Nutrition Clinic

BGSU Nutrition Clinic

Misson

The BGSU Nutrition Clinic connects education and service by providing supervised, hands-on learning experiences for students preparing for careers in nutrition and dietetics while delivering evidence-based nutrition care to the populations we serve.

Services

Supervised by licensed registered dietitians, our dietetic interns gain hands-on experience delivering evidence-based nutrition care.

We focus on common nutrition and health needs, including:

Heart health (high blood pressure or high cholesterol)
Weight and metabolic health
Prediabetes and diabetes prevention
Sports nutrition
General nutrition, health, and wellness

Nutrition Education: Guidance on healthy eating and lifestyle habits.

Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT): Evidence-based counseling to manage select medical conditions. Because the Nutrition Clinic is a student educational experience, individuals with complex medical needs or those requiring specialized or ongoing nutrition care should be referred to an appropriate community provider.

Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP): A year-long, virtual program for adults at high risk for type 2 diabetes, focusing on lifestyle changes. Individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes are not eligible. Learn more about DPP
