Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RD/RDN)

I’m Joy Erdile (Kiddie), a full-time Registered Dietitian (RD) with a post-graduate degree in Human Nutrition, and I’ve been in private practice in the Greater Vancouver area (Coquitlam) since 2008. I provide Routine Services (including for PCOS, hypothyroidism, and menopause management), a range of Digestive Health services, Therapeutic Diets for physical and mental health, and have a Customized Nutrition Package for those whose needs don’t fall neatly in any one category.  I am licensed to provide services to those in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. 

The Meal Plans that I design are based on people’s individual needs which include food preferences (likes and dislikes), as well as religious, cultural, or ethical restrictions, and you can choose from several different types of dietary patterns, including vegetarian, Mediterranean, and low-carb or keto (previously offered through a dedicated low-carb division). Regardless of the approach you choose, you won’t need to weigh and measure your food or yourself constantly!

While my areas of practice include I. Routine Services, II. Digestive Health, and III. Therapeutic Diets, I also have a Customized Nutrition Package for those seeking dietary support for the symptoms of long-Covid, Functional Dyspepsia, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), Mast Cell Activation Disorder / Syndrome, or other conditions not covered by existing packages.

I. Routine Services

Routine Services are available for adults of all ages, and adolescents. 

Hourly Services:

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 future follow-up services when you take one of our packages.

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

Specialty Hourly Services* – for nutrition education on a variety of topics, including Reducing Constipation and Hemorrhoids, Functional Dyspepsia (“IBS of the stomach”), GERD / acid reflux, Gout, Histamine Elimination, Hiatus Hernia, Dietary Considerations in Hypothyroid, Kidney Stone Diet, and Macular Degeneration.

*These teachings are available as add-on nutrition education sessions at a reduced rate with selected packages.

MULTICULTURAL MEAL PLANS

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

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