The only way to successfully manage Chronic Kidney Disease.
Developed by Nutritionist and CKD Chef Linda Blaylock
No matter what stage patients are in, they learn safe, individualized CKD eating in only six weeks.
Managing your kidney diet can be overwhelming, with conflicting information and the challenge of adapting to specific dietary needs.
The CKD nutritional program gives patients a clear, individualized approach to managing their kidney diet.
Built on professional culinary and nutrition education and real-life experience, this is the most comprehensive resource available for safely navigating your kidney diet. The nutritional program empowers you to make informed food choices, maintain your quality of life, and manage your condition confidently.
It is available as a comprehensive book or an online course. A percentage of all purchases or enrollments are donated to American Kidney Fund®.
Testimonials show it.
"I learned more in the first class here than I did in an hour and a half with a dietician."
"This is the best information I have received for my kidney disease in the past 30 years. Again, thank you."
"Thanks! You are the only one who is giving out the information that all Kidney patients are looking for."
Hippocrates said, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."
Nothing is more accurate than for chronic kidney disease. The primary treatment is diet, specifically reducing sodium, potassium, and phosphorus, often protein and carbs, and, if the patient is at a late stage or on dialysis, restricting fluids as well.
This presents an immeasurable challenge for patients who complain that they do not receive the help they need from the medical community. The one resource that should be helping, dieticians, is often out of reach because of monetary or geographic issues.
Having traveled this road, Linda has the inside track on the full amount of information and processes needed to navigate this extremely confusing and hard-to-understand diet. Kidney patients benefit in numerous ways, and the top question is resolved quickly—"What can I eat?"
Her patients are raving, and their labs are showing the results. Kidney filtration rates (GFR) are stabilized or improving, patients are reporting their A1C normalizing, and one patient reported that following the method for her husband's kidney disease has also helped to get her diabetes under control.
The program's success stems from its high adaptability. The method can be used for any dietary changes that need to occur. In addition, CKD Culinary Consulting prioritizes patients' success by offering the necessary lifetime support. Patients can access the help they need and secure assistance calls to ensure their ongoing success.
The How to Eat for CKD Method™ Nutrition Program (Complete Program Book) is streamlined to utilize the quickest path to getting patients eating safely. This format also follows the online class process. Patients will begin eating safely on day one and continue to build a customized meal plan to fit their specific needs, including all health issues and family needs. They will be supplied with clear and extensive information and the process, leading them to a satisfying and enjoyable lifelong kidney lifestyle.
CKDelicious!™ Cookbook allows patients to use the techniques from the program in combination with the cookbook to enjoy amazing meals they can adjust to their specific needs.
CKD Culinary Consulting was started by Linda Blaylock in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 2020. The then-budding entrepreneur saw a need for a clear, reliable method to free kidney patients from their confusion, show them how to have their favorite foods, more variety, and a simplified process to successfully implement those dietary changes for life.
After her husband's diagnosis, they struggled with his diet, and he despised being told he could not have foods the foods he treasured. This sparked a determination in her to figure out how to allow him to have them once again. She truly believed there had to be a way to work with any food, and she was right.
Linda is a Chef honors graduate of Aguste Escoffier Culinary School. ISSA® an ISSA®-Certified Nutritionist, Certified Kidney Health Coach, Author, Educational Instructor, and caregiver to her husband with stage 3 kidney disease.
She was a culinary consultant for American Kidney Fund®, and many of her recipes are available on their Kidney Kitchen® website; she also provided many cooking demos, webinars, and educational content for their blog.
She has done informational webinars and cooking demonstrations for American Kidney Fund® and National Kidney Foundation®. She has been in Culinary Entrepreneurs® magazine and has worked with dieticians to further clients' kidney diet success.
She has also taught educational classes in her local area, oversees three online support groups, and does informational guest spots and cooking demonstrations for medical professionals wanting to learn more about the method and recommend it to patients.
Her cookbook, CKDelicious!™, is available on Amazon.
