Nutrition Care at Husky Health Center
Husky Health Center offers nutrition education and counseling services to UW Seattle students with our Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). Meeting with an RDN can provide you with guidance for nutrition-related medical concerns, as well as support for eating healthy on campus, budget friendly meals, and more.
In your first appointment, you will review your medical history and discuss nutrition-related goals, concerns, and questions for your specific needs. Together, you will develop a plan for behavior change that supports healthy living and an active lifestyle. Our RDN promotes a weight-neutral, non-diet approach to healthy eating and encourages self-compassion and body acceptance.
My approach to nutrition is conversational. I want to create a comfortable space where students feel heard and supported in their health goals. There is no one-size-fits-all with nutrition, so I want to tailor my guidance to each individual’s needs.
