Why this course
Did you know that dietitians are the perfect professional to bridge the gap between Western medicine and complementary medicine?
This is especially true for renal dietitians, where nutrition and gut health plays an integral role in kidney disease outcomes.
Strengthen your critical thinking skills by diving into the functional and integrative approaches to address kidney disease in a more holistic way! Several course highlights include:
- Details of the digestive system and its impact on health
- The kidney-gut axis and gut-healing tools for kidney patients
- Medication – supplement interactions
- How to use a functional/integrative approach without alienating your nephrologist
Functional and integrative thinking adds depth to CKD care.

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.
