With many Registered Dietitians, Nutritionists, Naturopaths, and "weight-loss centers" to choose from, it can be difficult to find appropriate help to manage your specialized dietary needs, or to meet your weight-loss goals. So why choose a Registered Dietitian, and why Holly Kerr, RD?

Registered Dietitians are food and nutrition specialists that are regulated by the College of Dietitians of Ontario. Registered Dietitians are the recognized experts in translating medical and nutrition information into practical and individualized therapeutic diets, healthy meal plans, and nutrition education for health and wellbeing. Accordingly, the services of Registered Dietitians are covered by most Extended Health Care Plans.
