Thrive Beyond the Numbers
A 3-part series to help you read your labs with confidence, rewire how you think about food, and take back control of your kidney health — without fear or restriction.
Are you doing everything “right” — cutting salt, eating your veggies, avoiding protein — but your GFR still won’t budge?
Have you been told to “just follow the renal diet,” handed a list of foods to avoid, and left wondering if every bite is hurting your kidneys?
What if you could finally understand what your labs are actually telling you and know how to eat in a way that supports your body, your culture, and your life?
What if food could feel freeing again — and your numbers made sense instead of causing panic?
Thrive Beyond the Numbers isn’t just another CKD webinar or info dump.
It’s a 3-day live program that helps you unlearn the fear-based food rules keeping you stuck and rebuild a way of eating that’s actually based on your labs, your goals, and your real life.
DAY 1
Why Your Doctor’s CKD Nutrition Advice Isn’t Working
(And What To Do Instead)
Uncover the 3 most common myths keeping you stuck and what to do instead.
DAY 2
What Your Labs Are Actually Telling You
(And What You Can Do With Them)
We’ll break down key labs like GFR, BUN, creatinine, and protein markers — in plain English — and connect them to what you actually eat.
DAY 3
Why You’re Still Stuck With a GFR That Won’t Budge
(Even Though You’re Eating Everything “Good”)
Learn why most people stay stuck even when they have the “right info” and how to build a plan that fits your body, not just a list.
HERE’S WHAT’S INCLUDED:
- 3 pre-recorded video lessons
YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH:
The confidence to read your lab results without spiraling
A clear understanding of how GFR, BUN, and creatinine work together and what to do when they change
Real examples of how to adjust protein, hydration, and meals based on your numbers
The freedom to stop fearing food and start eating in a way that feels nourishing, not punishing
The truth about why most CKD advice hasn’t worked for you and what to do instead
HI THERE!
I’m vanessa connolly
Registered Dietitian and your go-to Kidney Nutrition Coach.
I created this program because I’ve seen too many people panic after labs — not because they’re failing, but because no one ever taught them how to actually understand what their labs mean, or how to use them to eat in a way that supports kidney health without fear or restriction.
You deserve to feel confident, supported, and in control again.
Let’s get you there one bite at a time.
