Hi, I’m Lindsey. I’ve been studying nutrition and health since… well, my mom grew an herb garden and taught me to read food labels before the age of 10. Over the past 10 years, I’ve come to love working in renal nutrition and enjoy finding way to blend a holistic upbringing with conventional training to help my patients on dialysis as well as those with stage 3-5 CKD. I love being a renal dietitian. Some days can be challenging because our patients have such complex issues to work with, but as we embrace new ideas and opportunities, dietitians are uniquely poised to make significant differences in the lives of those suffering from kidney disease.
