“My mission is to educate and uplift those with kidney disease. Through Kidney Coach, I help people understand their bodies, shift their mindset, and create real change using holistic, proven strategies.”
Fiona is a Kidney Coach lead writer and fully qualified Naturopath with a Bachelor’s degree in health science. She has been in clinical practice for over 20 years, working in the USA, Canada and Australia.
She specializes in those diagnosed with neurological autoimmune conditions, longevity medicine, and chronic kidney disease. She co-founded Kidney Coach, which provides programs and education to empower those diagnosed with CKD, and KYGENESIS®, a supplement range designed for those diagnosed with kidney disease. She also hosts a podcast on YouTube called The Kidney Coach, a health channel dedicated to supporting those with all types of CKD.
Fiona was Australia’s first qualified Wahls practitioner, which uses scientifically proven dietary interventions to improve the outcomes for those diagnosed with autoimmune conditions. She has also undertaken post-graduate training in peptide therapy. She was also asked to be the lead author of a Springer Nature medical text on “Integrative Strategies for Those Diagnosed with Kidney Disease”, which is currently with the editors before printing in late 2025. She was also a key presenter at the Post-Viral Symposium for Long-Haul Covid in late 2024.
She worked alongside world-renowned neuroscientists and researchers when she worked for Dr. Joe Dispenza, who is rewriting the science around what is possible with meditation, the human mind and the body’s ability to heal.
When Fiona isn’t running KYGENESIS® and Kidney Coach, seeing patients, or recording podcasts, you will probably find her researching the latest breakthroughs in treatment for CKD, spinal cord injuries or other complex chronic conditions. If she isn’t doing that, she will be playing with her Dobermann Apollo.
What the trials actually show, where the argument is still live, and what I see in clinic For fifty years, one of the first things a person with chronic kidney disease was told at diagnosis was to cut back on protein. It became so routine that most people never questioned it. Eat less protein, spare…
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is widely understood as a progressive genetic disorder characterised by the relentless formation and expansion of fluid-filled cysts within the kidneys. Over time, these cysts multiply and enlarge, gradually displacing healthy renal tissue and driving progressive loss of kidney function. PKD can also affect the liver and pancreas, and is associated…
Introduction If you’ve been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD), you’ve likely heard about creatinine, eGFR, and potassium levels. But there’s a crucial enzyme that most doctors and even medical textbooks still aren’t discussing: renalase. Discovered only in 2005, this remarkable protein plays a central role in kidney health, blood pressure regulation, and the body’s…
The Urgency of Kidney Health Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the fastest-growing health concerns worldwide, affecting an estimated 10% of the population. The kidneys are essential for maintaining fluid balance, regulating blood pressure, detoxifying the body, and producing hormones. Once kidney function declines, recovery is difficult and often limited. Prevention, early support, and…
A comprehensive guide to understanding the critical relationship between thyroid function and kidney health When we think about kidney disease, we often focus on diet, blood pressure, and diabetes management. But there’s a crucial connection that’s frequently overlooked in conventional medicine: the profound relationship between your thyroid and your kidneys. This connection could be the…
Early detection of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is crucial for preventing irreversible kidney damage and cardiovascular complications. While conventional markers like serum creatinine and albumin-creatinine ratio remain important, they often miss early tubular injury and fibrotic processes that signal CKD progression. Three specialised blood tests – Beta-2 Microglobulin (B2M), Retinol Binding Protein (RBP), and Transforming…
Understanding Why Good Sleep Matters for Your Kidneys Many of us know that sleep is essential for overall health, but few realise its significant impact on kidney function. If you or a loved one has chronic kidney disease (CKD), paying attention to sleep habits could be just as significant as following dietary recommendations or medication…
Are you considering adding creatine to your wellness routine but living with chronic kidney disease? You’re not alone. As our understanding of creatine’s benefits for healthy aging grows, many people with kidney concerns are wondering if this popular supplement could be right for them. Creatine has made headlines recently for its impressive benefits in maintaining…
What Are GLP-1 and GLP-2 Peptides? GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) and GLP-2 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-2) are naturally occurring hormones classified as incretins produced in the gut in response to food intake. They are vital in regulating glucose metabolism, appetite, and various digestive processes. Both peptides have become targets for therapeutic interventions due to their beneficial effects on…
Regarding dietary interventions in treating and managing PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease), the science is solid. The first thing we can do via the diet is to starve the cysts of what they need to grow, and that food is mainly carbohydrates and sugars. This is where a plant-based ketogenic diet excels. Eat a plant-based ketogenic…
