Hi I’m Linda. I am a Chef, Certified Nutritionist and Kidney Health Coach, and Caregiver to my husband who has stage three CKD. I am also a culinary consultant for American Kidney Fund and am the Chef behind their "Ask the Chef" blog.

When we were given my husband’s restriction numbers, we had no freaking clue about foods. He was so terrified to eat that he dropped a pants size in two weeks. Me, being obsessive and desperate to help him, enrolled in culinary school and then went on to learn nutrition.

I began creating luscious kidney friendly recipes and in doing so, I noticed myself repeatedly using the same information. One of the key pieces was knowing the potassium levels in foods.

To help ease things for you, I created this veggie food list that highlights the lowest potassium options. Stick with these to keep those potassium numbers down!

For the love of kidneys,

Linda
