Registered Dietitian Services in Markham

Food choices, energy levels, digestion, weight goals and health concerns can all affect how you feel day to day. Our nutritional counselling services help people in Markham and Unionville get practical support from a registered dietitian, with guidance that fits your lifestyle, goals and routine.

What is Nutritional Counselling?

Nutritional counselling focuses on helping you understand how food, habits, lifestyle and health needs can affect your overall wellbeing.

When nutrition feels confusing, restrictive or difficult to manage, you may need support with meal habits, energy, digestion, weight management, recovery, chronic conditions or day-to-day food choices.

Atlas Physiotherapy and Health offers dedicated nutritional counselling with a registered dietitian who can help you create realistic, personalized strategies that fit your goals.

What can I expect?

Thorough assessment: At your initial appointment, you will have the opportunity to express your health and nutrition-related concerns as well as goals to the Dietitian.

Custom diet plans: Our experienced dietitian will then collect and interpret information relevant to your health and nutrition history. We interpret vitals (i.e. blood pressure and blood cholesterol) to health habits, current diet, emotional health, body composition, life balance, etc. 

We then work with you to develop a personalized action plan that includes meal planning to attain your goals (from weight management to better digestive health, more physical activity/athletic performance, etc.).

 Sustainable dietary goals: At the follow-ups, the Dietitian will meet with you to assess your progress and revise the action plan or food rules to help you continuously reach your health and nutrition goals. Enjoy healthy weight gain/loss without deprivation or elevated stress levels.

Healing: With consistency, the clinical nutrition experience helps our clients create sustainable healthy habits capable of alleviating chronic conditions and/or diseases through nutritional guidance. Expect a higher quality life going forward.

Nutrition solutions for everyone: Our personalized care plans utilize food science and all other aspects that cater to the most unique eating habits (including binge eating and picky eating) or manage complicated health conditions (we can help with diabetes management).

What Is The Difference Between A Dietitian And A Nutritionist?

A registered dietitian is a regulated health professional with specific education and training requirements. The term nutritionist can vary depending on location and credentials, so it’s important to check the provider’s qualifications before booking care.

Can I Book Nutritional Counselling Online?

How Long Are Nutritional Counselling Sessions?

Nutritional counselling session length can vary depending on your appointment type, goals and care plan. Your first visit may take longer because your registered dietitian needs time to review your health history, food habits, concerns and goals.

What Do I Need To Bring To My Nutritional Counselling Appointment?

Bring your health card, insurance information, a list of medications or supplements, and any relevant medical reports or bloodwork if you have them. It can also help to bring notes about your usual meals, symptoms, food preferences and goals.
