Most people who form one kidney stone form another. Diet is one of the few levers patients can actually pull — but generic 'low-oxalate' advice often misses the point. Our registered dietitians interpret your 24-hour urine results and design a stone-specific prevention plan.
Conditions we treat
- Recurrent calcium oxalate stones
- Calcium phosphate stones
- Uric acid stones
- Cystine stones
- Struvite (infection) stones — coordinated with urology
- Post-bariatric stone risk
Our approach
Stone prevention starts with knowing what kind of stone you make and what your urine chemistry actually shows:
Lab interpretation
We review your 24-hour urine, stone composition, and metabolic workup with you.
Targeted diet
Adjustments to fluid, sodium, animal protein, calcium, oxalate, and citrate based on your specific risk pattern.
Sustainable habits
Realistic meal planning that fits your life and culture, not a generic restriction list.
How it works
- 1
Records review
Send us your stone analysis, 24-hour urine results, and recent labs before your first visit.
- 2
Initial consult
60-minute visit to map out your specific drivers and a starting plan.
- 3
Follow-ups
30-minute visits every 4–6 weeks, with repeat 24-hour urine at 3 months.
- 4
Long-term care
Quarterly check-ins once you are stable.
Is this right for you?
Best for
- Patients who have formed two or more stones
- First-time formers with strong family history or metabolic risk
- Patients whose urology team has recommended dietary management
Not the right fit
- Acute stone management (this is preventive care)
- Patients without a confirmed stone diagnosis
- Patients who decline 24-hour urine testing
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to cut out spinach forever?
Almost certainly not. Oxalate restriction is one tool among many, and only some stone formers benefit. We tailor the recommendation to your urine chemistry.
Should I avoid calcium?
No — that often makes stones worse. Adequate dietary calcium binds oxalate in the gut. The myth that calcium causes stones has been overturned for decades.
Will I need 24-hour urine testing?
For recurrent stone formers, yes. It is the foundation of evidence-based prevention. We can help you arrange it through your local lab.
Do you replace my urologist?
No. We complement urology and nephrology care by handling the nutrition piece in depth.
