Nutrition Facts

WHAT IS A REGISTERED NUTRITIONIST?

Nutritionists are highly qualified health practitioners who have been trained in human physiology and development, management and the health of populations. Their training has been focused on the role of proper nutrition in promoting a healthy body and mind.

A Nutritionist provides quality advice on nutrition, food, and healthy eating. A Dietitian’s main role in private practice is to counsel and support clients to make changes in their eating habits to promote health and prevent or manage chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

LIVE HEALTHY. CONSULT A NUTRITIONIST

Healthy eating is all about balance. All foods can be a part of a healthy lifestyle, and our dietitians would like to show you how! We are passionate about helping people reach their individual health or sports performance goals and we would love to make Newfoundland and Labrador a healthier province.

Newfoundland and Labrador earned the lowest score of all the provinces in Canada on the most recent health report card (2015), getting a D minus. A huge concern highlighted from this report is the rate of obesity in our province. Our nutritionists have focused much of their time in completing extra training in the area of weight loss and have developed professional weight loss programs. Through diet and lifestyle changes, we change the statistics!

Additionally, our nutritionists are committed to becoming among the top sports nutrition professionals in the country! Sports nutrition is becoming more popular in Canada, and our nutritionists are on their way to helping Newfoundland and Labrador’s athletes perform at their best!
