The term 'nutritionist' is not legally regulated in Ontario so there are no educational or ethical requirements for its use. This varies by province in Canada, learn more here about what makes dietitians your best source of nutrition information.
This service is offered free of charge and is available to all patients enrolled with a WCFHT family physician or nurse practitioner. To request an appointment, speak with your healthcare provider for a referral.
