David St-Jules is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutrition at the University of Nevada, Reno. His research focuses on dietary interventions for individuals with adiposity-based chronic diseases, particularly chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hemodialysis patients. He investigates potassium and phosphorus homeostasis, protein-energy wasting, and technology-supported dietary counseling for lifestyle modifications.

St-Jules' work delves into the intersection of nutrition and chronic disease management, with a specific emphasis on dietary recommendations for CKD patients. His studies address the challenges of phosphorus and potassium restrictions, the role of whole grains, and the impact of plant-based versus animal-based protein sources. He also explores the feasibility of mobile health (mHealth) interventions in improving dietary adherence among hemodialysis patients.
Recent publications highlight his focus on hyperphosphatemia and hyperkalemia management, personalized nutrition, and technology-supported counseling for patients with dual chronic conditions like diabetes and CKD. His research bridges nutritional science with clinical practice, questioning traditional dietary frameworks and advocating for innovative approaches.
