Without Giving Up the Foods You Love
You’re confused about what you can and can’t eat
Your labs don’t make sense, and no one’s explained them
Google is only making things worse
You feel like food has become the enemy
You’ve Been Diagnosed With CKD… Now What?
You got a handout. Maybe a list of foods to avoid. And a lot of fear.
But what you didn’t get? Real support. A plan that works. Someone to guide you through the overwhelm.
Sound familiar?
You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

JoAnna Williams, RDN – Lead CKD Dietitian, Private Coaching Program
My name is Kellsey Reed and I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who has spent the last 9 years working exclusively with people with CKD to help them eat confidently to protect their kidneys, improve their labs and live their best life with CKD.
Before that I was a dialysis dietitian - watching patients arrive every single day who had never received any real personalized nutrition guidance. They were handed a list and sent home, asking: "Why did nobody tell me this sooner?" They kept asking why their doctors never told them that their diet could help them slow the progression of their CKD.
That question is why I left the dialysis center. That question is why I built this practice - because nobody should have to end up on dialysis wondering why nobody gave them real guidance when it could have made a difference.
Over the last 6 years, my team and I have helped over 400 people with CKD learn to eat to protect their kidneys. 87% of our clients have seen improvements in their lab results - including eGFR, BUN, creatinine, and more.

Support That Fits Your Life
- Past client
It’s the support and crucial guidance. I’ve cried and laughed with Kellsey. I’ve learned so much about nutrition and CKD. I’m eating foods I’ve written off as bad or harmful. Foods I love! This has been life changing for me. My labs improved. My weight is down. I’m feeling great!
"This has been life changing for me."
- Past client
Kellsey herself was the best part of the program. She was so informative and encouraging. Any difficulties I was experiencing she helped find a way to circumvent the problem. Each phone session was not only a conversation about kidney disease itself but also how other life situations can impact and be dealt with when you are living with this disease. Kellsey never rushes you, always supportive and is a very sweet person.
"Kellsey herself was the best part of the program."
- Past client
I would highly recommend working with Kellsey! She was very knowledgeable, caring and supportive throughout the program. Kellsey responded quickly to questions and was always willing to go above and beyond to track down information to support her client’s specific needs.
