BetterByDesign Nutrition Ltd.

EXPERIENCE & EXPERTISE

I’m Joy Erdile (Kiddie), and I’ve been in private practice in Coquitlam since 2008. My services fall into three categories: Routine, Digestive Health, and Therapeutic Diets for mental and physical health conditions. Since people’s needs don’t always fit into a single category, Routine Services and some Digestive Health packages can be combined at a reduced rate compared to purchasing them separately.

I offer a Customized Nutrition Package for individuals with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), Mast Cell Activation Disorder/Syndrome, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and other conditions not covered by existing packages. 

The Meal Plans that I design are based on your unique requirements — including food preferences (likes and dislikes), as well as religious, cultural, or ethical restrictions. You can choose from several different types of dietary patterns, including vegetarian, Mediterranean, and low-carb or keto (previously offered through a dedicated low-carb division). Regardless of the approach you choose, you won’t need to weigh and measure your food or yourself constantly!

In addition to British Columbia, I am also licensed to provide services to those in Alberta and Ontario.

I. ROUTINE SERVICES

Routine Services are available on an hourly basis or as packages. 

HOURLY SERVICES

Initial Hourly Consultation – is a non-clinical appointment for you to meet with me, share your goals and health background, for us to discuss various service options, and to determine if I am a good fit for your needs. Any remaining time in this appointment can be “banked” for future follow-up services after completing one of the packages.

Clinical Hourly Services – for clinical work by the hour, or for taking follow-up visits on an hourly basis.

Specialty Hourly Services – for nutrition education on a variety of topics, including reducing Constipation and Hemorrhoids, Functional Dyspepsia (“IBS of the stomach”), GERD / acid reflux, Gout, Histamine Elimination, Hiatus Hernia, Dietary Considerations in Hypothyroid, Kidney Stone Diet, and Macular Degeneration.
