Joy Y. Kiddie, MSc, RD

 

I’m Joy Kiddie, a full-time Registered Dietitian (RD) with a post-graduate degree in Human Nutrition. I have been in private practice in Coquitlam, British Columbia since 2008, and have provided virtual services for over a decade to those living locally, and in other areas of the country.

I am licensed in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario and provide routine services including healthy eating, weight management (loss or gain), improving high cholesterol, blood sugar and pressure, as well as the markers of fatty liver disease. I help adults of all ages reduce risk for conditions that run in their family through dietary and lifestyle changes.

I provide digestive health services to individuals with food allergies, food sensitivities, as well as those newly diagnosed with celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, or various types of colitis.

I offer customized support for women’s health including prenatal and post partum nutrition, PCOS, as well as menopause management for ‘women of a certain age’ and provide a range of services related to men’s health, with nearly half of my clients being men. I have dedicated services for healthy older adults who seek to stay that way, including maintaining a healthy body weight and retaining muscle and bone mass as they age.

I also have several years experience designing therapeutic ketogenic diets as adjunct treatment in specific physical and mental health conditions.

I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach, but that Nutrition is BetterByDesign©.

MULTICULTURAL MEAL PLANS

I specialize in multicultural Meal Plans and have in-depth knowledge of the food and cultural practices from many regions of Asia and South Asia, North Africa, the Caribbean, Middle East and the Mediterranean.

CATEGORIES OF SERVICES

I offer three categories of services.

I — ROUTINE SERVICES 

I offer four types of routine services.

The Complete Assessment Package and Comprehensive Dietary Package are two packages for those seeking to eat healthier, as well as for weight management, improving blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and the markers of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The difference between the two packages is that the Comprehensive Dietary Package provides an additional two 1/2-hour follow up visits at a cost savings from taking them on an hourly basis.

The Healthy Aging Package is for healthy adults who strive to stay that way.

I also offer two types of Hourly Services.

HIGHLY RATED

I am honored to have been recognized as one of Coquitlam’s top three businesses for weight loss in 2024.

I am very appreciative for the consistently high reviews I have received on Google from former clients, and I continue to strive for excellence in the services that I provide.

 

DIETITIAN vs NUTRITIONIST

In British Columbia, anyone can call themselves a “nutritionist” without
specific training or qualifications. “Nutritionists” are not the same as Dietitians.

Dietitians are certified nutrition professionals registered with the regulatory body in the province(s) where they practice. Their professional practice is subject to oversight and regulation ensuring a high standard of care.

I am a Registered Dietitian licensed to practice in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. 

Published Researcher

I was the lead researcher on a clinical study in mental health nutrition. The link is available under the “About Me” tab.

Food for Thought is where you’ll find the most recent of the ~200 referenced articles that I’ve written about various topics in my areas of practice.
