Duke Diet and Fitness

Meet the Experts

The Duke Diet & Fitness Online program gives you at-home access to the resources of the Duke Diet & Fitness Center (DFC) — and one of the DFC's most valuable resources is surely its knowledgeable staff of health care professionals, who have helped create this program every step of the way!

They know all about the issues faced by people just like you who are trying to make healthy lifestyle changes. As expert consultants to Duke Diet & Fitness Online, they are on hand to provide up-to-date information about nutrition, fitness, behavioral health, and medical conditions. We invite you to get to know them!
