Hi, I’m Jess. I’m a renal nutrition expert who is obsessed with advocating for nutrition as a treatment for preserving kidney function.

My passion is helping lift people out of fear of kidney disease and give them a path toward kidney health with the power of nutrition. I believe people have the power to change and every single person that wants to preserve their kidney health can do so with guidance.

​

A little about me: I’m the founder of The Kidney RD. I worked in dialysis for almost ten years before immersing myself in helping people BEFORE dialysis. I heard way too many of my dialysis patients say, “I wish I would’ve known,” and knew I needed to shift my services to a population that was underserved.

Along with kidney health, I love amazing food and sharing amazing food with people. Some of my personal favorites are raspberries, pecans, sweet potatoes, and very fine chocolate. I love to try ethnic food and don’t mind experimenting in my kitchen which can sometimes be to my family's delight or disgust.

​

One of my gifts is inspiring with positive energy. I love to help people see a positive pathway and feel confident in their choices.
