Get nutrition support from a trusted expert.
Whether you’re dealing with a medical condition or looking at improving your relationship with food, we are here to help.
Through group workshops and one-on-one appointments, our registered dietitians offer nutrition advice and can help you set personal goals for healthy eating.
Ask a Dietitian group workshops
Our three group workshops include:
- Best Weight: for patients interested in learning about nutrition for health and exploring their best weight
- Cholesterol basics: for those looking to learn the role of nutrition in managing cholesterol
- Diabetes or pre-diabetes: to help patients learn how food can support managing their blood sugar
Best Weight: Prioritizing health over weight loss
Ask a Dietitian: Best Weight uses a patient-centered Best Weight approach to obesity management.
“Rather than focusing on weight outcomes, we suggest encouraging patients to focus on improving overall well-being: both psychological and physical,” says Mikaela Jahrig, a PCN registered dietitian.
How we help
Our registered dietitians also offer individual appointments to provide information or guidance. They can help you:
- learn about healthy eating and nutrition
- set personal nutrition goals
- improve your relationship with food
- translate the science of nutrition into terms you can understand
- manage digestive issues, food allergies
- access practical nutrition support related to specific health conditions
Those looking for support for weight, diabetes or cholesterol can connect with a health management nurse or attend a group workshop first, before booking an appointment with a dietitian. A health management nurse provides excellent information to help you learn how food and lifestyle affect your health.
PCN registered dietitians do not see patients under 17. If you need nutrition-related support for a minor in your family or you are under 17 yourself, ask your doctor about a referral to Alberta Health Services’ Nutrition Services.
