“I thought to myself, ‘Where has this lady been my entire adult life!? There is actually hope?’ For the first time in over 20 years, I felt hopeful. Between my dietitian and the Kidney Stone Nutrition School, I cannot emphasize enough, how much I learned about myself; my eating habits and lifestyle; what a 24-hour urinalysis actually was and what that test can do to help kidney stone prevention. For YEARS, I was told by several urologists, that ‘it’s genetic,’ ‘drink more water’, ‘cut down all these foods (hands me a list and I literally begin to cry)’. Based off my last 24-hour test, I feel confident I have figured out what works for me, and the balance that I need for my body, to prevent stone formation. My dietitian worked with me diligently on what I needed to eat, and even helped me figure out how to accomplish this with my hectic work schedule, working ALL shifts. Everything it tailored to your specific needs. The investment is small in comparison to a mountain of hospital bills, time lost at home or work, and the crippling effects of trying to pass a stone, surgery or worse, permanent kidney damage. Not only did I learn more about my health than I, quite literally, have from any other provider, but I even managed to lose 16 lbs. in 3 months.”
