About Laura Fons

Hi, my name is Laura. I am a Registered Dietitian and a board-certified specialist in renal nutrition. When I started college all those years ago, I knew I wanted to work in healthcare and found Dietetics was a good fit for me. I earned my Associate’s degree from Milwaukee Area Technical College and my Bachelor’s degree in Dietetics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1984. Early in my career, I worked in hospital settings, providing outpatient nutrition counseling for weight management, diabetes—as a certified diabetes educator—and cardiovascular disease. Past experiences also include working with gestational diabetics, mental health clients, and clients needing enteral or total parenteral nutrition support, as well as teaching community classes such as breastfeeding and healthy nutrition. I also worked in long-term care mid-career, where I became passionate about nutrition for wound healing, seeing firsthand the difference nutrition could make in the quality of life for residents. For the past 20 years, it has been all about kidney health—first as a dialysis dietitian for 13 years until I earned my nursing degree, then as an educator for both ESRD and CKD clients. It was through working with CKD clients that I decided to focus on nutrition and CKD counseling and have since expanded into other interests such as gut health and food sensitivities. My interests and experiences are varied, and I am still learning and growing. It is my desire to share knowledge and show compassion and understanding of the obstacles and barriers that need to be overcome on one’s health journey.
