Kylie Blodgett serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health and Human Performance within the College of Arts & Sciences at Norwich University. A Certified Health Education Specialist, her work integrates psychology and physiology to address health and behavior in college populations through evidence-based interventions.
Her educational background includes:
- Ph.D. in Health Education and Promotion, Walden University
- M.S. in Nutritional Sciences, University of New Hampshire
- M.S. in Kinesiology, University of Michigan
- B.S. in Biology, Norwich University
Blodgett's research centers on stress, resilience, and health behaviors, with particular focus on how social environments impact eating behaviors and physiological responses among college students. She develops campus-wide initiatives to enhance mental/physical health through interdisciplinary approaches combining endocrinology, nutrition, and behavioral psychology.
Her recent publication on sarcopenia interventions exemplifies her methodological rigor in systematic reviews and clinical nutrition research. This work aligns with her broader scholarly trajectory examining physiological-behavioral interactions, particularly in female populations and aging-related health outcomes.
No specific scientific awards or honors were documented in the source materials.
Blodgett actively mentors student researchers in grant-funded projects including the SAMHSA-supported "Front-Line Project" for campus mental health and the VBRN-funded Resilient Bodies initiative. She emphasizes collaborative research design, critical feedback, and real-world application of findings to improve student wellness outcomes.
She leads a multidisciplinary research consortium involving the Counseling and Wellness Center (Nicole Krotinger), Restore Hyperwellness (Rachele Pojednic on the THRiVe Study), and Health and Exercise Science faculty (Amy Welch), creating integrated assessment frameworks for campus resilience interventions.
