Nutrition Counselling

Have you ever wondered why some people can 'eat like kings' and not gain weight or 'eat like paupers' and not lose a pound? That's because the principals of 'healthy eating' differ for different people and can be significantly impacted by age, lifestyle, metabolic requirements, medical issues and other factors. At Foundations Family Nutrition we help families, adults, teens and children develop healthy eating habits for life-long health. Whether you are a professional or recreational athlete, trying to lose weight, manage a medical condition or would simply like to develop a sound nutrition program for your family, our RDs will develop a customised program to help you achieve your goals.

Adult Nutrition

Adults range in age from 18 years old, through childbearing years and beyond. During this time, nutrition needs vary greatly based on age, lifestyle, fitness level, motivation and medical history. Foundations Family Nutrition helps adults maintain healthy lifestyles throughout their active lives and well into their 'golden years'.

Teen Nutrition

Preparing teenagers to live healthy, well-balanced lives can be challenging. Their nutritional needs change as their bodies mature, and their knowledge of what constitutes healthy eating becomes more complex as they become more socially active and independent. Foundations Family Nutrition teaches teenagers about sound nutrition so they can make healthy choices as they take steps to adulthood.

Child Nutrition

Foundations Family Nutrition helps parents develop nutrition programs for infants, toddlers and tweens. In addition to creating nutritional meals, parents learn how to establish daily, balanced routines and if necessary, effect behaviour change for eating habits, snacking and medical issues.

Family Nutrition

Parents face many challenges trying to ensure that their kids eat the right foods and develop healthy habits. Shopping for food and preparing healthy meals has become increasingly complicated due to the enormous selection of foods available and conflicting information about what constitutes proper nutrition. Moreover, as families grow older their nutritional needs change, further complicating food choices. Foundations Family Nutrition educates families on eating healthfully using age appropriate activities and nutrition counselling that all members can benefit from.

Sports Nutrition

In addition to being physically fit and agile, athletes have special nutrition requirements to maintain their health. Foundations Family Nutrition helps amateur athletes and professional sports teams build strength and endurance, and sustain high energy levels through nutrition counselling and customised eating plans.
