"My eGFR was 18.
I purchased her books, learned from them, and followed her advice. I watched her YouTube videos and watched her classroom when I could.
I have to tell you my eGFR is now 32!
This woman is here to help! She cares and wants to help us Kidney Warriors.
Thank you so much. Linda, you are the Best!"
"This is the best information I have received for my kidney disease in the past 30 years.
If I had this back then I may not have had to get my kidney transplant yet. Now I just hope to keep my new kidney as long as possible! Again, thank you."
Hippocrates said, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."
Nothing is truer than for chronic kidney disease. The primary treatment is diet, specifically reducing amounts of sodium, potassium, phosphorus, often protein and carbs, and if late stage or on dialysis, fluids are restricted as well.
This presents an immeasurable challenge for patients, and they complain that they do not receive the help they need from the medical community, and the one resource that should be helping, dieticians, are often out of reach, either by monetary, or geographic issues.
Having journeyed this road, Linda has the inside track on the full amount of information and processes needed to navigate through this extremely confusing and hard-to-understand diet. Kidney patients benefit in numerous ways, and the top question is resolved quickly – "What can I eat?"
Her clients are raving, and their labs are showing the results. Kidney filtration rates (GFR) are stabilized or improving, clients are reporting their A1C normalizing, and one client reported that following the method for her husband's kidney disease has also helped to get her diabetes under control.
The success of the program stems from its high adaptability. The method can be used for any dietary changes that need to occur. In addition, CKD Culinary Consulting keeps clients' success as their top priority by offering the necessary lifetime support, so patients have access to the help they need, and can secure assistance calls to ensure their ongoing success.
The How to Eat for CKD Method™ (Complete Program Book) is streamlined to utilize the quickest path to get patients eating safely. This format also follows the online class process. Clients will begin eating safely on day one and continue to build a customized meal plan to fit their specific needs, which can include all health issues, and family's needs as well. They will be supplied with clear and extensive information and the process that will lead them to a satisfying and enjoyable lifelong kidney lifestyle.
CKDelicious!™ Cookbook provides patients the opportunity to use the techniques from the program in combination with the cookbook to enjoy amazing meals they can adjust to their specific needs.
CKD Culinary Consulting was started by Linda Blaylock in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2020 when the then-budding entrepreneur saw a need for a clear, reliable method to free kidney patients from their confusion, show them how to have their favorite foods, more variety, a simplified process, and show them how to successfully implement those dietary changes for life.
After her husband's diagnosis, they struggled with his diet and he despised being told he could not have foods the foods he treasured. This sparked a determination in her to figure out how to allow him to have them once again. She truly believed there had to be a way to work with any food, and she was right.
Linda is a Chef honors graduate of Aguste Escoffier Culinary School. ISSA® Certified Nutritionist, Certified Kidney Health Coach, Author, Educational Instructor, and a caregiver to her husband who has stage 3 kidney disease.
She was a culinary consultant for American Kidney Fund®, and many of her recipes are available on their Kidney Kitchen® website, she also provided many cooking demos, webinars, and educational content for their blog.
She has done informational webinars and cooking demonstrations for American Kidney Fund® and National Kidney Foundation®. She has been in Culinary Entrepreneurs® magazine and has worked with dieticians to further clients' kidney diet success.
She has also taught educational classes in her local area, oversees three online support groups, and does informational guest spots and cooking demonstrations for medical professionals wanting to learn more about the method and recommend it to patients.
