Katherine Bell Hill, MD, FAAP

Katherine Hill, MD - Athleat Health

Hi there, I’m Dr. Katherine Hill, a board-certified physician with expertise in sports nutrition, REDs, and eating disorders in athletes. I first got interested in this field when I was an NCAA Division I swimmer and embarked on a research project on disordered eating in collegiate athletes.

After going through my own medical saga with an autoimmune disease while in college, I was compelled to become a physician and combine my passion for medicine with caring for athletes. I was fortunate to be able to train and work at Stanford where, as a faculty member in the Division of Adolescent Medicine, I received firsthand clinical experience in their world class eating disorder program. I then had the tremendous opportunity of serving as the lead medical doctor at Equip Health for nearly 5 years where I met my colleague and co-founder of AthleatMD, Megan. 

In addition to my role as a physician, I’m a wife, mother of 3, and reside in Decatur, Georgia. I enjoy playing tennis recreationally and even swim occasionally when the conditions are perfect! My favorite part of medicine is getting to know my patients well as individuals and following them on their journey over time. Please reach out if I can be of assistance to you or a loved one. I hope to meet you soon!
