Kidney Stone Prevention Coaching

Kidney Stone Coach, a novel approach for kidney stone prevention.

Kidney stones affect 8-10% of the U.S. population. About 30% of stone formers are at risk for multiple stone events. This site begins by assessing risk. Based on risk, your coach will advise 1 of 3 pathways to help reduce stone risk in your life.

Kidney Stone Coach respects your time and work responsibilities. A 30 minute visit allows the time necessary to ask and answer questions. Our counseling is a data driven process that works.

Frequently asked questions.

What is kidney stone disease coaching and how can it help me?
Plus Icon

Kidney stone disease is a metabolic problem most often due to dietary and fluid habits. Your coach will ask key questions to determine risk and offer a pathway for further evaluation. Those willing to follow advise will lower their stone risk.

What kind of coaching do you offer?
Plus Icon

Kidney Stone Coach goes way beyond general dietary and fluid advise. The process will target specific problems and offer specific advise. This evidence based protocol works.

Compliance.
Plus Icon

Compliance with dietary instructions and testing methodology is essential. Each session will address compliance and document our client's understanding. Without this understanding, the counselor may suggest termination from the program respecting the client's time and money.

How much does coaching cost?
Plus Icon

The initial visit is $80 paid with a credit card or HSA. The 3 visit protocol, if advised, would cost a total of $320 over the 4 month schedule of visits. Your counselor spends time looking at data in preparation for each visit. Meanwhile there is no time wasted and income lost from traditional office based care. Remember, this is an investment in YOUR personal health and future.
