Event Description
Work with a Drexel University Registered Dietitian (RD) to
meet your nutritional goals. Our expert dietitians will serve as your advocate
for living a more energized and healthy life. You will learn research-based approaches
will provide you with the necessary tools for sustainable diet and lifestyle
changes that best support your health and well-being. Learn to improve your eating habits, plan
meals, select snacks, for overall health, to enhance athletic performance, or
manage diseases through therapeutic diets for better health and healing. Six
sessions with an RD are recommended because lifestyle changes take time to
incorporate.
Drexel employees may be entitled to six 1-hour nutrition counseling
sessions per year at no cost through their Independence Blue Cross insurance
plan. Please call your insurance provider to verify your benefits or contact
Parkway Health and Wellness at the number below to inquire about your coverage.

diabetes, hypertension, kidney failure and obesity. If you are not using insurance, the
fees are as follows: Initial
consult: $120.00, 15-minute re-visit: $50.00, each additional 15 minutes:
$25.00.
