Kyle Kamp, RDN, LD

I currently own a nutrition consultation business with a focus on helping people to prepare for and perform optimally in the mountains. The name of it is Valley to Peak Nutrition. Right after completing my dietetic internship, I spent a good number of years as a clinical dietitian in a hospital in Boise covering general surgery, cardiovascular ICU/Cardio-thoracic ICU, and Telemetry.
