Katelin Hubbard, PhD

Cellular and molecular nutrition scientist. I help individuals and organizations understand the biochemistry behind health, genetics, and diet.

Background

I earned my PhD in Cellular and Molecular Nutrition at the University of Tennessee, where I studied eicosanoids and metabolic inflammation in diabetes and obesity. My training spans molecular biology, nutrition, biochemistry, and genetic pathway analysis.

Over nearly two decades I have taught, researched, and worked hands-on with genetics, metabolic pathways, and nutrient-driven physiology. I have taught undergraduate and graduate courses in human anatomy, microbiology, and scientific investigation, training students in PCR, cell culture, statistical analysis, and scientific writing. My work has been presented at national conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals, and I have been invited to speak on renal injury, nutrigenomics, adolescent health, and metabolic homeostasis.

Why I consult

The practice grew out of people asking for help interpreting their genes, symptoms, lab results, and diet in plain terms, with evidence-based steps tailored to their biology. I focus on how genetics, nutrition, and biochemistry shape mood, metabolism, energy, inflammation, histamine responses, and overall health. My specialties are the folate and methylation pathways, neurotransmitter biochemistry, metabolic disorders, histamine intolerance, and the complex cases that need pathway-level interpretation.

I also work with clinics, supplement companies, wellness brands, researchers, and schools on scientific writing, SNP panel development, product formulation review, curriculum design, practitioner training, and study development.
