Lindsey is extremely knowledgeable and experienced with pre-dialysis kidney patients. She guided me through a difficult process that was all new to me with great skill and kindness.

Comprehensive approach by experienced board-certified renal dietitians focused on keeping patients out of dialysis.

Cassandra was very prepared for our session and shared personalized information with me to help me start my plan. She was specific in her recommendations and in her explanations, and is clearly very enthusiastic about her mission! She was compassionate, easy to talk to, professional and articulate. I definitely felt that she cared about my health with specific focus on what is best for me, given my labs, background, and general health.

I found the concrete guidance in improving my diet to save kidney function so valuable. Jessica is knowledgeable and responds to my questions and evolving dietary changes. She helped me know my best food options, in what amounts, and helped with my weight management . I was already primarily plant based but now I understand the finer nutritional aspects of the foods I eat. Jessica is the best health care support I have come across in many years. She is so easy to communicate with and thoughtful about recommendations. I definitely feel seen as an individual and supported in addressing my CKD proactively.

Lindsey was easy to access, informative, very helpful, and took her time answering every question I had. She was great to work with! Thank you Lindsey for everything! Regina B.

"I was instructed by my Renal Dr. to reach out and find a Renal dietitian to help me overcome my issues with proteinuria/GFR. I've been a competitive bodybuilder/personal trainer for over 10 yrs. I've worked with many so called "nutritionists" over the years. Jess is by far the most proactive, responsive, and understanding dietitian I've ever worked with.

Jessica is supportive, insightful, and clearly up to date on the latest developments in diet support for kidney function. She is always thinking of the client uniquely as to their health needs and how to balance and preserve kidney function better through diet. I feel Jessica cares about my health and I appreciate the guidance I received. I am very glad to have connected with Jessica and the lessons learned will be long term. Marina T.

Lindsey provided SPECIFICS on what I needed to do. She absolutely cared! She went over every detail and gave me lots of great handouts, too. Meeting with Lindsey was very convenient, since it was via Zoom. I definitely got my money's worth in this comprehensive nutrition approach. I would definitely recommend Kidney Nutrition Institute. I have told several people already.

Lindsey really cares. I feel she is living with us in this situation. She has a comprehensive whole approach and the unlimited access for advice. The combination of the online sessions with the "better" application, is perfect, It is what makes me feel that I have 24 hour support. Anonymous, Saudi Arabia

Before working with Amy I struggled with how to balance eating that would be appropriate for my CKD, combined with my osteoporosis and trying to avoid going downhill. I felt comfortable with Amy, including being able to ask a variety of questions, and trusting her answers. I felt I was hearing from someone who is staying up to date on medical knowledge regarding the kidneys. Julie S. Bend, Oregon

Amy cares and has been a partner in my approach to eating. She always took her time and made many useful, targeted, and personalized suggestions. Before working with Amy, I needed a lot of help in choosing food. Emotionally, facing CKD alone was scary. I'm not afraid anymore; I am confident in taking good care of my kidneys. My labs are stable and I have clarity around plant-based eating. I would recommend Amy Harshman and the Kidney Nutrition Institute without any hesitation. Susan S. Alexandria, VA

The most important thing I learned from Lindsey was general information about my disease. Going over my labs with her taught me a lot and I feel more prepared for the future choosing foods to help my CKD. What immediately drew me to Lindsey was that you can tell she actually really cares about her clients. She has taught me so much and I could not have prolonged staying off dialysis if it weren't for her. I have recommended Lindsey Zirker and Kidney Nutrition Institute in my CKD groups.

Jessica is a delight to work with. She is kind, has a positive and helpful attitude, and wants to help me be successful in managing my CKD. She goes the extra mile to find solutions to issues with iron, etc. I feel she is there for me and does her best to help me manage my health. Jessica helped me realize I could still enjoy my favorite foods and manage my health. Jessica has shared wonderful resources with me for recipes and given me suggestions for foods to include, such as roasted spaghetti squash. She is a wealth of knowledge and I look forward to my interactions with her. Jessica is very thorough in her approach to my dietary care and takes her time.

"Jess was able to affirm that what I was doing on my own was basically correct and offer some creative alternatives to make it better. Whether you are a new CKD'er or a seasoned kidney patient in a quandary about what you can actually eat, Jess can provide a diet tune-up or point you in the right direction to get started to help you help yourself. Most CKD patients are told to see a renal dietitian and Jess is a good one!" L.R. Bryan

I began working with Jessica at KNI because I was diagnosed with CKD and was confused about what I should and should not eat. I also had IBS issues. I had great results working with Jessica. She is kind, sensitive, and caring. She was so willing to answer all my questions and provide me with eating plans and delicious recipes. Though Kidney Nutrition Institute recommended tests, dietary changes, and supplements not only has my GFR improved, my IBS symptoms have too, and I continue to feel better all the time. Many thanks to Jessica at Kidney Nutrition Institute! M.W.

I couldn't wait to tell Amy about my lab results [after working with her]! My GFR improved from 48 to 54, my creatinine went down to 1.06 to 1.16 and my BUN went down to 25 from 29! Susan P.

I would definitely recommend- I have told several people already. I am so glad I found KNI and consider them to be Top Notch in the field of renal dieticians. I feel great, have tons of energy, enjoying delicious food, and my lab results are amazing! Jan C.
