| | | If you read the Nutrition Edition regularly, you know that twice a week we feature a Q&A with a registered dietitian (RD). These nutrition experts offer invaluable insights into our dietary habits and how they affect our health. But they aren't just masterful RDs — they're pretty cool people too. Below, Kirsten Seele, RD, proves my point. | | | | | | | Enjoy!

May 22, 2025 • 3 min read | | | |  | | | | Q: | Some things you didn't know about Healthline registered dietitian Kirsten Seele | | | A: | What's something you've done recently that you're proud of?
"I run a small Little Free Pantry in my hometown, and in 2024 we celebrated its fifth birthday! Taking steps to expand the conversation around food insecurity and help those who may need a hand has always been a passion of mine."
Who would you choose to be stranded on a deserted island with and why?
"I'd probably choose one of my besties, as I might as well be with someone I can laugh and cry with! I would probably choose my friend Crystal. As a nurse, she is strong, incredibly smart, and used to intense situations! And as clumsy as I am, a nurse is a must."
What nutrition advice do you wish people would stop sharing?
"Bread = weight gain. Bread is not our enemy! If we have a sensitivity or an allergy, it makes sense to eliminate bread or products containing the triggering ingredient. However, bread alone does not cause weight gain and can be a part of a balanced diet, especially when choosing 100% whole grain. Similarly, cutting out bread may not lead to instant weight loss either."
What's your favorite way to celebrate your birthday?
"A day off from work and a massage at my favorite spa is how I always spend my birthday. Self-care is a must. As long as the snow doesn't ruin my plans, I also enjoy a family dinner at my favorite Mexican restaurant."
What's your least favorite "healthy" food and why?
"I enjoy most vegetables, but I despise cucumbers! It makes ordering sushi difficult, but I can't stand the flavor. It reminds me of using cucumber melon-scented lotion as a child!"
What's a show you're currently watching?
"I just got done binge-watching 'Shrinking' on AppleTV+. I love Jason Segel. 10/10 recommend!" | | | | | Kirsten Seele, Registered Dietitian | | | Want to learn more about food, diets, cooking, or some other nutrition subject?
