We can help you develop an individualized eating plan to meet your specific needs, and ensure you are including a variety of healthy foods, and some foods that are simply enjoyable to eat.

Common Concerns

• Energy
  Nutrition counseling can provide tips for proper fueling throughout the day and help you feel healthier and more energized. We can help you establish a personalized plan that focuses on what to eat and when.
• General Nutrition
  Maybe you just want to eat well, improve fitness, navigate the dining halls, or need help with vegetarian and vegan diets. We can also help with buying and preparing foods.
• Medical Nutrition Therapy
  Nutrition counseling can help address gastrointestinal conditions such as irritable bowel, Crohn’s disease, or gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD); cardiovascular risk factors such as elevated cholesterol, hypertension, and/or high triglycerides; diabetes, pre-diabetes, and hypoglycemia; and other conditions like food allergies, celiac disease, lactose and gluten intolerance.
• Weight Management
  Students may need help with unintended weight loss or weight gain. Using a non-diet approach, students can be helped using a variety of methods such as intuitive and mindful eating.
• Sports Performance
  We can help athletes achieve optimal performance through fueling and hydrating their bodies, increasing muscle mass, recovery nutrition, or pre-event eating recommendations.
• Disordered Eating / Eating Disorders
  If you are experiencing problems with food and body image, you may be afraid to eat, or eating too much. Working with a nutritionist can help get you back on track.
