Hi, my name is Dorian, I am a senior high-school at the International School of Los Angeles. In July 2024, my father began dialysis and was immediately faced with the many challenges that come with living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and notably a Sodium Free Food diet. This personal experience motivated me to create a website dedicated to providing vital resources for individuals affected by CKD and those undergoing dialysis. My mission is to offer practical guidance regarding sodium free food, educational tools, and support to help patients and their families navigate the complexities of this condition, improve their quality of life, and find ways to manage their health with confidence. I hope to ease the burden of this journey by providing trustworthy information and creating a sense of community for those impacted by CKD.
My goal is to create a supportive space that provides informative articles, detailed nutrition facts highlighting nutrients like phosphorus and potassium, and carefully selected sodium free food or low sodium products tailored to the specific needs of CKD patients. I also aim to make dining out easier by identifying restaurants with menus that accommodate CKD dietary restrictions. Additionally, I plan to offer practical meal planning tips and recipes that make managing CKD-friendly diets more enjoyable and sustainable. By building a community where patients and caregivers can share experiences and advice, I hope to foster a sense of connection and empowerment.
