Caitlin Hosmer, MS, RD
Registered and Licensed Dietician
Cornell University, BS/Tufts University, MS, RD
After more than 25 years as a registered dietitian working in Boston’s premier integrative medicine settings, I am bringing my expertise home to Maine. My approach is built on a fundamental truth witnessed throughout my 25+ year career: optimal health starts with proper nourishment, and nourishment looks different for each person.
My journey in nutrition therapy has been shaped by years of collaboration with innovative healthcare providers in integrative medicine. Since 1995, I have worked alongside physicians and a variety of allopathic and complementary medicine clinicians of different modalities who understand that optimal health requires a comprehensive approach.
This model has worked for managing any chronic disease, and perhaps more importantly prevention of chronic disease influenced by lifestyle. Recently, my experience has been particularly valuable in work with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, where I developed extensive expertise in managing complex nutritional needs.
Through careful attention to micronutrient sufficiency, individual tolerance and the many practical aspects of feeding ourselves, I have helped many clients improve their relationship with food while managing difficult chronic conditions.
If you would like an experienced clinician to help you prioritize, simplify and support steps to a more nourished body, please make an appointment!
Working with Caitlin

Caitlin helped me with better food suggestions and how I can manage traveling which was something I did a number of times this year. Although my eating habits are generally good, there was certainly room for improvement. I incorporate these suggestions today.

I'm so grateful I've been able to work with Caitlin over the years. When I first met with her, I was nervous to try any new foods. My diet was made up of anything soft, so I primarily ate white bread, rice, potatoes, meat and baby food. Caitlin told me that food can help heal me, and it's been an awesome journey ever since. I slowly incorporated more nutritious foods, got a Vitamix and started making smoothies with a variety of fruits, veggies and seed/nut powders. Over time I stopped eating meat and went plant based. It sounds so crazy, but some of my favorite foods are red lentils and black beans, both of which I never thought I'd be able to eat.

I thought I was familiar with the nutritional aspects of my care, only to realize with Caitlin's competent assistance that there were other ways to proceed that were so much better. The comprehensive review of my vitamins and supplements was not only enlightening, but I believe helped me turn a corner towards feeling better.
