Low Carb Diets Have Got to Go! Gut health is all over the media right now, but exactly what a gut health diet means is less clear.

Gut Health Dietitians
Hi, I'm Kelsey! 👋 I’ve never done one of the Hi, I'm Kelsey! 👋

I’ve never done one of these posts, and since my presence on instagram has been terrible recently this felt like a good way to get back to posting. 

I’ve been a Registered Dietitian for the past decade and have worked my entire career in clinical practice, mostly in a hospital setting. Almost 3 years ago I started Gut Healthy Dietitian while on maternity leave. Between being a mom to two young boys (priority #1), working full-time in the hospital and running a growing business life is BUSY, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. 

At Gut Healthy Dietitian our approach is entirely based on two factors: 1) science and 2) being realistic. I am absolutely obsessed with nutrition and spend a ridiculous amount of time reviewing the latest (evidence-based) nutrition recommendations. I have worked with thousands of different clients over the past decade with every health condition you could imagine, but there’s one consistent factor. If the client isn’t ready to make the change, or if it’s too overwhelming, it simply won’t work. 

Although we are happy to see clients with any sort of nutrition goals, my passion is gut health. I truly look at gut health (meaning the function of our healthy gut microbes 🦠) as the foundation of our health.

A few things about me:
1. I have two little boys, Jace and Blake, who are my world 
2. My wife Lily is pretty great too 
3. I’m a lifelong multi-sport athlete, and I still play basketball and soccer 
4. I started Gut Healthy Dietitian after focusing my research on gut health during my Masters of Science degree 
5. Gut Healthy Dietitian now has two other amazing dietitians, Nicole and Elyse, working for us 
6. We run a virtual clinic as well as providing dietitian services on campus at Western University 
7. I have a wild sense of overconfidence that proves me wrong 1-5 times most days 
8. I have been vegan/vegetarian for many years but recently starting adding animal products back into my diet because it felt right 
9. I work on ICU, stroke, medicine and mental health in my in-patient hospital job 
10. I did my undergraduate degree at StFX and my Masters degree at McMaster
FUEL YOUR GUT: GROUP PROGRAM I am so excited to a FUEL YOUR GUT: GROUP PROGRAM

I am so excited to announce the launch of our new group program in January 2023! I outlined the concept for Fuel Your Gut years ago but due to (very) limited time I needed Nicole’s help to develop the program, and the results are so good. This program is built around the feedback we hear from our clients every single day - the biggest limiting factor in making long-term diet and lifestyle change is our crazy schedules. The biggest barriers being a lack of time and energy. So we created a program that would take the stress out of eating well and allow you to achieve your nutrition goals in a way that is sustainable and enjoyable. 

WHAT DOES THE PROGRAM INCLUDE?
• 4-weeks of meal plans (quick, easy and delicious high fiber, anti-inflammatory meals)
• Weekly grocery lists (to save you time and energy)
• Weekly check-in from your dietitian for accountability and support 
• Weekly education sessions and Q&A 
• Access to a private group forum for motivation and accountability 

This program is for you if:
• You want to support your overall health and wellness
• You feel stressed or overwhelmed about your diet, or don’t have the time to make sustainable changes 
• You know gut health is important, but you don’t know what that means or how to support gut health
• You need to improve your diet for management of a chronic disease (heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes etc)
• You want more energy and improved digestion
• You want to commit to your health but know you need accountability to make long-term changes 

BONUS: if you have private insurance benefits you may be eligible for reimbursement of this program!
This program is not for you if:
• You have significant digestive symptoms. We would recommend you contact us for a 1:1 consultation for individualized recommendations as you may not be able to tolerate a high fiber diet right now.

The most fun I’ve ever had during a consultation The most fun I’ve ever had during a consultation.

It’s not every day you get the opportunity to provide nutrition counselling to an Olympian. So when Miranda Ayim, 3x Olympian and our flag bearer at the 2020 olympics 🇨🇦 asked for a session in our new offices at Western I was honoured. 

I can’t stress enough the importance of getting an outside opinion or review of your diet periodically. Miranda knows far more than the average person about nutrition from being a lifelong athlete, but since retiring from basketball her nutrition needs have changed. Getting a different perspective helps to set new goals and identifying any areas for improvement. 

Thanks so much for trusting me with your nutrition @mjayim. A true beauty of a person in all ways. Swipe through to see an old-school picture of us on the basketball court together in high school. Her basketball career may have gone slightly further than mine…but she retired first while I’m still going strong in women’s league 😆
