Nutrition Services

Feeling overwhelmed or confused when it comes to healthy eating? UHS dietitians and nutrition coaches are available to provide you with one-on-one support. We use a non-diet, weight-neutral, and "all foods fit" approach to help you improve your relationships to food and body. We aim to help you learn to make choices that honor your overall health and wellness.

What is nutrition counseling?

Get help from licensed dietitians with navigating lifestyle changes when dealing with conditions such as pre-diabetes, diabetes, high cholesterol, disordered eating, GI concerns, food allergies, PCOS, and more.

Common Topics

• Disordered eating/eating disorders
• Tips for meal planning and grocery shopping given your unique dietary preferences, food allergies, cultural food needs, etc.
• Assistance with managing medical illness/conditions that have a nutrition component (PCOS, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, iron deficiency anemia, gastrointestinal concerns, etc.)
• Recommendations for referrals to other campus resources as needed (counseling, physical therapy, medical provider, etc.)

What is nutrition coaching?

Trained peer nutrition coaches can help you reach realistic wellness goals and separate fact from fiction when it comes to nutrition. Get tips and resources to help with making balanced eating a reality. Coaches can provide nutritional guidance that does not involve assistance with managing a medical illness/condition.

• Tips for meal planning and grocery shopping given your unique dietary preferences, cultural food needs, etc.
