Eating properly should be easy, right? Unfortunately, it isn’t. With the immense variety of foods on the market and the onslaught of nutrition information and misinformation that we are bombarded with daily, healthy eating can be downright confusing.
Some fad diets will tell you to minimize your carbohydrate intake, while others tell you to fill up on protein. Others suggest skipping meals or using meal replacement drinks, which are often full of chemicals and additives. On one diet, you may lose 20 pounds in a month, but four months later, you find you’ve gained 25 pounds. One day you read an article that raves about how a certain food boosts immunity to certain illnesses, and the next day you read that it’s been linked to cancer in laboratory animals.
I will help you sort through the confusion by staying abreast of the latest nutrition and fitness studies and findings, and passing that knowledge on to you! In addition, I will teach you how to make healthy eating a natural part of your lifestyle, and not something that you have to grapple with.
What Does a Dietitian Do?
As a Registered Dietitian, I can provide customized nutrition and fitness plans for you, your family, your company, or a group. I offer multiple locations serving the greater Toronto area.
What is a Dietitian?
A Dietitian is a healthcare professional with a Bachelor’s degree in the study of food and nutrition. A dietitian puts knowledge into practice by training in a hospital or similar setting. Many dietitians have graduate degrees as well. All dietitians must meet Public Protection standards.
What is the difference between a Dietitian and a Nutritionist?
A nutritionist is defined in the same way as a Dietitian in some provinces; however, other provinces allow those with less education and training to call themselves Nutritionists.
What is a Registered Dietitian?
A Registered Dietitian, typically designated as an RD, is a dietitian who meets national standards for education and training, in addition to Public Protection standards, and is regulated by provincial bodies. I am a Registered Dietitian, meaning that you will be consulting a highly trained professional who consistently meets the highest of standards.
I am committed to helping clients achieve their health, nutritional, and fitness goals by incorporating healthy habits into their routine.

I will also support, educate, and provide motivation and encouragement over the long-term.
