Nutrition Services


What is a dietitian?

Registered dietitians (RDs) are regulated health professionals just like doctors and nurses. In Ontario, the regulatory body is the College of Dietitians of Ontario. Their job is to match your personal nutrition needs with the most updated scientific information and advise you about the connection between food and health.

What can a dietitian help you with?

Dietitians can support you through various stages in life and/or with various health conditions. At EKNPLC, our RD will work closely with your NP to give guidance that is tailored to your specific needs, goals, and preferences.
