I have joined The Crown Isle Clinic a new family practice located in the Comox Valley. I will be seeing new clients at this location in early April.

What is a Registered Dietitian?
A Registered Dietitian is a healthcare professional with a Bachelor's degree in food and nutrition. Dietitians are the trusted source for reliable, scientifically sound nutrition information.

Why should you see a Registered Dietitian?

Prevention of Disease: Visit a dietitian for a general nutrition check-in. Are you eating as well as you think you are? Are you bored with your food? Can't decipher nutrition labels and health claims? A dietitian can help you sort fact from fiction and identify ways to improve (and inspire) your diet and lifestyle. You can't change your genetic susceptibility to illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer, but you can give yourself a better chance at beating the odds.

Support during Disease: Visit a dietitian if you are diagnosed with a medical condition, especially:

Diabetes or insulin resistance (may be called "prediabetes")
High Cholesterol or Heart Disease
Kidney Disease
Cancer
Liver Disease
Food Allergies
Any Gastrointestinal-related disorder, including GERD, Celiac Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and many more.

Pregnancy: Before, during and after.

Weight Loss: You might know generally what you need to do, but meeting with a dietitian can be very helpful. Learn how to seperate diet myth from fact and find a plan that works for you long term.

Family Nutrition: A dietitian can help with new meal ideas that will please the entire family, discuss strategies to help picky eaters and ways to minimize conflict during meal times.

Supplement Confusion: Unlike drugs, there is little regulation of supplements. What is safe? What do I need? A dietitian has the knowledge and resources to help you sort it through.
