Registered Dietitian | Physiotherapy | Exercise Physiology
Raise your baseline.
Metabolic testing, nutrition, and movement for lifelong health.
With nutrition at our core, our team of Registered Dietitians, Physiotherapists, and Exercise Physiologists measures your resting metabolism, body composition, and VO₂ Max to translate your data into practical habits built for lasting momentum.
Do you have endless health data, but lack clarity on what your body needs?
Whether you are navigating a chronic health condition, focusing on body composition, rehabilitating an injury, or chasing your personal best, your path forward should be as adaptable as you are. While modern technology offers endless health data, it rarely helps you understand your body enough to inform your day-to-day focus and decisions.
Founded in 2016, Eatuitive was built to bring context to that data. As a dietitian-owned clinic, we view nutrition as your foundation—one that thrives when integrated with movement and rehabilitation. Using clinical-grade testing including resting metabolic rate (RMR), VO2 Max, and body composition analysis, our team of registered dietitians, physiotherapists, and exercise physiologists coordinate your nutrition, rehabilitation, and performance to put you back in the driver’s seat of your own health.
Our Services
Nutrition-first care, dietitian services available standalone or fully integrated with physiotherapy and clinical exercise physiology. Work with an individual clinician or coordinate across disciplines—our services are designed to bring clarity to your health, built around what you need.
-
Focus: Foundational nutrition for metabolic health, body composition, and performance.
Session 1 — Baseline Testing (60 min): Measure your true resting metabolic rate (RMR) and body composition (InBody 570) to establish your exact physiological starting point—replacing generic online estimates.
Session 2 — Assessment (60 min): Combine your test data with a comprehensive diet analysis of your food logs and lifestyle. You leave with practical calorie, protein, and habit-based targets built for your real life.
Ongoing Support: Stay accountable with quick 10-minute InBody re-tests or 30 minute follow-up sessions to adjust your approach as you progress
-
Focus: Performance rehabilitation, injury recovery, root-cause pain management, and movement optimization.
Session 1 — Movement & Biomechanical Assessment: Map out what is driving your pain, stiffness, or movement limits. Your physiotherapist evaluates joint mobility, strength, and movement patterns to identify the root cause—ensuring any high-output training or performance testing (like VO₂ Max) is safe and tailored to your body.
Session 2 — Active Treatment & Care Plan: Receive a structured, objective rehab plan combining targeted hands-on therapy with progressive exercise prescription—designed to restore capacity, manage training load, and keep you moving without benching your goals.
Ongoing Care: Track measurable milestones through focused treatment sessions, movement re-assessments, or sport-specific progressions as your tissue heals and your capacity increases.
-
Clinical Exercise Physiology (Exercise Physiologists)
Focus: Performance conditioning, metabolic efficiency, strength programming, and training load management.
Session 1 — Physiology & Fitness Assessment: Objective evaluation of your aerobic capacity, muscular strength, and movement efficiency. Includes gold-standard, mixing-chamber VO₂ Max testing to identify your exact heart rate training zones and metabolic fuel crossover (fat vs. carbohydrate burn).
Session 2 — Individualized Programming & Strategy: Translation of your VO₂ Max and metabolic data into a target-driven exercise prescription. Your CEP builds conditioning, strength, and recovery protocols tailored to your training load and aligned with your nutrition strategy.
Ongoing Care: Track progress and adapt training through follow-up coaching sessions, strength progressions, and periodic VO₂ Max re-testing to recalibrate your zones as your fitness and performance adapt.
Metabolism & Body Composition Testing
Two tests, two data points that most nutrition plans don’t account for. Your resting metabolic rate and body composition, measured using indirect calorimetry and multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis,
You'll leave with your measured resting energy expenditure and a full body composition breakdown, segmental muscle mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat, and fluid distribution, interpreted by your registered dietitian into clear, personalized calorie & protein targets.
Ideal for: Anyone who wants a measured baseline, and a reference point to track progress. Commonly used at the start of a program and every few months as your body composition shifts.
How it works
Metabolism & Body Composition Assessment
($250 | Includes RMR and InBody 570 Testing)
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR): A 10-minute breath test using indirect calorimetry—the gold standard for metabolic measurement—to determine your resting energy expenditure directly from oxygen consumption. Rather than relying on population-based equations, this directly measures how your specific metabolism functions.
InBody 570 Body Composition: Utilizing multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis to quantify segmental muscle mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat, and fluid distribution in under a minute. This technology is medical-grade and validated against DEXA with a correlation of 0.99.
Why it matters
Most nutrition targets are based on population-based equations. These tests replace that estimate with measured data, giving your registered dietitian a clinically accurate baseline to work from.
VO₂ Max & Submax Test with CardioCoach® Pro
VO2 Max Testing — Available Now!
The definitive data point for aerobic efficiency.
VO2 Max or submaximal exercise metabolic assessment measured using indirect calorimetry is the gold standard for cardiovascular measurement.
You’ll leave with your precise VO2 Max score, target heart rate training zones, and a metabolic crossover analysis identifying exactly where your body shifts from burning fat to carbohydrates for fuel. This data is interpreted by your clinical team to provide clear, physiological baselines for your conditioning and recovery.
