Excited to share our latest work and paper in CJASN.

Studying what it takes to make nutrition & health changes in the context of kidney disease. We heard from Veterans about rigid rules, mission-first habits and service, and dietary choices. #ASNCJASN

[ASN Publications @asnpublications]

In a qualitative study of veterans with CKD, this #ASNCJASN research shares participants' experience and perspectives with nutrition. https://t.co/GqLpcbg69r

“It’s like you flip a switch” Ha ha, great to be quoted in the DP. But even better that our work and work in the field of FIM/FAM keeps making headlines. Let's keep it a hot topic!

[The Denver Post @denverpost]

As “food is medicine” movement takes hold, Colorado Medicaid looks to pay for produce and better meals https://t.co/2SgnAF45D5

[Luis Perez @Lmipz]

Another one for Plant Protein & Plant-Based/Forward diets in CKD! Associated with better measures of cognitive function. Looks to be even stronger with unprocessed, plant-based protein (i.e., whole fruit, veg, etc. -NOVA1) #NephTwitter #RenalNutrition https://t.co/T2U47Wv4mH

Excited to announce another publication, from my time at CU, on Medically Tailored Meals (MTMs) in dialysis in the Denver Metro! Also getting a VA CDA submitted this week! 🤞 🙏 Onto the next work already!

Happy to answer any questions or discuss.

Stop by poster #335 (in-person number) if you want to talk medical meals and renal nutrition! #NKFClinicals

Many Dietitians and Social workers are doing these referrals @NPR

[Luis Perez @Lmipz]

Referred to me yesterday: Doctors normally prescribe medicine and now some are prescribing meals https://t.co/PHDZnXEwO4

Providing standard dialysis over emergency dialysis saves the state millions of dollars--In Colorado, the cost of emergency dialysis was 8-fold greater.

From NOLA--“We are poor people,” said Deras...holding signs that pled for continued treatments. “But we are human beings.”

@FlyFrontier You made every single person on flight F9 876 10/14/22 size their bags contributing to an already over 1 hour flight delay. Several children on the flight were nervous/scared. Many others upset. Many with small underseaters forced to pay $100. Wow.

@amberbrwn Not all or a majority of books I found out.

@SeaDenCOIN @DeptVetAffairs Endlessly grateful to @CU_Kidney & @J_B_Kendrick for all my time, experience, opportunities, & work so far. Hope to continue more CKD research down the road!

[Luis Perez @Lmipz]

Super excited to be moving to the @SeaDenCOIN next month and conducting @DeptVetAffairs & nutrition research! Also appreciative as an Air Force veteran myself!

@TamarHaspel From an MNT standpoint, have helped renal (kidney disease) pts make burgers, tacos, pepperoni pizza, etc. (not scratch) and fall within nutritional recommendations. Definitely need ways to sort out UPF and implications beyond NOVA

Grateful to be involved and put out a paper on sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SO) in peritoneal dialysis (PD)! Looking at how pts maintained (no sig ↑, though no ↓in) appetite/nutritional status on SO while ↓ S-phos, pill burden. thanks to @J_B_Kendrick https://t.co/waMmCkOX9K

[Luis Perez @Lmipz]

Thanks for @anniebelch & @kwilund also!

Better late than never, but happy to put out/describe a review that was several years in the making! Home-delivered meals for CKD (aka. medically tailored meals-MTM-in some circles)! #NephTwitter #MedicallyTailoredMeals 1/4 https://t.co/A8e0P6z9G1
