DIETETICS
REGISTERED Dietitian
At Integral Performance Physio, we believe that the best nutritional therapy should be evidence-based, practical, and sustainable. Based on your lifestyle and/or medical condition, our experienced registered dietitian will be able to optimize your dietary needs.
A registered dietitian is NOT simply just another “Nutrition Expert”.
In fact, in Québec, dietitians are the only regulated health care professionals (along with medical doctors) licensed to assess, diagnose, and treat nutritional problems. Dietitians undertake a minimum of 3-4 years of university studies in the areas of biochemistry, physiology, diet-related medical conditions, counseling, research, food science, and literature analysis. This also includes a practical component requiring a minimum of 6 months in medical nutrition therapy, clinical nutrition, food service, and community nutrition.
