            Hello. I’m Teri and I’m a caring, understanding dietitian. I counsel people of any age who live in Alberta. I cover almost all nutrition and related topics.

Do you want to:
• Become healthier, reach a body-related (e.g. weight) goal, follow a diet or eating pattern (e.g. intuitive eating), or change a habit? 
• Save food-related money and time? 
• Prevent or treat a health condition (e.g. a digestion issue) or symptom?
• Improve your mental health (e.g. reduce stress)? 
• Feel more satisfied with who you are and what your life is like? 

We can discuss what goals to focus on and how to work towards reaching them. 

I can do many tasks such as:
• Do problem solving, find/teach information, and discuss feelings/thoughts
• Check if you’re meeting your nutrition needs
• Create resources and physical-activity/meal plans
• Guide you while you try preparing food

I can use various apps (e.g. Cronometer and Mealime) and methods (e.g. cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness).

Dietitian services are income tax deductible and I can do direct billing to most insurance companies. 

I do not cover type 1 diabetes, insulin injections, and tube or IV feeding. Also, ignore the word “specialties” and “package” on this page.

More information about myself and my services is at https://teridietitian.wixsite.com/home

The Role of a Dietitian When it Comes to Weight Loss

Registered Dietitian hold degrees in nutrition or dietetics, ensuring they possess the knowledge and skills to provide effective guidance for people who have experienced weight loss or weight gain which may put their health at greater risk.

Dietitians adhere to strict professional standards to help clients achieve their goals safely and sustainably.

Finding the Right Dietitian for Weight-Related Concerns (Weight Loss or Weight Gain)

To find the right dietitian for you, consider the following tips:

  • Ask for recommendations: Start by asking your primary care provider, friends, family, or colleagues for referrals. They may have personal experiences or know of professionals with a track record of success.

  • Verify credentials: Ensure that the professional you're considering is a registered dietitian (RD) or registered dietitian(RDN) and has experience in weight management.

  • Research their approach: All dietitian used evidence-based strategies and focus on long-term success, rather than quick fixes or fad diets. Some dietitians use a more traditional 'weight-normative' approach with a special focus on the weight itself, while other dietitians take a more 'weight-inclusive' approach, focusing on health behaviours to improve physical, behavioural, and psychological outcomes. In recent years, the weight-inclusive-approach has become more popular among dietitians. Choose the style and approach that resonates most with you.

  • Consider compatibility: It's essential to find a dietitian you feel comfortable with and trust, as this relationship will play a significant role in the outcomes of your sessions.

  • Check availability and location: Determine whether you prefer in-person consultations or virtual appointments via tele-health, and ensure that their schedule aligns with yours.

Long-term Weight Management

Dietitians specializing weight loss, change, gain and/or body recomposition focus on sustainable lifestyle changes, rather than quick fixes. By promoting healthy habits and behaviour changes, they help clients maintain their desired results in the long-term, reducing the risk of yo-yo dieting, weight cycling and promoting overall health.

In conclusion, a dietitian for weight loss and other weight-related concerns provides personalized guidance, helping individuals achieve their weight and health goals in a healthy, sustainable manner.

By working closely with clients, dietitians ensure ongoing support and success in reaching and maintaining your healthiest weight.

Disclaimer: Nutritionist vs Dietitian

In Canada, there is sometimes a difference between the terms Dietitian and nutritionist. While both titles can be use interchangeably in some provinces, this is not the case in others.

The title ‘Dietitian’ is protected by law across Canada in every province. The term ‘nutritionist’ however, is only a protected title in Alberta, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

Only nutrition professionals who are regulated and have protected titles have a legal scope of practice which includes: providing individualized nutrition counselling, medical nutrition therapy, and nutrition education to individuals with specific health concerns.

That said, while the term "nutritionist" is sometimes used on this website, it is important to note that we only work with licensed Registered Dietitians in good standing with their provincial regulatory bodies. That means you can be assured that all of our partners providing nutrition counselling meet the education and ethical standards set by all of the provincial regulatory bodies across Canada.

We strongly recommend that you consult with a Registered Dietitian (or other recognized healthcare professional such as a doctor) when you are considering making any significant dietary changes.

Rest assured that on Online Nutrition, every nutrition professional is vetted to confirm they are a Registered Dietitian in good standing with their provincial regulatory body.
