We are all aware that this pandemic has affected all of our lives one way or another. Nonetheless, we must remind ourselves that we have to continue to take care of ourselves. It may be difficult to keep up with our health, but we can simply begin with what we put in our bodies. Before the pandemic, UC Davis nutrition services were available at Living Well in the ARC. These resources will continue to be available for students through free, virtual remote appointments.
In order to successfully book an appointment with one of our nutrition peer counselors follow these steps:
1. Head to the Campus Recreation website : https://campusrecreation.ucdavis.edu/
2. Once on the website, move your mouse over to the second tab that states “Programs and Facilities”. You will get a list of all of the programs and centers available for UC Davis students and community. Once you see the list, click on the “Living Well” tab.
3. On the Living Well page, you will see all the virtual services that will be available. As you scroll down, you will see a box on the right hand of your screen titled “Living Well”. Then, click on the “Resources tab”
4. You will now be on the “Resources” page. Scroll down and click on the “Nutrition Services”. Clicking on the link “here” you will be able to gather information on all the peer counselors.
5. Under “Nutrition Consultation”, click on the word “form” to fill out a health and nutrition questionnaire. This will allow the counselors to have an idea of your health and nutrition status. This form is optional, but can give you and the counselor a good place to start during your consultation.
6. After filling out the questionnaire and deciding on your preferred counselor, email l the Living Well Center at livewell@campusrec.ucdavis.edu. Let them know that you want to book an appointment with a counselor . The staff will work with you to book an appointment within the availability of your requested nutrition peer counselor.
