Kitty Broihier, MS, RD, LD

Kitty is a registered dietitian and food and nutrition communications professional whose 30 years of experience is focused on accurately translating nutrition science into language that consumers can understand, learn from, and enjoy. Her most important aim when writing is to provide information that people can put into practice in their everyday lives.

Immediately after her schooling, Kitty entered the world of publishing as a member of the editorial staff at Good Housekeeping magazine. She later worked at an international food ingredient company in the public relations department before launching her own company. In addition to writing, Broihier's scope of work includes recipe development, and she has authored and coauthored several cookbooks.

Kitty's work has appeared in dozens of consumer and professional publications including Shape, Prevention, Clean Eating, US News & World Report, the Portland Press-Herald, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' Food & Nutrition magazine, and Cooking Light, to name a few.

Broihier has been an adjunct nutrition instructor for over a decade at Southern Maine Community College, and served as president of the Maine Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics for two terms. In 2013 she was chosen "Outstanding Dietitian of the Year" for the state of Maine.

Kitty is a credentialed mindful eating instructor and puts some of those skills to work with her newest venture called the Eating Habits Lab, where she offers women personalized eating habits and nutrition coaching. She also runs the Eating Habits Lab Facebook group and offers systems-based eating habits online courses.

A mother of two adult children, she currently lives in Lisbon, Maine, with her husband, dog Maisey, and cat Smudge. When not busy in her home office, Kitty spends her time cooking, tending a huge home garden, and thinking of creative ways to repurpose leftovers.
