Your Instructor
Jessianna Saville, MS, RDN, LD, CLT
Jessianna Saville is a renal dietitian training by trade and currently owns and runs Kidney Nutrition Institute. She has been in private practice for the last 10 years. She considers her work running a business to be the most difficult, most expensive, but best education she has ever had. Her work focuses on utilizing conventional and holistic nutrition to get the best outcomes for patients with CKD. The dietitians in her practice remain on the cutting-edge of therapies having pioneered a plant-focused ketogenic approach for PKD and diabetic CKD, elimination diet protocols for autoimmune CKD, and very low protein diets with ketoanalogues for those with late stage CKD.
She is a proud graduate of Utah State University dietetics program and holds a masters in healthcare management from Marymount University. Her favorite thing to do professionally is speak for large groups and interact with and mentor renal dietitians (who she thinks are the smartest, most compassionate group of professionals she has met). Outside of renal work she loves to spend time running on trails near her Florida home, raising her chickens, learning new songs on the piano, playing with her 3 children – preferably outside (but she also considers herself a hide-and-go-seek expert), and finding new experiences throughout the United States.