Ideal for: Endurance athletes, high-performers, or anyone looking to move beyond generalized heart rate formulas and train with precision zones tailored to their personal physiological data.
How it works
Performance Upgrade: VO2 Max Testing
($300 with Physiotherapist or $250 with Clinical Exercise Physiologist| Optional Add-on)
Exercise Metabolic Assessment: A maximal or submaximal exercise breath test using indirect calorimetry to pinpoint your target heart rate training zones. This provides the physiological data needed to move beyond generalized heart rate formulas and identify exactly where your body burns fat versus carbohydrates for fuel.
VO₂ Max testing using a mixing chamber technology is considered the Gold Standard of your aerobic fitness and respiratory health, which is highly correlated to quality of life and longevity. VO₂ Max testing provides a big picture view of your current fitness and potential, including personalized heart rate zones, fitness level, and recovery data, fitness level, and recovery data.
Why it matters
Most cardiovascular training zones are based on generalized, age-based formulas. This assessment replaces those estimates with measured physiological data, giving your clinical team a precise roadmap to optimize your conditioning and metabolic fuel utilization.
Nutrition Assessment & Diet Analysis
This is where your metabolic data, body composition results, and diet analysis come together into a plan built around your physiology and your life.
Your registered dietitian reviews your test results alongside your food journal to assess calorie intake, macronutrient distribution, fiber, micronutrients, and eating patterns. The session covers individual calorie and protein targets, meal timing, and practical habit-based recommendations based on your life and how you eat day to day.
But it goes beyond the numbers. We address health conditions, eating behaviours, hunger and fullness patterns, and lifestyle factors that influence how your body responds. If relevant, your dietitian can also review blood work and wearable data to add clinical context.
Ideal for: Anyone who understands the value of eating well and exercising but isn't seeing the results they expect, or wants their test results translated into a concrete plan.
Why it matters
Data alone doesn't tell you what to do with it. Your registered dietitian connects your metabolic test results, body composition, diet patterns, and health history to give you the context behind the numbers, and a plan that accounts for your real life, along with your macros.
Exercise Physiology & Movement Assessment
Our exercise assessment and programming are developed with both your metabolic physiology and training load in mind. Movement quality, exercise selection, recovery, and progression are evaluated in direct context of your nutrition strategy—never in isolation.
By integrating advanced expertise in kinesiology and exercise physiology, we bridge the gap between high-performance training and metabolic science. This session is essential if you want your training and nutrition working from the exact same data set, or if you want a program developed by experts who deeply understand how fueling directly impacts adaptation, output, and body composition.
Ideal for:
Performance-Driven Athletes: Individuals looking to optimize their training data, break through plateaus, and align their fueling strategy with high-output performance.
Results-Oriented Exercisers: Anyone looking to assess form, refine their exercise plan, and leverage physiological science for optimal results.
Why it matters
Nutrition and training influence each other directly. Exercise programming that accounts for your resting metabolic rate, body composition, and dietary intake gives your registered dietitian the full picture needed to make recommendations that are grounded in your physiology.

THE REGISTERED DIETITIAN DIFFERENCE
Not all nutrition professionals are created equal.
Registered Dietitian is a protected title under Alberta's Health Professions Act. Anyone can call themselves a nutrition coach, but only registered dietitians have met the academic, clinical, and regulatory requirements to practice dietetics in Alberta by law.
Registered Dietitians are the recognized experts in translating scientific, medical, and nutrition information into practical, individualized strategies, including the interpretation of metabolic testing and body composition data. Every service at Eatuitive is provided by registered dietitians regulated by the College of Dietitians of Alberta.
What that means:
A four-year Bachelor of Science degree in foods and nutrition, with training in nutritional biochemistry, metabolism, and clinical nutrition
Completion of a supervised dietetic internship at approved clinical sites
Successful completion of the Canadian Dietetic Registration Examination (1200+ hours)
Ongoing continuing competence requirements and annual practice permit renewal regulated by the College of Dietitians of Alberta
Governed by the Health Professions Act and the Registered Dietitians and Registered Nutritionists Profession Regulation
Use your insurance benefits
Many extended health plans cover dietitian services, though coverage varies by provider and plan. We recommend checking with your insurer to confirm your benefits.
Do you provide insurance receipts?
As Registered Dietitian and Physiotherapist, our Alberta College registration number is printed on every receipt. While we do not direct bill, 2 types of receipts are available upon payment for reimbursement:
Master Package Receipt: Automatically sent once full payment is received, showing your complete package. We recommend submitting this first — it works for both Health Spending Account and some Extended Health plans. Individual Proof-of-Attendance receipts follow on a per-session basis.
Proof-of-Attendance Receipts: Available upon request, individual session receipts including our RD licence # validating that you showed up for each nutrition session in your pre-paid package are available after each appointment upon request.
To be very clear: Receipts are issued as-is — dates and fees cannot be modified. If you have benefits expiring soon, we recommend to purchase a package, submit the master receipt right away, and book ahead.
Pro Tip:
To help budget, look up Registered Dietitian coverage under paramedical services in your insurance portal and check your plan's Reasonable and Customary Fee (RCF) — this is the maximum amount your insurer will reimburse per session. Dietitian services also qualify as a tax-deductible medical expense.
