Cuesta NEAT Nutrition Education Action Team

The Cuesta Student Health Services and Nutrition Department have teamed up to offer a free program to students: NEAT (Nutrition Education Action Team). Students can come to the Health Center and meet with a peer educator to learn about nutrition, discuss their personalized diet analysis,  and set positive lifestyle and nutritional goals such as nutrition for athletics, fitness, weight changes, or just to get a few ideas for SMART goal changes after discussing their diet analysis.

  • All of our Nutrition peer educators have completed the full weekend Cal Poly Bacchus peer education training certification, the Cuesta College Mental Health Training, 3 Nutrition courses, an Independent Study course with me, and an international nutrition conference.  They use the Esha Research Nutrition Calc Diet Analysis Software, which is more detailed and meaningful than current free Apps.
  • Each session is 30 minutes, confidential, fun, and free for enrolled Cuesta students! Contact us for more info.
  • Visit Campus Well to learn more about healthy choices, fun recipes, well tips,  nutrition and more.
  • CalFresh is a California financial aid program that helps students buy food and eat healthier. It won’t affect your financial aid and you don’t need your parent's tax return information to apply.
