Hi! I’m vanessa, your kidney nutrition coach
I’m a Maryland native (crab cakes and football, baby!! 🏈), now living the Lowcountry life in South Carolina, and I’ve helped hundreds of clients just like you improve their GFR levels and kidney function – all without giving up their favorite foods.
Optimizing your kidney function and eating a nutritious diet that doesn’t cut out your favorite foods are two things that you won’t often hear in the same sentence… especially from your Nephrologist. But I’m here to tell you that not only can you accomplish both of those things to slow down kidney disease or prevent dialysis… but you can do them while living a life you love.
THE DETAILS
Thrive Kidney Method
is a self-paced course designed to hand you (and your kidneys!) the tools you need so you know what and how to eat for CKD.
Wouldn’t it be nice to go into your fridge and know exactly which snack to grab that won’t ruin your bloodwork? It’s time to take the confusion out of the kitchen and easily improve your GFR with a complete framework designed to support your kidney health and get the right results in your kidney numbers.
THIS program is for you if:
- You feel frustrated and overwhelmed when you think about planning meals because you can’t seem to balance foods that you WANT to eat with foods you SHOULD eat.
- You know that your current plan of guessing which foods will work and hoping for the best, only to be filled with dread when you need to go for a checkup is not working anymore.
- Every time you think you’re eating something that’ll help your kidney function, it doesn’t seem to work and leaves you feeling more frustrated and hopeless than when you started.
- You beat yourself up and tell yourself you’ve failed when you indulge in foods like cheese or nuts because you don’t think you can eat any foods you enjoy while also improving your kidney numbers.
- You spend more hours than you can count searching Dr. Google for an answer, trying to sift through information that ultimately leaves you overwhelmed, confused and more hopeless than when you started.



What’s included
This isn’t your doctor’s nutrition handout.

- 12 weeks of self-paced evidenced based lessons designed to help you revamp your eating habits so you’re still enjoying your favorite foods while improving your kidney function.
- Plug-and-play kidney friendly meal blueprint that teaches you exactly how to create a kidney friendly meal that’ll help to slow down CKD and prevent or delay dialysis.
Do you believe that you can go from hopelessly thinking “I have no clue what to eat” to actually feeling satisfied and screaming from the rooftops “I can’t believe I was actually allowed to eat that”?!
Inside of Thrive Kidney Method, we’ll make that happen.
The self-paced lessons in Thrive Kidney Method are designed to help you understand what your body needs to balance that with what your soul wants! (They don’t call those goodies soul food for nothing!)
