Student Health Services provides nutrition education for the Temple University student community. Nutrition counseling sessions offer individualized evidence-based nutrition information to guide students in achieving a balanced and healthy approach to meal planning and eating issues.

Consultations focus on the relationship between nutrition, health and well-being, and disease management. The initial appointment, one hour, involves a thorough assessment of dietary habits, a nutrition status evaluation, and goal setting for behavior change. Follow-up appointments, thirty minutes, are available as needed.

Students can make appointments to talk with the dietitian about topics that include the following:

• Healthy eating
• High cholesterol
• Diabetes education
• Eating disorders
• Sports nutrition
• Vegetarianism
• Weight management
• Digestive disorders (lactose intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome)

To make an appointment with the dietitian, call 215-204-7500.

There is no charge for students who pay the Student Services Fee.
