Nutrition Counseling

Discover your personal nutrition needs by scheduling an appointment with a registered dietitian. These sessions are tailored to meet your needs and interests, and will give you the opportunity to ask questions about good nutrition. A registered dietitian will evaluate your actual food intake over a three-day period to determine if you are meeting the nutritional needs your sport or lifestyle demands.

Topics that may be covered during these sessions include improving your body composition, how to achieve healthy muscle and weight gain, adequate hydration and eating for optimal athletic performance.

Sports nutrition counseling is a fee-for-service program. Visits are 30-60 minutes and cost $60/hour. Payment is due on date of service. Contact your insurance provider to see if you qualify for partial reimbursement.
