Nutrition Coaching

Nutrition Coaching provides Brandeis students, faculty, and staff with a convenient and affordable opportunity to meet their health goals. Our nutrition coach is nationally certified through NASM and is prepared to assist you in any of the following nutrition domains: 

  • Weight Loss (losing fat) 
  • Weight gain (gaining healthy fat and muscle)*
  • Body Recomposition (losing fat and gaining/preserving muscle)*
  •  Performance enhancement (improving diet to maximize athletic performance) 

*For individuals looking to gain muscle (weight gain or body recomposition), it is highly recommended that resistance training is performed either on your own or with one of our personal trainers. While existing muscle can be preserved during body recomposition, some form of exercise is vital for stimulating muscle growth. More information about personal training and other fitness classes can be found on our website https://www.brandeisjudges.com/recreation/fitness/pt/index.

Single Sessions:

Individuals with short-term needs may purchase a 30-minute or 60-minute session. This single session is best for individuals who are simply looking for a reivew of their diet, who want general advice or coaching tips, or ho have nutrition questions that they want to be answered without needing a long-term coaching plan.

          30-minute session: $25

Clients looking for long-term plans will first schedule either a 30- or 60-minute meeting with the coach, in which they will share information concerning their health goals, current nutrition habits, and history of prior experience with making dietary changes. Clients will pay the fee for this initial session upfront.

After the initial session, clients will schedule a second meeting with their coach to collaborate on a plan and discuss how to best move forward. Clients will be required to pay the full price of the program they wish to purchase at this second session.

Nutrition coaching programs are offered by length and meeting frequency. Clients can choose among a 4, 8, or 12-week programs; for each of these programs, they  can meet with their coach either once per week, twice per week to check-in.  These “check-in” meetings are 30 minutes in length.  During these sessions, clients will have the opportunity to review their goals created during the last check-in, discuss what they've been struggling with between check-in meetings, and create new goals for the next check-in.
