Nutrition visits are collaborative and empowering spaces to learn and practice self-care. First sessions (45-60 minutes) are opportunities for us to learn more about you, your goals, context, preferences, questions, etc. Follow-up sessions (30-60 minutes) can be used for accountability, goal setting, further education, or problem-solving.
A 60-minute nutrition consultation involves a thorough diet assessment, an evaluation of your nutritional status, and goal setting to help you change your nutrition behavior. Follow up appointments are available since most consultations take one to three visits. Scheduling a nutrition appointment is easy, and a referral is not required. Students can book an appointment online through the VadenPatient portal or by calling 650- 498-2336, ext. 1. If you have medical concerns, please consider scheduling an appointment with a Medical Services clinician before scheduling an appointment with the nutritionist.

There is a no-show charge for patients who cancel an appointment with less than 24 hours notice or who do not show up for their scheduled appointment.
