What is a Registered Dietitian?

Registered Dietitians (RDs) are food and nutrition experts who have completed extnsive education and training. They take complex nutrition science and turn it into simple, practical advice for healthy living. RDs are trained to understand and address nutritional problems and they tailor their advice to fit each person's specific needs and preferences.

The Non-Diet Approach

At The Nutrition Nook, we support a non-diet approach to health and wellness. Unlike traditional diets that focus on strict rules and restrictions, our approach emphasizes:

1. Intuitive Eating

Intuitive eating is about listening to your body's hunger and fullness signals, and enjoying your cravings without guilt. It helps you trust yourself and develop a healthy relationship with food. Our registered dietitians will guide you through this journey, helping you find joy in eating and making peace with food.

2. Improving Your Relationship with Food

We understand that food is not just fuel; Food is more than just fuel; it is part of our culture, traditions, and social life. We aim to help you build a positive relationship with food, free from guilt and shame. We'll work with you to challenge harmful thoughts and behaviors about food, promoting self-compassion and acceptance.

3. Supporting Intuitive Movement

Exercise should be enjoyable, not a punishment. We believe in intuitive movement, which means finding physical activities that you love and that make you feel good. Whether it's dancing, hiking, or yoga, our team will help you discover activities that nourish your body and soul without the pressure of strict exercise routines.

A discovery call with a registered dietitian is a free 15-minute phone conversation. During this call, the dietitian will explain the services they offer, get to know you, and understand your needs and goals. It’s a chance for you to ask questions and see if their approach is a good fit for you. This call helps both you and the dietitian decide how to best work together to improve your health and nutrition.

Intitial Assessment ($160 + gst):

An initial assessment is a 60-minute session where a dietitian looks at your health and nutrition. They will ask about your medical history, eating habits, lifestyle, and health goals. Using this information, they will help you set realistic, personalized goals and create a nutrition plan just for you. The dietitian will also explain how your eating habits affect your health and give you practical tips for making healthier choices. This assessment is the first step towards reaching your nutrition and wellness goals.
