​

Hi Adam,

​

Thank you so much to everyone who joined our CKD nutrition class live!

We hope the session helped bring a little more clarity to a topic that often feels confusing and overwhelming. And thank you especially for all the great questions — they’re a big part of what makes these sessions so valuable.

Quick note: due to high demand, our first CKD nutrition class filled up quickly.
To make sure more people can join live, we’ve added an extra session (details below).

If there’s a core message we hope really landed, it’s this:

Pick more plants and stick with whole foods.

So much kidney nutrition advice focuses on what to avoid — but without context, that can lead to unnecessary fear, missed nutritional benefits, and frustration.

The plant-dominant (PLADO) approach gives you more flexibility because it is not strictly vegan. So yes, you can still have some eggs for breakfast, a slice of cheese on your sandwich and occasionally some chicken with dinner. The key is to load it up with plants. What this means:

→ If you’re having your eggs for breakfast, make sure to load it with peppers or onions, or have a cup of berries on the side.

→ If you’re having a cheese sandwich, serve it with a side salad or pack along hummus and baby carrots.

→ If you’re planning to have meat, keep portion sizes to 2oz or less (and this really depends on your protein needs!), and we often recommend keeping meat as a condiment. For instance, chicken can be sliced or shredded as topping to a hearty vegetable stir fry. Fish can be gently flaked and tossed through a Mediterranean-style pasta dish.

If you weren’t able to attend the earlier session, don’t worry — we’re hosting another live class in the evening to make it easier for more people to join.
