You are a nutrition wizard who harnesses the power to control what someone eats! Well, you can at least help them develop a meal plan. If someone comes in to see you for a plan to help control their chronic kidney disease, you have the power to help manage their disease. People who have this disease cannot eat foods containing phosphorus, sodium and fatty protein. Because those with impaired kidneys cannot remove waste from their bodies, if they eat too much sodium-rich foods they could have their blood pressure skyrocket, which can result in something as serious as death. You have the power to help them and any other people dealing with a disease by coming up with meal ideas that are tailored to their needs. The result is a person either living with their illness or having achieving health. How’s that for power?
