Self-Study Course Now Available

ENROLL NOW!

16.5 Credit Online Course

Chronic Kidney Disease MNT and Nutrition Business Basics

Comprehensive online program for immersion into the world of CKD nutrition therapy. Connect with experts, dive into research, receive practical therapy guidelines, and learn business basics for success.

Confidence, Organization, No Confusion!

Do you want to see clients with earlier stage CKD? Want to help people avoid dialysis? Expand your renal nutrition knowledge base past dialysis? Work with highly motivated clients hungry for your expertise and guidance? Finally be able to coordinate with your nephrologist who has been begging you to see a few of his patients? And get PAID to do it?

Nutrition therapy for CKD is a BIG deal for people with CKD. Patients want the information and know it can help them fight their kidney disease. BUT - way too often clients can’t find RDs with renal expertise. Patients piece together their diet from basic hospital guidelines, general practitioners, the internet, and their friends. They are left confused and scared. Dietitians with renal expertise are desperately needed to address the growing epidemic of CKD and be the light and guide that patients need to avoid dialysis.

Starting a business, working with nephrologists, and becoming the go-to renal nutrition expert outside of the dialysis clinic doesn’t have to be overwhelming or complex.

Hi, my name is Jessianna. I am a lover of all things renal nutrition - research, recipes, counseling, etc...! I believe renal dietitians are meant to be powerful influencers in the world of kidney health. Nutrition is absolutely paramount to slow the epidemic of kidney disease and help people live stay off of dialysis. Renal dietitians are the best resources to make nutrition therapy a reality for thousands of people. I've had plenty of "Oops and Ah-ha!" moments while starting my own practice. I've learned lots of great lessons along the way to make nutrition therapy for CKD successful. I want to share these lessons so renal dietitians can feel empowered by the many possibilities at their talented fingertips to make a difference with CKD.

With over 14 years of experience in the Nutrition & Wellness field, I have specialized in kidney disease & diabetes. I have both Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees in Nutrition Science from Brooklyn College and completed my Dietetic Internship at LIU.  I've always enjoyed being engaged with the RD community and renal community. Past leadership positions include President of the Long Island Dietetic Association, Chair of the Greater NY Council on Renal Nutrition, and currently Vice-president of For Kidney Sake, inc. My passion is to help dietitians extend their reach to the community and there is no area that needs more help than the CKD population. I've taken my lumps in the private practice and insurance world and am excited to share what I've learned to save you time and many headaches as you start your practice or streamline your already growing business.

Hi, I'm Lindsey. I've been studying nutrition and health since...well, my mom grew an herb garden and taught me to read food labels before the age of 10. Over the past 10 years, I've come to love working in renal nutrition and enjoy finding ways to blend a holistic upbringing with conventional training to help my patients on dialysis as well as those with stage 3-5 CKD. I love being a renal dietitian. Some days can be challenging because our patients have such complex issues to work with, but as we embrace new ideas and opportunities, dietitians are uniquely poised to make significant differences in the lives of those suffering from kidney disease.

FAQs

What if I can't make the live course times? Expand

We know you are busy! Courses will be recorded so you can still get all the same great content whenever is convenient for you.

How long will the courses be available after the launch date? Expand

You will have lifetime access to the 2018 courses. To obtain the CPE credit, you will need to complete the course within a year of the launch date (CDR rule).

How do I get the CPE credit? Expand

Upon completion of each course certificates are automatically e-mailed.

What if I only work in dialysis? Will the information still be relevant for me? Expand

The courses are primarily geared toward earlier stage kidney disease. However, in the Functional/Integrative Course we will be taking a deep dive into the importance of gut health and supplements. Both of these topics we feel apply to any stage of kidney disease and are the source of many questions.

What if I don't like the course? Expand

I hope you'll love the course! But, if for any reason you find that it isn't providing you with the information you hoped, you can contact me within 30 days of the course start date and I'll refund your money.

How do I "attend" the meeting? Expand

I use the platform "Teachable" to host all the course curriculum. You'll receive an email the week before, day before, and day of the course with instructions on how to attend the live recording. Otherwise, you just login to your student account and all the course content (including the live recording)will be available within 24-48 hours after the class if completed. You can work on the course at your own pace, during downtime at the dialysis unit, in your pajamas at home, or with your favorite furry friend by your side.
