Kirsten Vereecken, RD, CSP

Kirsten Vereecken is a registered dietitian (RD) and board-certified specialist in pediatric nutrition (CSP) with a career spanning clinical practice and medical sales. She earned her undergraduate degree in dietetics from Western Michigan University and completed a year-long internship at Spectrum Health, now Corewell Health, with rotations in clinical nutrition, community nutrition including WIC, and food service. Beginning her professional journey in 2008 as a clinical dietitian at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, she provided care across multiple specialties and floors before focusing on outpatient services in the neurodevelopmental clinic, where she supported nutrition for neurodivergent children and those failing to thrive. After about 10 years in clinical pediatrics, she moved into medical sales, first with Mead Johnson handling infant formula and human milk fortifier, then with Kate Farms on pediatric plant-based formulas in the Texas area working with clinicians and WIC. Currently at Ellaola, she works remotely from Michigan educating clinicians and health systems nationwide on micronutrient deficiencies in both neurodivergent and neurotypical children, promoting powdered tasteless multivitamins that can be mixed into foods or drinks. She was voted MVP of her district by peers during her time at Mead Johnson, attributing her success to a strong support system and self-discipline while emphasizing the importance of connecting with others and building from a solid clinical foundation.
