Dr. Rachana Jasani

Ph.D, RD (Registered Renal Dietitian)

– 17+ year of experience in renal nutrition & diabetes diet

– Certified Diabetes Educator

– Premier Instructor at Udemy

– Co-author of the book ‘Indian Diets in Kidney Diseases‘

Since college days, I was passionate about working into field of renal nutrition and diabetes care
Hence, I chose to gather an experience in this field and gradually this passion started becoming an enjoyable experience
With time; I could deep dive into the practical issues faced by patients and undertsand their needs and expectations
This gradually helped me convert my experience into expertise

In India, there is a paucity of Dietitians and Nutritionists and when it comes to diseases like kidney disease or diabetes or diabetes related complications; there are all the more fewer Dietitians and Nutritionists available
With an extensive experience of working with renal and diabetic patients, I could not only understand the expectations from a patient but also from the treating doctors (Nephrologists and Endocrinologists)
My plans are oriented towards setting up short term as well as long term goals for patients
For example, short terms goals for renal patients are reversing their high potassium levels or low albumin levels, etc
This gave a clear path to the patients and it helped me gain the trust of treating Physicians
A thorough scientific evidence oriented approach became the bedrock of my practice, ensuring a strong research based foundation
My transition from a 9 -5 employee to the best renal dietitian nutritionist in India opened new vistas for innovation in renal nutrition
It allowed me to infuse novel concepts into my counseling sessions, an opportunity I hadn’t fully explored while I was working as a 9 to 5 employee!

With a notable presence in the field of nutrition and kidney health, I am a co-author of the book ‘Indian Diets in Kidney Diseases‘. This comprehensive reference work is an invaluable resource for both patients and caregivers navigating kidney disease.
It is available in 3 -English, Hindi and Marathi languages, easily accessible through leading online platforms such as Amazon, Flipkart, and Kindle
Moreover, I’ve authored two other essential books: “Nutrition Simplified in Dialysis Patients” and “Nutrition Simplified in Transplant Patients.” These insightful guides provide clear and concise dietary guidance tailored to these specific medical contexts.
My contributions extend beyond the realm of books. I’ve presented over 10 posters at international conferences, shedding light on dietary considerations in kidney diseases.
On a national and regional level, I’ve shared my expertise through more than 50 poster presentations, further emphasizing the importance of nutrition in kidney health.
My commitment to advancing knowledge is also evident in my published work. I have authored 7 papers in esteemed scientific journals, focusing on vital aspects of renal diet, dialysis diet, and related topics. This body of work underscores my dedication to improving the lives of individuals dealing with kidney-related challenges, both through comprehensive publications and accessible resources.

They say “you haven’t learnt enough, if you haven’t learnt something positive from tough times”
All thanks to Covid-19, Dietitians/Nutritionists were compelled to go online for nutrition consultation services
While in the pre-covid period, traveling to the clinic for nutrition consultation was a huge hassle for patients especially in metro cities; with online consultation facilities, the process became very simple, easy and hassle free
It soon became a blessing in disguise for Dietitians/Nutritionists as well as for patients as they could reach out for nutrition consultation from the comfort of their home

After completion of post-graduation in clinical nutrition and diet therapy, I joined one of the leading dialysis service providers of India where I had the pleasure of serving as Head – Nutritionist for over 12 years

During this tenure, I also pursued Ph.D. from Seth G S Medical College and Hospital, Mumbai

With this, I gained expertise in various diet segments like:
- kidney diet/ renal diet
- dialysis diet
- transplant diet
- diabetes diet
- diet for BP control
- diet for heart problems, etc
With my research background, I could accomplish several researches on patients with kidney disease, dialysis as well as kidney transplant
This helped me in giving my practice a completely evidence based approach
The transition from a one-to-one consultation to online consultation gave me an opportunity to plan innovative ideas for my counseling sessions which was not possible during one-to-one consultation
