Registered Dietitian in Richmond Hill
The dietitian service at Viva Health Centre in Richmond Hill offers one-on-one nutrition consultations with a Registered Dietitian, built around a plan that fits your own needs, goals, and lifestyle.
This covers nutrition for managing a chronic condition as well as general well-being, with a particular specialism in diets related to chronic kidney disease. Consultations are individual rather than group sessions, and they come with ongoing support, not just a single plan handed over at the end of one appointment. Nutrition is treated as part of managing your condition, not as a separate exercise on its own.
Changes to Your Diet Can Be Challenging
Knowing what to eat and actually sticking with it are two different problems. Consultations here focus on the second, practical tips and strategies for making changes to your eating habits that hold up over months and years, not just a few weeks.
Your plan is developed with you and fitted to your lifestyle and goals, and support continues after it's set. Questions between visits get answered as they come up, rather than saved for the next appointment, which matters most when a diagnosis has just changed what you're able to eat. People come in for all kinds of reasons: managing weight, a chronic condition, or simply general well-being.

What the Dietitian Covers
Diets related to chronic kidney disease
Nutrition planning for people living with chronic kidney disease, aimed at managing symptoms and supporting quality of life.
Nutrition for chronic conditions
Diet as part of managing conditions including diabetes and pre-diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
General nutrition and well-being
Support for people who want to improve overall nutrition or manage weight rather than manage a diagnosis, built around eating habits that can be sustained.
What a Nutrition Consultation Involves
A consultation is one-on-one. It starts with your current eating habits, your medical situation, and what you want to change, and ends with a nutrition plan built to fit your lifestyle, not an idealized one.
OHIP is accepted, and patients without OHIP or any insurance are seen. You don't need to bring a health card. Later sessions review what's working, adjust the plan, and work through the questions that only come up once you actually start. Practical tips and strategies are the focus of those sessions.
Why See the Dietitian at Viva Health Centre
Renal nutrition beside renal medicine
Diets related to chronic kidney disease are a named specialism here, and the nephrologist who manages the disease practises at the same address.
A licensed and regulated practitioner
Registered Dietitian in good standing with the College of Dietitians of Ontario and a member of Dietitians of Canada.
Support that continues
Plans are followed up and adjusted rather than issued once.
Related Services at Viva Health Centre
Nutrition works alongside the medical care for the condition it relates to, a renal diet works best when it's coordinated with the nephrologist managing the kidney condition itself, just as a diabetes-friendly diet works best alongside the doctor managing the diabetes.
These services are all offered at the same Richmond Hill address, so your dietitian and your specialist can stay in sync rather than working from two different pictures of your health.
