BetterByDesign Nutrition Ltd.

 

I’m Joy Erdile (Kiddie), a full-time Registered Dietitian (RD) with a post-graduate degree in Human Nutrition. I’ve been in private practice in the Greater Vancouver area (Coquitlam) since 2008, and I am licensed in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. 

My areas of practice include Routine Services, Digestive Health, and Therapeutic Diets, and I offer support for individuals whose needs don’t fall neatly into one category.

In 2024, I was honored to be recognized as one of Coquitlam’s top three businesses for weight loss, and I am passionate about helping people feel better and restore their health.

I design personalized Meal Plans using a variety of dietary patterns*, including vegetarian, Mediterranean, and low-carb and keto (previously offered through a dedicated low-carb division). No matter the approach you choose, you won’t constantly need to weigh and measure your food or yourself!

*I do not provide vegan or carnivore dietary support. 

Routine Services are available for adults of all ages and adolescents. Whether you’re seeking healthy eating guidance or support with weight and health management, I can help.

Initial Hourly Consultation – a non-clinical appointment to meet with you to discuss your goals and health background, service options, and see if we are a good fit for your needs. Any remaining time in this appointment can be “banked” for follow-up services when taking one of our packages.

Clinical Hourly Services – for clinical work by the hour, or for taking follow-up visits on an hourly basis

Therapeutic Services include the design of therapeutic ketogenic diets (3:1 and 2:1) as adjunct treatment for specific physical conditions or mental health conditions, as well as dietary support for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD) / Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). 

MULTICULTURAL MEAL PLANS

I specialize in multicultural Meal Plans and have in-depth knowledge of the food and cultural practices from many regions of Asia and South Asia, North Africa, and some areas of Central Africa, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean.

In January, I was honored to be recognized as one of Coquitlam’s top three weight loss centers for 2024.  

I am very appreciative of the reviews that I have received from former and returning clients, and I continue to strive for excellence in all the services that I provide.
