About Us

Ingrid Kohlstadt MD, MPH, FACN

Dr. Kohlstadt is a graduate of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Class of 1993. She earned her bachelor’s degree in biochemistry at the University of Maryland and as a Rotary Club scholar at Universität Tubingen in 1989.

Board-certified in general preventive medicine and with a graduate degree focusing on epidemiology, she became convinced that nutrition is a powerful and underutilized tool to prevent disease. She therefore focused on nutrition with fellowships at Johns Hopkins and The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She worked as a bariatric physician at the Johns Hopkins Weight Management Center and the Florida Orthopaedic Institute. 

As a congressional intern and later with the USDA, health department, USAID, and United States Antarctic Program, Dr. Kohlstadt studied the rugged terrain of health policy, specifically how food and nutrients can be incorporated into primary care medicine. She has edited two medical textbooks Scientific Evidence for Musculoskeletal, Bariatric, and Sports Nutrition [CRC Taylor &Francis, 2006] and Food and Nutrients in Disease Management [CRC Taylor &Francis, February 2009].
