Rae Holbrook, MS, rdn, cdces

Registered Dietitian Nutritionist

B.S. Nutrition and Dietetics
Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist – CDCES
CPR/AED Certified

Since graduating with her Masters from the University of Idaho in 2018, Rae has worked
as a registered dietitian (RDN) in varied roles across Idaho and Wyoming. She started
her career as the first RDN for the largest Federally Qualified Health Center in the
Treasure Valley of Idaho, using her nutrition expertise to advance the care they provided
their 40,000 patients. In this role, Rae became specialized in diabetes care and weight
management, both of which remain passions of hers to this day. From there Rae
transitioned to a more unique role, working as the sole RDN at an outpatient clinic in
Boise serving only emergency responders (police, fire, EMT). Thrilled to utilize her
performance nutrition background again, this experience reignited her desire to work
with athletes and active individuals in pursuing their health goals. Throughout this time,
Rae also maintained a small private practice, partnering with local gyms and a large
meal prep company in Boise to offer an additional valued service to their patrons. In
2022 Rae moved to Wyoming to be with her now husband and is currently employed at
Ivinson Memorial Hospital as a clinical RDN. Beyond her love for all things food, Rae
enjoys archery and hunting with her husband and being a dog mom to their Doberman,
Pilot.
