Nutrition Counseling Services

Individual nutrition counseling services are available to GCU students through the Canyon Health and Wellness Clinic. Our goal is to help students live their healthiest lives by tailoring their diets to meet their personal nutrition needs. A few reasons to seek nutrition counseling include:

  • General health and wellness
  • Food allergy or intolerance
  • Eating disorders or disordered eating
  • Special diets (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, etc.)
  • Weight management
  • Digestive disorders
  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Sports performance

Nutrition counseling is provided by a registered dietitian (RD). RDs are food and nutrition experts who can translate the science of nutrition into practical solutions for healthy living. RDs use their nutrition expertise to help individuals make positive lifestyle changes. Some services an RD can provide include:

  • Setting realistic nutrition goals and developing strategies for achieving them
  • Maintaining a healthy, well-balanced eating pattern
  • Planning nutritious meals with limited financial resources
  • Making healthy choices at on-campus eateries
  • Identifying signs and symptoms of disordered eating
  • Making appropriate referrals

Appointments are free to all GCU students and can be scheduled by calling the Canyon Health and Wellness Clinic at 602-639-6215.
