Ask the Dietitian is a great way to ask quick questions or get basic nutrition information. The dietitian will determine if the question can be addressed through an email response or if a formal one on one nutrition appointment with a dietitian is more appropriate. Please e-mail nutrition@ua.edu to Ask the Dietitian!
The dietitian at the Student Health Center offers presentations for groups on a variety of nutrition topics. Below are just a few:
Learning objectives for each presentation are geared towards participants gaining a better understanding of nutrition topics for making independent food choices based on applied nutrition knowledge. Additional objectives for each session also include participants being able to identify credible nutrition resources on the internet and becoming a critical consumer of health messaging on social media and other sites.
The Health Promotion and Wellness registered dietitian provides routine grocery store tours and cooking demos to help students feel more equipped to shop on a budget and prepare meals for themselves. Students may email nutrition@ua.edu to inquire about these services and can also following @WellnessatUA on Instagram for cooking demo and grocery store tour dates and times.
