Brooke Bouwhuis, RDN

Brooke Bouwhuis, RDN, CD is a registered dietitian in our Nutrition Resources department on the basement floor of the Layton Antelope Building A. She attended Weber State University for her associate’s degree, then Utah State University for a bachelor of science degree in Nutrition and Food Science with a Medical Nutrition Emphasis.  

Brooke finds creative, out-of-the-box solutions filled with empathy, patience, humor, curiosity, and energy. She is a life-long learner and enjoys keeping up with best practices for her patient care. She loves the work she does to help patients with their nutrition. Brooke believes in her line of work that “I help you get excited about little changes which lead to big outcomes. Nutrition is literally a bite-by-bite approach and it’s so exciting to see people feel better quickly with small, simple powerful changes. I am particularly passionate about the gut microbiome, especially when it comes to helping improve digestive issues and mental health.” Her agenda is “your agenda” – she wants to meet you where you are at, and together you can crush your goals.  

She grew up in Pleasant View, UT and her family includes her husband, three children, and Gloria – her Red Footed tortoise (which was a COVID pet who can live well past 40 years)! Brooke loves dark chocolate – she said she eats it daily and feels no guilt or shame in saying that. In her free time, she enjoys “puttering around in the garden, growing all kinds of nifty things.” She is also obsessed with mountain and fat tire biking. Her happy place is up in the mountains or on a beach for vacations.  Brooke’s favorite book is Stiff by Mary Roach – the anatomy class she didn’t have to take. One of her favorite movies is “Goonies” since it was her dream adventure when in junior high, and enjoys podcasts for entertainment.
