What is Nutrition Counseling?

In a nutrition counseling appointment, the campus dietitian works with a student to assess their dietary patterns and provides education, strategies and personalized feedback.

Appointments can be made with the campus dietitian for a variety of reasons:

  • Establish a basic healthy eating pattern
  • Weight management
  • Food allergies, sensitives or intolerance
  • Balanced vegetarian or vegan diets
  • Diabetes medical nutrition therapy
  • Disordered eating — bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa and binge eating disorder
  • Intuitive eating skills
  • Sports nutrition specifically tailored to student athletes
  • High cholesterol
  • High blood pressure
  • Gastrointestinal issues
  • Nutrient deficiencies
  • Prenatal nutrition

Lifestyle changes are encouraged in the form of nutrition and physical activity. This approach is found to increase a person’s ability to reach and maintain a healthy weight for life rather than the usual dieting approach that creates only temporary results. Each counseling appointment is individualized and focuses on creating a collaborative, supportive environment for lasting behavior change. Whether you are interested in a one-time meeting or multiple sessions, an individualized plan can be developed for you.
