✨ Happy National Fajita Day! ✨⁠
⁠
Why I love fajitas:⁠
* You can pile on any veggie you love 🌶️🥦⁠
* The seasoning stays simple (but big on flavor)⁠
* Works for keto eaters AND non-keto family members 💙⁠
* Adaptable to your mood or what’s in the fridge⁠
⁠
Sharing one of my go-to, and delish recipes: Poblano & Portobello Fajitas — hearty, smoky, and kidney-friendly.⁠
⁠
🌮 Poblano & Portobello Fajitas (Keto & PKD-Friendly)⁠
⁠
INGREDIENTS⁠
* 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil⁠
* 1/4 tsp sea salt⁠
* 1 tsp black pepper (or to taste)⁠
* 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder⁠
* 2 1/2 tsp chili powder⁠
* 1 tsp paprika⁠
* 1 tsp cumin⁠
* 12 oz portobello mushroom caps (4 caps, sliced 1/2” thick)⁠
* 3 poblano peppers (seeded & sliced into strips)⁠
* 2 red bell peppers (seeded & sliced)⁠
* 1 red onion (sliced)⁠
* 2 avocados⁠
* 2 cups cauliflower rice (steamed)⁠
⁠
DIRECTIONS⁠
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.⁠
2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, salt, pepper, and spices.⁠
3. Toss mushrooms, peppers, and onion in the spice mixture. Let marinate 5 minutes.⁠
4. Spread veggies evenly on the sheet pan and roast 35–40 minutes, stirring halfway.⁠
5. To serve: layer cauliflower rice, roasted veggies, and avocado in bowls. Finish with fresh lime, cilantro, and a drizzle of hot sauce if you love heat.⁠

True story.⁠
⁠
The earlier you start making nutrition changes that have —and removing the stressors that weigh on PKD kidneys—the better.⁠
⁠
One of the most common things I hear is:⁠
"I wish I had started working with you sooner..."⁠
⁠
While I’m always grateful to support someone right where they are, I want the whole PKD community to know: small, positive shifts add up. They can help with:⁠
⁠
Protecting PKD kidney health⁠
⁠
Preventing injury and strain⁠
⁠
Lowering risk of complications (heart health, anemia, weak bones)⁠
⁠
Reducing kidney stone risk (or preventing them in the first place)⁠
⁠
Slowing cyst growth⁠
⁠
Calming inflammation⁠
⁠
👉 The earlier you start, the bigger the benefit. And yes—I mean YOU, reading this right now.⁠
⁠
Starting Tolvaptan early can add nearly 11 years of kidney life. Imagine what the right nutrition can do.⁠
⁠
Powerful. Protective. Personalized PKD Nutrition.⁠

Fixed it. Here’s why:
Genes are genes.
We can’t change them (yet!).

But PKD is more than the “disease” part.
Instead of pouring all your energy into what you can’t change…
Let’s focus on the health side—the part you can control.

Because when you know where your opportunities are, you know exactly where to take action.

That’s how you create real outcomes that last—
outcomes that can slow progression, protect your kidneys,
and support you as a whole person.

I help people with PKD turn uncertainty into action—
and action into results, including:

- Slowing progression with targeted nutrition strategies

- Reducing kidney pain & digestive symptoms

- Improving energy, blood sugar, and blood pressure

- Supporting healthy weight & muscle

- Feeling confident with food choices—without fear

To take control of their PKD with proven tools and support.

You don’t have to “wait and see.”
You can start now.
I’ll show you how.

🍉 Happy National Watermelon Day!⁠
⁠
Not only is watermelon delicious — it’s also PKD-friendly. 🙌⁠
⁠
Here’s why:⁠
⁠
✅ Rich in potassium – great for supporting blood pressure⁠
✅ Loaded with lycopene – a powerful antioxidant that helps fight free radical damage (and gives watermelon its red color!)⁠
⁠
Yes, watermelon is naturally sweet and a bit higher in natural sugars compared to berries — which can make it a bit trickier to fit into a ketogenic plan… but not impossible!⁠
⁠
💡 Here’s what I want you to remember about fruit and PKD:⁠
⁠
Yes, fruit has natural sugar.⁠
⁠
No, eating fruit will not make your cysts grow.⁠
⁠
With keto therapy, we reduce net carbs — which means we’re more selective about which fruits (and how much) we eat.⁠
⁠
Inside KMP, members have enjoyed watermelon in feta salads and even in tropical-inspired smoothies! 🍉🥗🥤⁠
⁠
It’s not that watermelon is bad for PKD — it’s just higher in carbs, so we enjoy it more mindfully.⁠
⁠
And honestly?⁠
I’d much rather see you enjoy a slice of fresh watermelon than settle for an ultra-processed “low-carb” product just because it feels “safe.” ❤️⁠

🚨 What could change in just 90 days?

If you have PKD and feel like you’re doing everything “right” but still seeing your labs worsen, energy drop, or symptoms creep up — this is for you.

💥 In just 90 days:
✨ 64% saw a drop in creatinine & increase in eGFR
✨ Many reduced protein spilling into their urine
✨ Blood pressure improved
✨ Kidney pain reduced
✨ Blood sugar stabilized
✨ Confidence & community skyrocketed

But the numbers only tell part of the story.

People felt empowered, connected, and hopeful — sometimes for the first time since diagnosis. 💙

🔁 Weekly community calls
🥑 Recipes that actually work for PKD
📚 Support, education & real-time guidance
🥳 Shared wins and real talk about what works
🍽️ Inspiration from others facing the same food frustrations

💬 “I finally feel like I’m in the driver’s seat of my PKD.”
💬 “This helped my mental health as much as my physical health.”
