Kimberly P. Kinzig studies how the brain and hormones regulate eating behavior, body weight, and metabolism, using animal (rodent) models. Her work examines topics such as diet-induced obesity, ketogenic diets, stress-related weight changes, and models of eating disorders like activity-based anorexia, often looking at how these relate to sex differences, hormones (like estrogen), and behaviors such as anxiety and sociability.

Publication output has been uneven over the last decade, with bursts of activity (e.g., 2017, 2020) followed by gaps with no recorded publications (2021–2023), and a modest, low-frequency pace in recent years.
