The Benefits of Staffing a Nutritionist at Your University

Everybody, including evolving university students, has different relationships with food and nutrition. GKM always wants to promote nutrition and confidence hand-in-hand, which is why staffing a Nutritionist at our university accounts (when possible) upon award of contract is so beneficial. ​

Here are several reasons why we believe making Nutritionists readily available to both students and faculty at universities is the way to go:

1. Personalized Advice

Every body is different. This means that what might work for one person, may not work for another. Having a Nutritionist to sit down with and get into the in-depth details of activity, diet, and relationships with food makes means that more personalized advice can be given.

2. ​Confidentiality

Privacy regarding certain topics pertaining to food or nutrition is essential for some. That is why all meetings set up with the Nutritionist are always confidential with no judgement whatsoever. Respecting privacy and boundaries is an absolute must for GKM.

3. ​Free Access to Nutrition Education

Generating nutrition education, especially when it is a personalized plan, can be an expensive and, at times, unattainable process. Making this easily accessible and free is a complete game changer.

Of course, there are several other amazing benefits of staffing a Nutritionist.
