in hopes of slowing down the progression of your disease. Just because you have chronic kidney disease doesn’t mean that you need to follow a “renal diet.” Your nutrition recommendations are based on YOUR current blood lab results.

Most people with chronic kidney disease don’t receive the nutrition guidance they need. The “renal diet” is very confusing because there is no single renal diet.

Imagine

  • No more Googling every single food you want to eat

  • No more living in fear that the foods you are eating will cause further kidney damage
  • Getting more variety in your food choices, and realize food can still be enjoyable
  • Understanding your blood lab tests to determine your food choices

Kidney Essentials Testimonials

Managing CKD requires daily discipline and can become a struggle unless you are equipped with the tools to deal with it. Attending the Kidney Essentials program gave me the basic nutritional tools which set me on a path to taking control of my condition. I cannot fully express my gratitude to Terrie for putting this program together. It can be a life changer!
