Healthy nutrition plans made just for you.

A true partner in your health and wellness, our dietitians will create a customized plan to fit your lifestyle. Take action with a nutrition plan that’s as unique as you are.

Conveniently located in at our Main Clinic in Surrey.

Working with an Elysian Health dietitian can revolutionize your approach to healthy eating by providing personalized guidance and support. Our weight-inclusive approach prioritizes health behaviours and well-being, without fixating on weight loss as the sole measure of success. We understand that everyone's journey is unique, and our aim is to empower you to achieve your various health goals while fostering a positive relationship with food and your body.

A dietitian's role extends far beyond prescribing generic diets or focusing solely on weight loss. We are trained professionals dedicated to helping you develop a healthy relationship with food, make informed choices, and achieve your health goals. By leveraging our expertise, you can navigate the sea of misinformation, embrace a weight-inclusive approach to wellness, and experience the transformative power of personalized nutrition guidance. Let us guide you on your journey towards a healthier, happier life.

Why work with a Dietitian?

In today's digital age, it can be overwhelming to sift through the abundance of conflicting nutrition information circulating on social media and other online platforms. As trained nutrition experts, our dietitians have the knowledge and expertise to guide you through the maze of misinformation. We base our recommendations on evidence-based research, ensuring that you receive accurate and reliable information tailored to your specific needs. By debunking myths and clarifying misconceptions, we empower you to make informed choices that will benefit your overall well-being.

Eliminate Guesswork

One of the key benefits of working with a dietitian is the ability to eliminate the guesswork when it comes to your diet and meal planning. We understand that life can be hectic, and finding the time and energy to make healthy choices can be challenging. Our role is to alleviate the stress and provide you with practical solutions. We take into account your lifestyle and unique circumstances, whether you have mandatory client lunches, travel frequently, or need to find quick and healthy options at the grocery store. By working closely with you, we develop sustainable meal plans customized to your dietary preferences, such as vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, or gluten-free. We also consider any food sensitivities you may have, while respecting your budgetary constraints.

What to expect when you see a dietitian at Elysian?

When you schedule an appointment with a dietitian, you can expect a comprehensive and individualized experience. Our one-hour consultation includes a thorough nutrition assessment, where we review your diet history, general health, lifestyle, family background, and medical history. This holistic approach allows us to understand your unique needs and challenges. Based on this assessment, we provide customized nutrition recommendations that align with your specific goals, whether it's lowering your blood pressure, managing digestive issues, or simply maintaining overall health and longevity.

For individuals living with a health condition, we offer support in the form of medical nutrition therapy. This specialized guidance ensures that your nutritional needs are met to promote optimal health outcomes. We equip you with a wide range of resources, including recipes and healthy meal ideas, to help you incorporate our recommendations into your daily life seamlessly. We also provide ongoing coaching, so you have continuous support, accountability, and motivation throughout your journey.

How to connect?

Our nutrition programs are designed to accommodate your preferred mode of communication. Whether you prefer in-person sessions at our Main Clinic in Surrey, telephone consultations, or virtual meetings, we are committed to making our services accessible and convenient for you. Furthermore, it's important to note that sustainable meal plans and ongoing coaching may be covered under your extended benefits plan. We encourage you to check with your benefits manager to explore the potential coverage available to you.
