WELCOME

Hi, I'm Girija Vijaykumar, Registered Dietitian. I am passionate about supporting people and families manage kidney disease. Welcome to your new favorite nutrition resource page.

Having lived in India and the United States, I consider myself a global citizen and view the World as my University. Over the years I have seen what preventative care good nutrition can have on someone throughout the life. Be it healthy cooking, diabetes education or developing economical recipes, nutrition and dietetics has the power to make an impact on the entire family.

With Chronic Kidney Disease, time is a big factor to consider. Diet is a huge safety net to protect kidney health. The sooner one takes a look at diet, implements changes, kidney disease changes can be slowed down.

I am an RD for more than 13 years and have notices a lot of misinformation online. One website could say stay away from wheat bread, another could say white bread is great. Or there is so much generic information that you have already worked on and wonder if that is enough to protect kidneys?
