Nutrition Services
Registered Dietitians are uniquely trained to translate complex scientific evidence into practical solutions that support Canadians in improving their health and preventing disease.
A Registered Dietitian will work with you to develop an action plan that meets your specific dietary and lifestyle needs, following a thorough review of your medical, social, and dietary history.
Our Registered Dietitians can help with healthy eating, weight management, and sports nutrition.
Our Registered Dietitians offer predominantly virtual sessions, for flexibility and ease of access. We do have in-clinic appointments too, if you prefer in-person consultations.
What’s the difference between a Registered Dietitian and a Nutritionist?
The title “Registered Dietitian” is protected by law, meaning that only those who have met certain criteria are able to practice as a dietitian. For example, they must possess a Bachelor’s of Science in Nutrition from an accredited University and complete an internship of a minimum of 1250 hours just to name a couple.
“Nutritionist” is not a protected title in the province of Ontario, meaning that anyone can call themselves a nutritionist, without being liable for the advice they provide.
If you want to learn more about the criteria a Registered Dietitian must meet, the College of Dietitians of Ontario outlines their requirements by clicking this link here.
Women’s Health and Dietetics
Navigating the impact of hormones on our bodies can be complicated and overwhelming, especially for women during transitionary periods like perimenopause and menopause.
Our Registered Dietitians are passionate about women’s health and nutrition. In particular, helping women going through perimenopause and menopause and the changes that occur during this progression in life. They aim to guide women through these shifts by offering insight into nutritional methods that can help them manage the challenges they may be facing.
Our Registered Dietitians can help with navigating hormonal changes, support bone and heart health, manage weight, and feeling your best with realistic, evidence-based nutrition strategies.
Fueling Your Performance: Unlocking the Power of Sports Nutrition with a Registered Dietitian
Each athlete has unique needs when it comes to fuelling for sports performance. An athlete’s genetics, level of competition, personal preferences, and the sport in question all play an important role when it comes to optimizing nutrition. What’s more, an athlete’s nutritional needs can vary throughout the year depending on changes in training load and the sports season.
Naturally, athletes can find it challenging to navigate fuelling for sport on their own – and that’s where a sports dietitian comes in!
Working with a dietitian that focuses on sports nutrition can help optimize your nutrition to maximize sports performance by focusing on optimizing an athlete's diet to support their training, performance, recovery, and overall well-being.
