How We Can Help

Digestive & Gut Health

If you're struggling with bloating, reflux, digestive discomfort, food sensitivities, or other ongoing gut concerns, nutrition may be an important part of the solution. 

We can help you:
• Identify foods that may be contributing to your symptoms
• Explore elimination diets when appropriate
• Safely reintroduce foods
• Improve the variety and nutritional quality of your diet
• Develop an eating plan that supports your digestive health 

The goal isn't to unnecessarily restrict foods—it's to help you determine what you tolerate well and build a sustainable diet around it.

Personalized Nutrition Plans

There is no single "best" diet for everyone. 

Whether you eat Mediterranean, vegetarian, vegan, high-protein, lower-carbohydrate, Paleo-style, or simply want to eat healthier, we can help you create an approach that meets your nutritional needs.  

We can also help with: 

• Increasing protein
• Reducing added sugar and highly processed foods
• Meal timing and intermittent fasting
• Eating well on a budget
• Making sure vegetarian or vegan diets provide adequate nutrition
• Creating healthier eating habits without overly complicated rules

Comprehensive Nutrition Assessment

Not sure where to start? Your initial assessment looks at the bigger picture.
We'll discuss your:
• Current eating habits
• Health and medical history
• Symptoms and concerns
• Medications and supplements
• Activity and exercise
• Sleep and stress
• Lifestyle and schedule
• Personal health goals When appropriate, your dietitian can also review relevant bloodwork and help you understand how nutrition may fit into your overall healthcare plan.  

 Sports & Performance Nutrition

 Nutrition can make a significant difference in how you train, compete, and recover. We work with competitive athletes, youth athletes, recreational athletes, and active adults to develop nutrition strategies for:
• Energy and endurance
• Strength and muscle development
• Pre- and post-workout nutrition
• Competition and game-day fueling
• Hydration and electrolytes
• Recovery
• Supporting the body during injury rehabilitation
• Meeting protein, carbohydrate, and nutrient needs during different phases of training 

Your plan is built around your sport, training schedule, goals, and lifestyle—not a generic athlete meal plan.

 Personalized Meal Planning

Knowing what you should eat and figuring out how to actually do it are two different things. We can turn your nutrition recommendations into a practical plan that may include: 

• Personalized meal and snack ideas
• Recipes • Portion guidance
• Grocery lists
• Meal-prep and batch-cooking strategies
• Quick meals for busy families
• Eating well while travelling
• Strategies for restaurants and social events

 The goal is to make healthy eating easier—not give you another complicated plan to follow.  

Supplements & Nutrient Needs 

With so many vitamins, powders, supplements, and performance products available, it can be difficult to know what you actually need. 

Your dietitian can review what you're currently taking and help determine whether it is appropriate, necessary, and safe. This may include guidance around: 

• Vitamins and minerals
• Protein supplements
• Creatine • Electrolytes
• Sports nutrition products
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Potential medication and supplement interactions 

Whenever possible, recommendations are based on your individual needs rather than taking supplements "just in case."

Nutrition as Part of Your Bodywise Care

One of the benefits of receiving nutrition services at Bodywise is the ability to look at your health from more than one perspective. 

With your consent, your Registered Dietitian can collaborate with the other members of your healthcare team to support your overall treatment and recovery. 

For someone dealing with an injury, for example, treatment may address movement, strength, and pain while nutrition focuses on providing the energy, protein, and nutrients the body needs for recovery.
