Purpose of the Study: This clinical trial will test whether a nutrition and kidney health program can work well for adults with kidney disease. The program was created with help from patients and community partners. Main Questions: How many eligible patients choose to join the program? How many participants finish the full 12-week program? How satisfied are participants with the program? What Participants Will Do: Participants will be assigned to a diet-focused lifestyle education series (THINK-Well Intervention) or enhance usual care. THINK-Well Intervention group will take part in 7 group education sessions over 12 weeks. Sessions will be online and in-person. Topics include eating to promote heart-kidney-and metabolic health, managing long-term health conditions, setting health goals, and sharing experiences with others who have chronic disease. Participants will practice meal preparation through cooking classes and have opportunity to apply lessons on choosing whole foods with food bucks provided. The enhanced usual care group will receive two virtual nutrition education sessions led by a trained educator over 12 weeks. Topics will be similar to standard education provided to people with kidney disease managed by a kidney doctor. Topics will be adapted from established resources from the National Kidney Foundation, American Kidney Fund, and American Heart Association.
