Food should support your health, not control your life.
I'm Liv. I'm a Registered Dietitian in Victoria, BC, and most of the people I work with are already doing the hard part.
They're training. They're showing up. They're just not eating enough to get anything back from it.
I work with people who train hard, work hard, and want to know what their body actually needs instead of guessing at it.
What I do is simple. It isn't easy. But it works, and you'll be able to keep doing it after we're done.
My background is Human Kinetics at UBC Okanagan and Applied Human Nutrition & Dietetics at MSVU in Halifax, with a study abroad in Brisbane. But the degrees aren't why anyone stays. What I'm good at is asking the right questions until it starts making sense to you, and then getting out of the way.

Your Nutrition Cheerleader, Here to Support You.
If you're nervous about your first appointment, it's probably because you think I'm going to judge what you've been eating. So let me get ahead of that. Who am I to judge you? I'm just another person. I'm your dietitian, but I'm not above you, and if you walk in feeling like I am, this won't work.
You're already criticizing yourself plenty. I'm not going to add to it. That gets us nowhere.
What I actually do is notice what's working and remind you of it, usually more often than you'd remind yourself. I'll ask you questions. Your carbs were low yesterday, so how was your energy at work? You trained hard on Tuesday, so imagine how much more you could build if you gave yourself the protein to do it.
I'll be honest that this is simple but it isn't easy. And I want you to walk away from working with me able to do it without me.
Outside of appointments, you'll find me out on a run, teaching a spin class, walking my big dog Benny (if you’re lucky, you’ll meet him in your appointment), or somewhere near the ocean.
