The information contained in this course is generalized and based on the latest guidelines and practice points from expert organizations like KDIGO and KDOQI.  No fad diets, extreme challenges or "nutrition-maxing" are promoted here, instead expect practical advice fit for the majority of those with CKD. Empower yourself with the knowledge to manage CKD effectively.  Take the first step towards a healthier future by enrolling today and having a little fun with me, Kidney Kat!

About the Creator

I’m Katherine Ambrose-Miyade, RD, CSR, LDN, but, please, just call me 'Kidney Kat'.   Proudly, I have 20+ years of experience as a dietitian, 10+ years of experience working with dialysis-dependent CKD patients, and 1 amazing specialist certification in renal nutrition.  I created this video course because I believe a person's health journey shouldn’t be a mystery and education doesn't work if it's boring!  I’m a bit of a goofball, but I’m serious about helping folks navigate life with chronic kidney disease. FYI, the image of me with the fruit bowl is AI generated.  I wish I looked that young!
