Kelsey Moore
Registered Dietitian
Hi! My name is Kelsey and I am a Registered Dietitian licensed in British Columbia. I am a weight inclusive practitioner and believe that nutrition can support everyone’s journey to health. With the abundance of nutrition information and misinformation online it can be tricky to navigate on your own. I can help guide you through evidence-based nutrition information while also tailoring to your unique needs as a one size approach does not fit all. I guide my clients through gentle nutrition tips and strategies to help meet their needs. I can support a variety of nutrition concerns like maintaining a healthy heart, plant-based nutrition, gut disorders, sports nutrition, and more. I also provide supplement guidance as I know how difficult it can be to know which supplements may or may not be right for you.
