Dietitians use the science of nutrition to help you understand the connection between food and health.

Dietitians are regulated health professionals who use expertise in food and nutrition to improve health and wellness. A dietitian can help translate scientific, medical and nutrition information into a practical, personal nutrition plan to meet your specific needs.

Your dietitian can coach you through diet and lifestyle changes as you work to achieve your goals or manage disease. They will offer personalized guidance and suggest practical guidelines you can use to make nutritious food choices that are right for you.

Dietitians can also:

  • Help you and your family members achieve and maintain wellness by developing a healthy lifestyle unique to your needs
  • Work with you if you are physically active or a serious athlete to meet sports nutrition needs
  • Help you with label reading and grocery shopping
  • Analyze and adapt your favourite recipes to meet your lifestyle and health needs

Canadian dietitians are held to high professional standards and are regulated under the Health Professions Act, Dietitians Regulation and the Certified Dietitians of B.C. bylaws. Dietitian services are covered by many extended health benefit plans and insurance providers in B.C.
