Plant-Powered Kidney Nutrition: Proven Methods and Easy Recipes to Support Your Kidney Health
Discover how the right nutrition can help protect your kidneys, improve your lab results, and give you the confidence to enjoy food again.
If you’ve been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD), you may feel overwhelmed, fearful, and unsure of what to eat. For many people, the advice from doctors and online sources can be confusing...sometimes even contradictory. The good news is that food really does matter, and with the right knowledge, you can take meaningful steps to support your kidney health.
Plant-Powered Kidney Nutrition is your clear, evidence-based guide to understanding how nutrition impacts your kidneys and how to make practical, delicious choices every day. Written by Jen Hernandez, RDN, CSR, LDN, a registered dietitian specializing in kidney nutrition and founder of Plant-Powered Kidneys, this book translates complex science into simple strategies that you can confidently use at the grocery store, in the kitchen, and at the dinner table.
Inside, you’ll
The essentials of kidney nutrition—made simple. Learn how protein, potassium, sodium, and phosphorus actually affect kidney function, and why balance—not fear—is the key.
A stage-based approach. Whether you are in stage 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (not on dialysis), you’ll find guidance tailored to your needs so you can protect kidney function as long as possible.
Practical tools and resources. Meal planning tips, food lists, and portion guides give you the structure you need without the overwhelm.
Real-life patient success stories. See how others with CKD have improved their labs, reduced stress, and even regained kidney function by making realistic dietary changes.
Recipes and food inspiration. Discover how to enjoy more plant-based meals—without giving up the flavors and traditions you love or spending hours upon hours in the kitchen.
This book goes beyond “eat this, not that.” It shows you how
Build confidence when talking with your doctor about labs and treatment options
Separate fact from fear when it comes to nutrients like potassium and protein
Reduce the stress of “kidney diet confusion” by focusing on what matters most
