Nutrition Counseling Philadelphia School District Staff

Nutrition counseling is a free one-on-one service between you and our  registered dietitian. Our registered dietitian will help you navigate  your dietary and nutrition needs as it relates to your health and  wellness concerns.  Our nutrition counseling services provide a  personalize experience, meaning our registered dietitian will create a  dietary plan and provide tips and strategies based on your specific  needs rather than providing you with a "one-size fits all" approach.
