Healthy eating and nutrition issues are prevalent concerns on many college campuses. TSHC offers FREE nutrition counseling to all fee-paying students. Services are provided by registered, licensed dieticians. Below you will find out how to make an appointment and what to expect during your visit.

Visit the TSHC Nutrition Web site for interesting and fun nutrition information, including recipes, a BMI calculator, and answers to common nutrition questions. Also, you can post an “ask the nutritionist” question online. Students interested in getting involved in nutrition and health-related issues on campus can also find information on the peer education group SUNN (Students for Understanding Nutrition Now).

Making an Appointment

Appointments may be made by calling 644- 8871, Monday-Friday, 8:00 to 4:30. Or, you may stop by the 4th floor at room 402 to schedule an appointment.

Your Visit

You will probably be asked to fill out a brief questionnaire which will ask questions about your eating pattern and food choices and any concerns you have with your eating or diet. If you bring in a 3-day food intake record when you come for your appointment, it will help make the session more practical and personalized.

Appointments are scheduled at 45 minute intervals, but your session may last 20 minutes to 45 minutes, depending on the nature of the visit. During this time some of the things the Nutritionist will do is help you set some personal goals, discuss how to make dietary changes, make specific diet and nutrition recommendations, and/or answer any specific questions you may have.
