April Ellis

April Ellis, born in Chicago in 1972, has dedicated her life to helping those affected by kidney disease. Her journey began with a deeply personal challenge—her father’s long struggle with kidney problems and the frustration of managing a restrictive dialysis-friendly diet. Determined to make a difference, April created flavorful recipes that met her father’s needs without sacrificing taste. The success of her efforts inspired her to help others facing similar challenges, changing lives with meals that are as satisfying as they are kidney-friendly. Motivated by a desire to share this life-changing knowledge, April began publishing books and recipe collections. Her mission is to show that managing kidney disease doesn’t mean giving up the joy of food. Through her work, April brings hope and practical solutions to those navigating kidney health, inspired by her own journey to improve her father’s life and empower others to do the same.
