My name is Betsy Kimmel, hello! I work at Friendship Circle as a Job Skills Trainer and also I am a Registered Dietitian. I have been working at FC since 2019 and every year I see a need that is not being met in terms of nutrition and health. This has motivated me to create this nutrition program. We want to be available to everyone!

A little about me….I am originally from Maryland. I met my husband in college and after moving around a bit, we settled here in Milwaukee about 17 years ago. I have 3 children and 3 dogs!

My two degrees are in Clinical Nutrition and Exercise Kinesiology. As a dietitian, I have worked in every area ranging from a hospital setting to private practice. In my free time, I love everything about nature and learning anything new that I can research. I also am a big meditator and love understanding the “innerward journey”.

My Philosophy

The core of my philosophy is the belief that food is just not substance but a powerful tool for achieving optimal health and well-being. Each individual is unique and nutritional needs should be addressed through personalized approaches. I emphasize the value of mindful eating, and fostering a deeper connection with the food we consume. Education is the cornerstone of my philosophy. Knowledge empowers individuals to make choices about diet and lifestyle.
