Do you struggle planning meals for the week to support your kidney health?
Do you get stressed the second you step into the grocery store knowing your CKD diagnosis is getting in the way of your weekly shopping trip?
Do you wish you had a supportive community and clear guidance on figuring out which foods will best support your kidney health so grocery shopping and creating feels 10x easier?
Do you have CKD, you’ve been told to watch potassium, sodium & phosphorus…and somehow that STILL hasn’t answered the question you actually have?
“What the heck am I supposed to put on my plate?”
Maybe you’ve bought the foods you think you’re “supposed” to eat…
but you’re still standing in the kitchen trying to figure out what actually turns into breakfast, lunch & dinner.
Maybe you’re walking through the grocery store checking labels, second-guessing foods you used to eat without thinking twice & wondering if you’re buying the “wrong” thing.
And maybe you’re tired of every new piece of CKD advice giving you another food to question instead of helping you build an actual meal.
If that sounds familiar, The Kidney Plate Reset was made for you.
The Kidney Plate Reset Challenge
5 days of simple, kidney-supportive meal challenges to help you build a plate that makes sense for YOUR kidneys – without turning every meal into another list of foods you can’t eat.
September 14 – 18
In The Kidney Plate Reset 5-day challenge, you’ll learn exactly how to build and balance your meals to support better kidney health without confusion, overwhelm, or eating bland food.
You will learn simple, actionable steps to help you confidently plan meals that protect your kidney function and discover what to add to your plate (and what to ease off), how to create a grocery list with purpose, and how to make food choices that feel good and taste great.
This chALLENGE is for you if…
Planning meals is the bane of your existence and gives you a headache just thinking about it.
You’re constantly worried about eating too much potassium, sodium and phosphorus and it’s taken over your life.
You know you have to change your eating habits so you get exactly what your body needs but you have no idea where to start and it’s about to make your head spin.
You’re scrolling hours on Instagram and TikTok hoping to get diet advice that actually works but now you’re more overwhelmed at the rabbit hole of conflicting information.
DAY 1
Build Your Kidney-Friendly Plate
You’ll learn how to start building a meal with plants, carbs, protein + fats without staring at your plate wondering if you’re doing it “right.”
By the end of the day, you’ll actually build your own plate and see how the pieces come together.
DAY 2
Power Up with Plant Foods
You’ll look at where you can bring more fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans, nuts + seeds onto your plate without assuming potassium means they all need to disappear.
Your challenge: add 2+ colorful plant foods to a meal and show us what you created.
DAY 3
Pick Your Protein Wisely
You’ve probably heard “limit protein.”
Cool…how much? From what foods? And what does that look like at breakfast, lunch + dinner?
We’ll get into choosing + portioning plant and animal proteins so you have something more useful than “don’t eat too much.”
DAY 4
Put Your Day Together
Now we take what you’ve been learning and turn it into breakfast, lunch, dinner + a snack for one actual day.
You’ll use foods you like, what you already have + what your day realistically looks like to build something you could actually eat.
DAY 5
Build Your Grocery List
This is where your meals become your shopping list.
You’ll choose foods for 3 meals + 2 snacks so you’re not walking through the store grabbing random “kidney-friendly” foods and hoping they somehow turn into dinner.
By the end, you’ll have a list built around food you actually plan to eat.
By the end of the 5 days, I want you to be able to…
Look at a meal and know how to start building the plate instead of wondering if every ingredient is “okay.”
Add more plants without assuming potassium means they all need to come off your plate.
Have a better idea of what protein can look like across your day instead of just hearing “limit protein.”
Put together breakfast, lunch, dinner + a snack using foods you actually like.
Walk into the grocery store with a list built around actual meals…not random foods you hope are “kidney-friendly.”
So eating with CKD starts to feel less like a daily guessing game and more like something you can actually DO.
The Challenge Includes:
10 – 15 minute daily video trainings
One lesson each day so you can learn what you need without spending an hour watching another training.
A simple daily challenge
You’ll take what you learned and actually use it with your own meals…building a plate, adding plants, looking at your protein, putting together a day of meals + creating your grocery list.
Daily workbook pages + handouts
Something you can come back to when you’re planning meals or need a reminder of what we covered.
Access to our private challenge community
Share your meals, ask questions, see what everyone else is putting together + get support from me throughout the challenge.
Prizes for participating 🎉
Including gift cards + special savings on the next round of Thrive Kidney Method.
You don’t need to completely overhaul your kitchen or spend hours doing homework every day. We’re taking one piece at a time and putting it into practice with food you can actually eat.

HI THERE!
I’m vanessa connolly
Registered Dietitian specializing in personalized nutrition support for Stage 3-5 CKD.
I’ve made it my mission to help you figure out what to eat without feeling like every new lab result or piece of diet advice means another food has to come off your plate.
Behind the mom vibes, plant obsession, and hot almond milk lattes with a splash of lavender, I’m deeply passionate about helping you understand what your kidneys may need from you, make changes to what you’re actually eating & feel like you can finally DO something with all the CKD information you’ve been given.
Because you can know you’re supposed to watch sodium, potassium, phosphorus + protein…
and still have no idea what to make for dinner. 😂
Inside The Kidney Plate Reset Challenge, I’ll show you how to start putting that information onto an actual plate…then turn that plate into meals + a grocery list you can use in real life.
We’re starting with one plate, one meal & one day at a time.
