Maggie Murphy joined Pediatric Nephrology at UK’s Children Hospital last summer as their first Registered Dietitian. Maggie came to the division with previous experience in obesity and diabetes research, specifically how early life stress such as child abuse and neglect can predispose an individual to develop metabolic syndrome including hypertension in adulthood. She has been a registered dietitian for 7 years and is excited to bring her passion of helping children and families develop balanced lifestyles by utilizing a combined behavioral weight management approach in order to experience healthy relationships with their bodies, food, and their emotions.
Maggie’s educational background includes a PhD in Nutritional Sciences and an MS in Dietetics Administration from the University of Kentucky. She obtained a B.S. in Food Science and Human Nutrition from the University of Florida.
