Department of Nutritional SciencesDr. Elizabeth Klingbeil is a PhD, RDN currently teaching in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at UT.-
Dr. Klingbeil is an Assistant Professor of Instruction at the University of Texas-Austin, with a PhD and Registered Dietitian (RD) from the University of Georgia. Her research interests include the gut microbiome, satiety signaling, and feeding behavior. She has examined the probiotic and therapeutic properties of potato resistant starch supplementation for the prevention of obesity and associated co-morbidities through the promotion of bacterial fermentation and improvement of gut intestinal barrier function. She has also examined how the timing of feeding, including intermittent fasting, influences gut microbial composition in animal studies. Dr. Klingbeil has established herself as a media nutrition expert, being quoted in various publications such as The New York Times, LIVESTRONG, Well + Good and Healthline among others. As a practicing clinical RD, Dr. Klingbeil has experience in out-patient weight management, bariatric surgery and critical care nutrition. In addition to her nutrition expertise, Dr. Klingbeil is a talented musician, previously performing as the principal cellist for the Concordia College Orchestra, a former member of the University of Georgia Symphony Orchestra and currently an active contractor for various studios.
