Dharti Shah, RDN

Dietitian
MI
Hi there. I'm Dharti. I am a Registered Dietitian since 2013. I hold a Bachelor's degree from Sir Vithaldas Thackersey College of Home Science, a Master's degree in Nutrition from Texas Woman's University, Denton, and completed my dietetic internship at Bastyr University in Kenmore, WA. During my career, I have worked as a clinical RD at a long-term care and rehabilitation facility, as an outpatient RD providing care for diabetes, heart disease, and food allergies, and more recently as an RD for a dialysis facility and CKD clinic. I am also a certified LEAP therapist and help manage food sensitivities and related inflammatory or autoimmune conditions through the LEAP diet protocol. As a dialysis dietitian, I have seen firsthand the decreased quality of life experienced by patients on dialysis. This role sparked an entrepreneurial interest in providing nutrition therapy for kidney disease. In my experience, timely nutrition therapy can delay or avoid the need for dialysis. This is the opportunity window many patients miss, ending up on dialysis, which often is lifelong. My core philosophy is to help preserve kidney function through plant-based nutrition. Patients often struggle to find the right diet for kidneys or make sense of "food lists" given by their physician, not realizing a renal diet is more than a list of do's and don'ts. My intention is to equip patients with tools and knowledge to be confident and informed in how they choose to eat and protect their kidneys. My personal interests include cooking (trying new recipes or modifying old ones), dancing, and traveling. Traveling has changed my perspective, and I believe everyone should travel to discover themselves. I am excited to be part of your health journey and look forward to helping you achieve the best health possible.
