Changing Poor Eating Habits Caused by Stress
Linda Gigliotti, director the UC Irvine Weight Management Program, is a registered dietitian with a master’s degree in nutrition education. Her expertise is in weight management and lifestyle modification, working with clients to make choices to manage their health. Gigliotti holds annual meetings with medical students at UC Irvine to discuss issues of nutrition and health. She knows that students stressed by classwork often acquire poor habits (and extra pounds) by eating cheap, available, fast food. She teaches students how to avoid that trap and develop a healthier diet. Contact Linda Gigliotti at 949-824-8770 or lmgiglio@uci.edu.
