Renal Dietitian

Jen is a registered dietitian, board certified in renal nutrition. Having worked with the National Kidney Foundation, DaVita, and Fresenius, Jen has the experience with all stages of CKD.

Preventing Kidney Failure

With evidence-based research and proven methods to slow, delay, and even prevent kidney failure.

Individualizing Care

You are a special person with your own needs and goals. CKD cannot put you in a one-size-fits-all category.

Are you...

Just learning you have kidney disease and don’t know what to eat?
Feeling confused, frustrated, and annoyed with conflicting renal diet information online?
Tired of spending countless hours, sleepless nights, wading through endless websites, trying to figure out your best kidney-friendly diet?
Scared to eat delicious, healthy foods like avocados and bananas because you've heard they “hurt your kidneys?”

"My GFR increased from 29 to now 42! My cholesterol decreased from over 300 to now 139. My blood pressure is mostly in the normal range. Jen is so awesome to work with, always professional and caring!"

"My eGFR has gone up over 6 points! I’ve had a significant decrease in creatinine and BUN."

"I lost 25 pounds and still going strong, reduced my blood pressure pills from 6 to 2, am now tapering down antidepressants, BUN dropped from 45 to 18, creatinine from 1.6 to 1.1, hemoglobin into normal range at 11.5 from 10.2, all in about a year of working together."

“My kidney function has doubled under Jen's care to 18% and climbing in 3 months!"

"I found out about my stage 4 CKD and searched for help. With Jen, I was able to maintain my weight following the menu plan. My labs have improved and now appear to be steady at stage 3b. We didn’t know what to do, and now we do."

"By changing the way I eat, I lowered my weight by over 30 pounds, increased my GFR from 21 To 26, and my A1c decreased from 8.9% to 6.5%!"

My Mission

To simplify the nutritional understanding for individuals with chronic kidney disease, and to decrease the prevalence of kidney disease by providing nutrition education including realistic and wholesome lifestyle changes.

As a renal dietitian, I use my training, education and experience to help those with chronic kidney disease find their best kidney-friendly diet so that they can spend less time stressing over keeping their kidney function and get more control of their life!
