Nicole Marchand, Registered Dietitian
Did you know that dietetic services can benefit everyone?
Nutrition services with a registered dietitian can help you figure out the best and healthiest diet for you and your lifestyle. Whether you are a busy student, a working professional, an athlete or someone just trying to navigate all of the nutrition information found in the media, I can help you discover and understand the optimal dietary intake to meet your needs and wants.
As a healthcare professional, I believe that eating well reduces the risk of developing short and long term illnesses which can lessen quality of life. I combine by formal education in science and dietetics with real world experience to demonstrate to clients that eating well can be easy, fun, inexpensive and delicious.
My clients are provided with the right tools and resources to start or maintain their path to a healthy diet and a healthy self. Furthermore, as my approach to dietetics is strictly client based, I tailor each resource and meal plan to meet individual dietary needs and wants and in a judgment free environment

Brittany Conrad, Registered Dietitian
Brittany completed her BSc. Applied Human Nutrition with distinction from Mount Saint Vincent University and her Dietetic Internship with Nova Scotia Health Authority. Born and raised in Nova Scotia, her interest in nutrition began while playing competitive sports from a young age and noticing the difference in performance when choosing foods that made her feel her best.
From there she has worked in several areas of dietetics including community, clinical, health promotion and industry. She has a passion for food, nutrition, activity and taking a holistic approach to help those looking to make positive nutrition changes and find what works best for them.
Her passion for gut health came alongside the increasing amount of research linking poor gut health and an imbalanced micro biome with not just digestive symptoms but many diseases and disorders in the body including autoimmune issues, allergies, sensitivities, brain fog, mental health, fatigue and more. She envisions a community confident in taking steps to create lifelong healthy behaviours that will help Nova Scotian’s feel well, live well and enjoy food.
