Episode 9: My 5-Step Meal Planning Framework
Episode Summary:
In this episode, Summer Van Arsdale, registered dietitian and founder of The Kidney Nutrition Coach, invites you into the heart of her 5-step framework for planning balanced, satisfying meals with CKD in mind.
As spring blooms in Ohio, Summer reflects on seasonal transitions and how they mirror the shifts we can make in our own nutrition routines. If you've ever felt stuck staring at your fridge, unsure of what to cook, or frustrated by bland “renal diet” recipes, this episode is your solution.
Summer shares common challenges her clients face, from eating out too often and food waste to fear-driven food choices, and how intentional meal planning can turn confusion into confidence. She introduces a flexible system that supports your kidney health and your lifestyle.
You’ll walk away with a simple, repeatable process that transforms the way you plan your meals and a powerful tool that can make it even easier.
