Good nutrition is the cornerstone of a healthy lifestyle. Whether
you are eating a relatively healthy diet or have limited nutrition
knowledge, the Duke Health and Fitness Center can help you through
our group and individual nutrition programs.
For members and non-members, we offer individual nutrition consultations
with a registered dietitian.
Our consultations are helpful for people looking to lose weight or medical issues including diabetes, cancer,
heart disease, hypertension, or for those who just want to improve
their diet. Our dietitians also counsel clients on how to improve
athletic performance through a dietary program.
For those with the goal of weight loss, we also offer weight loss consult packages with a dietitian, exercise physiologist, and psychotherapist as well as our eight-week weight loss program called Getting on Track.
Additionally, we offer RMR (resting metabolic rate) testing and consultations.
This test can determine the exact number of calories you need based
on your metabolism. From this number, we can interpret your total
energy needs with activity and exercise, giving you a complete picture
of how to develop your daily food plan. The RMR is helpful if you
are frustrated with your weight loss progress since it gives you your
most accurate calorie needs for weight control.
Nutrition counseling is available Monday through Friday. To find out more about our nutrition services, inquire about membership, or schedule an appointment, call
