Registered Dietitians are your trusted nutrition experts.

Dietitians are uniquely trained to advise you on food and nutrition.

In every province, practicing dietitians are regulated, so you can be sure you are getting safe and ethical advice.

• restaurant choices or give you tips for eating on the run
• the best way to achieve and maintain a healthy weight
• special eating plans for medical conditions
• what to eat when you are pregnant or planning to have a baby
• what to eat after surgery
• how to read food and nutrition labels
• how to be a healthy vegetarian
• and more!

A physician’s referral is required for an individual appointment with the dietitian. For information call 519-235-5160.
