I am Joy Erdile (Kiddie) and I am a full-time Registered Dietitian (RD) with a post-graduate degree in Human Nutrition. I have been in private practice in the greater Vancouver area since 2008 and am licensed in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario.
My areas of practice include Routine Services, Digestive Health, as well as Therapeutic Diets.
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 Meal Plans using a variety of dietary patterns, including vegetarian, Mediterranean, and low carb, and keto which used to be offered through a dedicated low-carb division. Regardless of the dietary pattern you choose, our approach does not require you to keep a food journal, or constantly weigh and measure your food, or yourself!
Routine Services are available hourly or through packages designed to support individuals with a range of needs, including adults of any age seeking weight and health management, mothers-to-be wanting prenatal nutrition support, and older adults pursuing healthy aging.

I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach, but that Nutrition is BetterByDesign©.
