I’m Heather Smith, a registered dietitian and kidney nutrition specialist with over 25 years of experience. I work with adults who have chronic kidney disease, guiding them in making dietary changes that support kidney health and help them avoid dialysis. I help clients overcome food fears and gain clarity on how to nourish their kidneys with a whole-foods approach. My goal is to empower people with CKD to take control of their health and live well by making informed, sustainable dietary choices so they can stay off dialysis longer.
