BetterByDesign Nutrition Ltd.

Registered Dietitian Nutritionist

Have you been looking for an experienced Registered Dietitian to help with weight loss or weight gain? Or do you have pre-diabetes or diabetes and want to better control your blood sugar? I can help with these, as well as lowering high blood pressure and cholesterol and to improve the markers of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. I have considerable experience in several areas of digestive health and food allergies and sensitivities. I design prenatal Meal Plans to support pregnant women through all three trimesters of their pregnancy, as well as women struggling with the symptoms of PCOS, or menopause. I am experienced developing anti-inflammatory Meal Plans to help reduce the symptoms associated with some conditions, and my knowledge in designing therapeutic ketogenic diets for mental and physical health is another reason people seek my services.

I’m Joy Kiddie, a full-time Registered Dietitian (RD) and Registered Nutritionist (RDN) 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 several provinces, and my areas of expertise range from the routine, to the clinically complex.

For more than 15 years, I have helped people with weight loss, as well as to improve their metabolic health. I have supported those living with food allergies and food sensitivities, and various digestive disorders. In the past 10 years, I have provided support for women with PCOS, as well as ‘women of a certain age’ who are struggling with the symptoms of menopause. The past 6 years, I have designed therapeutic ketogenic diets as an adjunct treatment for mental, and physical conditions. 

I am passionate about helping people feel better and to restore their health.
