Dietitian

Meet your nutritional goals and improve your relationship with food by meeting with our registered dietitian. These one-on-one nutrition counseling appointments can help you identify gaps in your diet or how to get the nutrition you need within your dietary restrictions.

Topics covered by our dietitian can include general diet improvements, disordered eating recovery, medical nutrition therapy (diabetes, heart health, celiac disease, etc.), prenatal and postpartum nutrition, and more. Dietitian appointments are available to all students, faculty, and staff at UVU.
