What is nutrition?

The physiological aspect of nutrition analyzes how our bodies process food to ensure its proper functioning. It encompasses metabolic processes involving macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, proteins) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants) in various biochemical mechanisms as well as their effects on our body. The psychological side of nutrition examines how eating behaviors can affect our health.

What is the role of the nutritionist?

The Nutritionist or Registered Dietitian (RD) is a member of the OPDQ (Ordre Professionnel des Diététistes du Québec). She possesses the expertise and competences to evaluate your nutritional status in order to determine a nutritional treatment plan aimed at maintaining or restoring your health.

How is a nutritional evaluation conducted?

During your initial evaluation, the nutritionist will develop the clinical impressions that will help establish specific nutrition goals and plans. She will review and analyze the following parameters:

– your anthropometric data

– your lifestyle habits

– your medical history

– your nutritional history

– your eating behavior

How is nutritional follow-up conducted?

During the follow-up, the nutritionist will contribute to the achievement of your nutritional goals by helping you identify and overcome the obstacles that prevent you from reaching your goals, adjusting the nutritional treatment plan and giving you advices, tips, tricks and a good deal of moral support.
