Why a "One-Size-Fits-All" Diet Doesn't Work
When it comes to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), there is no single "kidney disease diet." The conflicting information online exists because every person's nutritional needs are different. MetaSano cuts through the noise by providing guidance that's 100% personalized for you.
Your diet should be customized based on your unique lab results, comorbidities (like diabetes or high blood pressure), medications, and allergies.
For CKD stages 3 & 4, it's often crucial to monitor intake of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus to prevent further kidney damage and complications.
A kidney-friendly diet isn't just about what to avoid. It's about embracing beneficial ingredients that support kidney function and overall wellness.

A Message from Our Founder
Ewerton Lopes
Founder of MetaSano
Ewerton’s journey with MetaSano is deeply personal. Diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in 2016, he faced the fear of rapid disease progression. In 2019, he made a bold decision—selling everything to travel across the U.S. and Canada in a motorhome. A year later, the pandemic hit, amplifying his uncertainty. Determined to take control of his health, he immersed himself in studying CKD, experimenting with lifestyle and dietary changes, and ultimately stabilizing his condition.
With a background in computer engineering and a successful career in customer experience solutions across multiple countries, Ewerton saw an opportunity to merge his technical expertise with his passion for kidney health. He became a certified Health Coach specializing in CKD and founded MetaSano—a groundbreaking platform that empowers both patients and healthcare professionals with data-driven insights and personalized nutrition guidance.
Collaborating closely with researchers and medical experts, Ewerton ensured that MetaSano was rooted in scientific evidence. The platform has earned multiple awards and grants in Canada for its innovative approach to kidney care.
What began as a personal fight for health has now become a mission to transform the lives of others facing similar challenges.

- Over 70% reported regular physical activity — but it wasn’t enough without adjusting their diet.
- Even with high blood pressure or diabetes, many managed to maintain or improve kidney function.
- Nighttime urination (nocturia) is identified as the main culprit disrupting sleep in people with chronic kidney disease.
- Many individuals wake up tired not because of weight, but due to frequent awakenings to urinate — highlighting a unique, non-obvious barrier to restful sleep.
- Up to 80% of CKD patients report waking up at least once per night to urinate — a condition known as nocturia.
- This sleep disturbance is linked to reduced quality of life, daytime fatigue, and even mild depression, especially in stages 3 and 4 of CKD.
