With the various health professionals out there, it can be confusing to know who is the right fit to help you reach your health goals. We have written an article to help guide you in your decision making process with choosing a Dietitian or a Nutritionist.

Our innovative team believe in integrity and value the relationships that we have with our clients.

It can be difficult to know if you are getting value for money and that what you are being charged is fair. At Koru Nutrition we did market research to see what the rates were for clinicians and what different nutrition associations recommended clinicians should charge.

There are so many reasons why we may crave or consume junk food and other unhealthy foods. It may be for emotional reasons or convenience, due to financial, hormonal, or biochemical factors, or it might even be because of pathogens in our gut that may cause us to eat a certain way. We don’t judge. Our role is to help relieve your symptoms to help you feel better and achieve your health goals.

Many of our clients struggle with budget restrictions. Our clinicians can teach you strategies to purchase healthy foods without going over your budget.

Don’t worry! Most of us struggle with having enough time and energy to spend in the kitchen. We consider your current situation and provide strategies that match your abilities and time constraints. We have combined decades of experience in preparing quick and nutritious meals or healthy foods for on-the-go… and we are eager to share! You just might find you are spending less time in the kitchen than you did previously.

Many people believe they eat a generally healthy diet. Even if that applies to you… you must be considering nutritional counselling for a reason!

In practice, we often find individuals are not eating enough variety, or that adding specific foods could support their individual health or recovery. Plus, many people are consuming foods that can contribute to their current symptoms without even realizing it! By working with a Nutritionist or Dietitian, you have an expert in your corner to help develop the best dietary plan for your unique health conditions, symptoms and goals.

We work with you, at your pace, to ensure long-term success. To optimize your nutrition and function we help to ensure that any dietary changes are realistic and sustainable. We do not just provide you a plan, but work together with you to create a carefully thought out, individualized nutrition strategy that works for you and your family.

Our clinicians meet you where you are at in terms of comfort level with making changes. That said, many individuals find they enjoy dietary changes more than they believed they could, especially when they start noticing improvements in energy levels, mood and other symptoms.

Many extended health benefits plans cover dietitians and nutritionists. It is best to check your specific benefit plan coverage before selecting a service, as some plans will only cover a dietitian and not a nutritionist and vice versa. Blue Cross covers dietitian’s services as well.
