Dr. Liebeskind is an expert in lipidology, the study of cholesterol.  She was one of the first diplomates of the American Board of Clinical Lipidology.  She also holds board certifications in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, meaning that she treats both adults and children with cholesterol problems.  Dr. Liebeskind started the first combined pediatric and adult lipids clinic in North East Wisconsin in 2006 while working for Affinity Health System.  During her time at Affinity, she worked with colleagues at Mayo Clinic to create Affinity Health System's COURAGE program, which was later offered by Network Health Plan.  She also worked with doctors from across the Fox Valley to bring the first LDL Apheresis Program to NorthEast Wisconsin.  (LDL Apheresis is a process for lowering cholesterol in people with very severe genetic diseases.) 

Dr. Liebeskind is an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Pediatrics for the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and a Faculty Member of the National Lipids Association's Foundations of Lipidology course.  She is an expert in Familial Hypercholesterolemia, and other genetic cholesterol diseases.  She is a past president of the Midwest Lipid Association.  She also serves as a national board member of the National Lipid Association and as Vice President of the Foundation of the National Lipid Association. She is an advisory board member for the Wisconsin Medical Alumni Association (UW School of Medicine and Public Health). In 2018 and again in 2021 and 2023 she was awarded the Midwest Lipid Association's Chapter President's Service Award during the National Lipid Association Scientific Sessions.  She has spoken nationally for the National Lipid Association, American College of Cardiology and the American Academy of Pediatrics on topics such as lipid management and medical practice management.  A Wisconsin native, she is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin Medical School and completed her internship and residency in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at the University of Kentucky Hospital.  

In 2014, Dr. Liebeskind was also named a regional expert in pediatric obesity, serving as a designated Childhood Obesity Advisor for Continuing Health (COACH) for the American Academy of Pediatrics. 

Mobile Health Team Founder

Blending her expertise in cholesterol with her fascination with technology, she created an innovative medical practice, Mobile Health Team, in 2014.  Using both of these passions, she has also developed tools for kids and families to foster healthy lifestyles. By providing better tools and support, Liebeskind hopes to help patients improve their cholesterol and achieve healthier futures.  In 2015, she published 'Adventures in Cholesterol', a 28 page graphic novel created to empower children and parents in managing their cholesterol.  She is the founder of Homework For Health, an online teaching resource to help healthcare practitioners, educators and families manage cholesterol.  

Passions and Practice Philosophy:

'Although my passions include cholesterol and technology, I feel that the healthy integration of work with family is a must.  I love being a Mom and Wife most of all and I feel that those roles bring me a healthy...and often humbled...perspective towards self-improvement and finding your optimal health. I  know that there will always be setbacks and roadblocks, but the journey is worth taking.  I love working with Mobile Health Team's lifestyle experts to treat the whole person, not just their cholesterol numbers.  I hope that by providing better tools and support, I will help my patients improve their cholesterol and move towards healthier futures.

Favorite Activity To Do With Your Kids

Anything outside—boating, skiing, hiking, or just going for walks together.

Favorite Meal to Make With or For Your Kids

Roasted vegetables. Roasting brings out their natural sweetness; I tell my kids they taste like candy. They don’t really buy it, but it’s their favorite way to enjoy veggies.

Favorite Parenting Moment

Watching them grow overnight! Enjoying that transition from complete dependence to independence. Watching them learn from mistakes, celebrate milestones, challenge themselves, and become their own unique, amazing selves.

“I love the ‘aha’ moment – after you have educated, encouraged and motivated someone and they see their hard work starting to pay off. It’s very rewarding to help someone achieve their goals.”

Professional Background

I started my career off as an accountant, but always dreamt of having a job that involved food and fitness. I decided to change careers after my husband and I relocated to Pennsylvania. I have been able to work in different areas of dietetics including healthcare and in a corporate setting, and I’m happy to say that after 10 years of being in the field I still greatly enjoy helping people make positive changes in their lives.

Favorite Activity To Do With Your Kids

Our family plants a garden every year and we enjoy the whole process from planting the seeds to harvesting the veggies. My daughter and I love to do bike rides/runs – she rides her bike while I run with her. She loves to be the ‘carrot’ and have me chase her! We all love the beach and to swim and collect shells. We have two very energetic dogs that we enjoy walking and playing fetch with.

Favorite Parenting Moments

Those times when you hear your children talk or watch how they act and think – oh, that came from me. Sometimes you think “uh oh, that came from me” too!

Activities I Enjoy

I enjoy motivating people so much that I pace three local half marathons every year in order to help complete strangers triumphantly cross that finish line. I’m an active volunteer, most recently at the Oshkosh Senior Center and at my children’s school. We are very active in Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. I’m the cookie mom for my daughter’s troop and the treasurer for my son’s troop.

“I’d like to think that a friendly greeting and a smile will make every patient that walks through the door feel welcomed, good about themselves and respected. What I like about working with patients is when they smile back.”

Time spent with my husband of forty-three years playing and caring for our three little dogs, sharing grandparent time, exercising and of course, vacation.

Favorite Parenting Moments

Watching our three adult children succeed in their careers, marriages, and parenting and share in the joy and love of our grandchildren. Although I have to admit watching my grandchildren challenge their parents is definitely a plus.

Favorite Parenting Moments 

After a rough day, those sweet moments when one of my boys says 'I love you' and gives you a hug without any prompting!

Activities I Enjoy

I love running and being an active member of Fox Cities Moms RUN This Town running club. I enjoy checking out different local restaurants and dinner dates with my husband. Our family lived in Florida for 3 years, so I also really grew to love just hanging out and soaking up the serenity of a beach (aka 'beach therapy').

Education

• UW-Madison BSN 2009

8 years of inpatient nursing at UW-Hospital in Madison, helped me to realize I wanted my focus to be on helping keep people out of the hospital. I’m delighted to be a part of a team that focuses on helping people achieve their highest quality of life for as long as possible.

I’m a lifelong athlete and enjoy sharing my passion with others as a fitness professional and volunteer basketball coach for my children.

My favorite part of being an RN is earning the right to hear people’s stories. For me, healthcare is not just about treating disease, it’s about treating people.

The best part of my job is connecting with patients and assisting them on their path to better health.  It is a privilege when a patient allows you to become a part of their journey and I find it so rewarding to see their achievements along the way.
