Book A Session
A chronic kidney disease diagnosis often comes with confusing, sometimes conflicting nutrition advice about protein, potassium, phosphorus, and sodium. Natalie Kravat, a Registered Dietitian, helps clients understand exactly what their labs and stage of kidney disease mean for their diet, without unnecessary fear or over-restriction.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
What’s Included in Kidney Disease Coaching
Nutrition needs change significantly depending on your stage of chronic kidney disease and whether you’re on dialysis.

- A full review of labs, kidney disease stage, and current eating patterns
- Clear guidance on protein, potassium, phosphorus, and sodium as they apply to you
- Practical meal ideas that fit your restrictions without feeling impossible
- Coordination-friendly guidance that supports your nephrologist’s recommendations
- Ongoing adjustments as your labs and kidney function change

OUR APPROACH
Managing Protein, Potassium, Phosphorus & Sodium By Stage
Nutrition needs for chronic kidney disease change significantly depending on your stage and whether you’re on dialysis, which is why generic ‘kidney diets’ found online can be misleading or even unhelpful. Sessions translate your specific labs, such as GFR, potassium, and phosphorus levels, into practical guidance, with protein needs in particular adjusted carefully rather than restricted across the board, since under-eating protein can create its own problems in earlier stages of CKD.

Yes. Nutrition needs change once dialysis begins, and sessions are adjusted to reflect your treatment schedule and updated lab values.
Yes. Natalie’s guidance is designed to work alongside your nephrologist’s recommendations, translating your labs and treatment plan into practical, everyday food choices.
Not necessarily. Protein needs depend on your specific stage of kidney disease and whether you’re on dialysis. Under-eating protein can be just as problematic as over-eating it, so your plan is based on your actual labs rather than a blanket restriction.
