Kidney Stone Prevention
Kidney stone prevention is not a “one size fits all” solution. It can be difficult to figure out the best approach with all the incorrect and outdated information online. I can help determine the appropriate changes needed based on YOUR lab results and current, research-based medical nutrition therapy.
Initial Appointment
- 60 – 90 minutes
- A one-on-one visit to review your kidney stone history, 24-hour urine test and lab results, and current eating habits. We’ll identify the dietary factors contributing to your stone risk and build a targeted nutrition plan to help prevent future kidney stones.
Follow-Up Appointments
- 30-60 minutes
- A check-in to see how your kidney stone prevention plan is going and make any needed adjustments. We’ll review your recent labs, talk through any challenges with the dietary changes, and fine-tune your plan to keep making progress in reducing your stone risk.
Chronic Kidney Disease Medical Nutrition Therapy
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression can be slowed down with medical nutrition therapy. This can delay or prevent the need for dialysis. Nutrition needs are different for each person based on stage of kidney disease, lab results and medical history. It can be difficult to use the internet for guidance with all the outdated, incorrect and inappropriate information available. I help you determine the appropriate changes needed based on YOUR lab results, kidney function and medical situation using current, research-based medical nutrition therapy.
Initial Appointment
- 60 – 90 minutes
- A thorough review of your kidney function labs, dietary history, lifestyle and current recommendations. We’ll build a kidney-friendly plan that carefully balances protein, potassium, phosphorus, and fluids based on your stage of CKD and overall health picture.
Follow-Up Appointments
- 30-60 minutes
- We’ll discuss any challenges with the dietary changes and adjust your plan as needed based on your most recent labs or medication changes.
Diabetes Medical Nutrition Therapy
It can feel overwhelming to manage blood sugar with food choices. I often hear people with diabetes and kidney disease say that they feel like there is nothing for them to eat. I can help you feel comfortable choosing foods to manage your blood sugars and any other health conditions such as kidney disease using research-based medical nutrition therapy.
Initial Appointment
- 60 – 90 minutes
- A comprehensive visit to assess your eating patterns and lifestyle, blood sugar history, and current medications. We’ll develop a personalized strategy aligned with your diabetes management goals, preferences and care team.

GLP-1 Medication Management
Starting a GLP-1 medication is a significant step, and what you eat matters more than ever. Whether you’re prescribed a GLP-1 for weight management or navigating it alongside an existing health condition, I’ll create a plan that fits your full picture. Learn how to eat well with a smaller appetite – with the right balance of nutrients your body still needs.
Initial Appointment
