Lindsey Zirker, MS, RDN, CSR
Lindsey has been in the Nephrology field in some capacity her entire career. She spent more than 10 years as the dietitian at the Idaho Kidney Center and has worked as lead clinical dietitian at Kidney Nutrition Institute for the past 5 years.
She has an incredible capacity for taking a deep-dive look into the science of nutrition and assimilating it for practical implementation in the patient setting. She is an accomplished speaker, taking complex science on renal nutrition topics and presenting them clearly.
Lindsey has helped many patients implement a VLPD and ketoanalogue nutrition approach successfully and has kept many of her patients off of dialysis for many years through this therapy. She brings a wealth of practical and scientific knowledge so dietitians can successfully implement the therapy.
