Experience & Expertise
Joy Erdile MSc, RD
Registered Dietitian
Private Practice since 2008
I’m Joy Erdile (Kiddie), and I’m a full-time Registered Dietitian (post-grad in Human Nutrition) based in Coquitlam, BC. I have been in private practice for 18 years and have expertise in Routine Health, Preventive Nutrition, Chronic Disease Management, Hormonal Health, Digestive (GI) conditions, and Therapeutic Diets. The multicultural Meal Plans I design (East Asian, South Asian, Middle Eastern, Balkans, Caribbean, etc.) are rooted in experience and tailored to your specific needs.

Not sure where to begin?
✔ Get started with an Initial Consultation to discuss your needs and determine which services are most appropriate for you. This may include one of our Routine Health or Digestive Health packages, or, if you are looking for individualized clinical nutrition care beyond our package options, a Clinical Nutrition Appointment.

The Initial Consultation is designed for this.
Any remaining time can be “banked” for follow-up services when taking any package.
