Health Center
Nutrition and Eating Concerns
Welcome to Pepperdine Nutrition Services!
My name is Katherine McCune and I am a Registered Dietitian and Nutrition Educator at the Student Health Center. We are located in Row Parking Lot off of Towers Road.
Nutrition counseling and education is designed to help prevent nutrition-related health problems (including eating disorders, disordered eating, overweight/obesity, size prejudice, and poor nutrient intake) which can threaten students’ academic and developmental success.
Nutrition Services will provide you with current information about food, nutrition and popular diets. We would like to help you adjust to the unique challenges that students face in the areas of meal planning, body image and nutritional well being.
I hope you will depend upon Nutrition Services here at the SHC for your main source of nutrition information whether it concerns meal planning, diets, vitamin supplementation or sports nutrition.
