Calgary Dietitian | Physiotherapy | Exercise Physiology
Raise your baseline.
Nutrition and movement backed by metabolic, VO₂ Max, and body composition testing.
Our team of Registered Dietitians, Physiotherapists, and Exercise Physiologists measure and translate your data into practical habits built for lasting results.
Do you have endless health data, but lack clarity on what your body needs?
Founded in 2016, our dietitian-owned clinic bridges that gap through clinical metabolic testing (RMR, VO2 Max, body composition) with integrated nutrition, physiotherapy, and clinical exercise to turn raw metrics into clear, actionable health decisions.
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: Running gait assessment, injury recovery, root-cause pain management, and return-to-sport performance optimization.
Session 1 — Initial Physiotherapy Assessment
Extended Physiotherapy Running Gait Assessment (75 min): Completed on the same day as your CEP-led VO₂ Max testing, this comprehensive evaluation analyzes your mechanics to ensure your high-output training and performance testing are safe, efficient, and tailored to your body.
Standard Physiotherapy Assessment (45 min) — Designed to assess a specific area of concern. Your physiotherapist will evaluate joint mobility, strength, and movement patterns to map out what is driving your pain, stiffness, or movement limits and identify the root cause.
Session 2 & Ongoing Care — Follow-Up Treatments (30 min): Continue your recovery with a structured, objective rehab plan during our 30-minute follow-up treatment sessions. We utilize a full range of standard, evidence-based treatments to get you back on track—including targeted hands-on manual therapy, joint mobilization, soft tissue release, and progressive exercise prescription.
-
Focus: Data-driven exercise prescription, cardiopulmonary and metabolic assessments, clinical strength programming, and medically safe performance conditioning.
Session 1 — VO₂ Max & Metabolic Testing: An objective, data-driven evaluation of your aerobic capacity. Using gold-standard, mixing-chamber VO₂ Max testing, we pinpoint your exact heart rate training zones, aerobic thresholds, and metabolic fuel crossover.
Session 2 — Data Interpretation & Exercise Prescription: We translate your testing data into a targeted exercise prescription. Leveraging their advanced university-level clinical education, your CEP builds a customized strength and conditioning protocol that goes far beyond standard personal training—ensuring every movement is scientifically backed and tailored to your unique physiology.
Ongoing Care — Clinical Exercise Sessions: Execute your plan with expert one-on-one coaching. As highly trained physiology specialists, CEPs bridge the gap between injury rehab and high performance. We safely manage your training load, refine your mechanics, and use periodic VO₂ Max re-testing to recalibrate your zones as you progress.

Body Composition Analysis
InBody 570, with visceral fat measurement
The InBody scan uses multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance to analyze your fat and muscle composition. This includes a visceral fat score, which is a key indicator of metabolic risk. Highly accurate, it has a 0.99 correlation to the gold-standard DEXA scan, providing detailed fat and lean mass breakdowns for each body segment.
During your session, your dietitian will interpret your results and establish personalized protein targets based on your goals and lean body mass. This allows us to track real, meaningful changes that go far beyond a standard scale.
Arrive normally hydrated, avoiding exercise and excessive food or fluid intake prior to your session

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
REEVUE® Korr Medical Metabolic Analyzer
This simple 10-minute breath test measures your actual oxygen consumption to determine your resting energy expenditure (REE). This is a VO2 test—but instead of max, we measure you at rest. Think of it like a car idling: this is the baseline calories your body uses just to be alive.
Whether your goal is performance, general health, or managing conditions like diabetes, heart health or thyroid issues, this test personalizes your approach. It also screens for a faster or slower metabolism to pinpoint calorie targets for fat loss, muscle growth, or maintenance.
Overnight fast, no caffeine and no exercise day-of prior to test.

VO₂ Max & Heart Rate Zones | Kinesiology
Kinesiology-Led VO₂ Max Testing
Worried about a "max" effort? Don't be. Sub-maximal walking or incline options are available — your kinesiologist will assess what’s best for your fitness level. Even if the test is stopped before hitting your max, the data is still captured to assess your cardiorespiratory fitness.
This 9-12 minute running test uses a continuously calibrated mixing chamber—the gold standard for cardiorespiratory testing. By measuring your oxygen and CO₂ levels, we can see exactly when your body switches from burning fat to burning carbohydrates for fuel.
This physiological data allows us to accurately map out your personalized heart rate training zones. You’ll receive your precise VO₂ Max score immediately after finishing the test, with the report available after our physiologist reviews and confirms the data from the system is accurate.
Advanced data interpretation session with a Clinical Exercise Physiologist is available for an additional fee (wellness account eligible) to pinpoint your Anaerobic Threshold and completely optimize your training plan.

COMING SOON - Running Gait Assessment | Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy Assessment — Available standalone or same-day as Kinesiology VO₂ Max
This assessment is for everyone—whether you are a beginner lacing up for the first time, a dedicated weekend warrior, or an experienced racer. Our running gait analysis benefits runners looking to rehab existing injuries, prevent new ones, and improve overall performance by optimizing both gait and training habits.
Beyond watching you run, your physiotherapist will conduct a clinical screening tailored to your specific needs. This may involve assessing joint mobility, flexibility, or muscle strength to help identify hidden imbalances that could be causing pain or limiting your stride.
Following your analysis, your physiotherapist can offer personalized shoe and training recommendations based on your unique biomechanics and injury history. You might also receive targeted drills and running cues to help address cadence, posture, or asymmetries. To further guide you to your full running potential, ongoing treatment can be customized to include hands-on manual therapy, targeted strength and mobility exercises, or safe load-management strategies to keep you running strong.

REGISTERED DIETITIAN NUTRITIONISTS IN CALGARY
No more guessing your calories, protein, and macros.
Most calorie and macro targets are derived from generalized equations. Yours are measured directly.
We quantify your resting metabolic rate and VO2 Max using indirect calorimetry and your body composition using multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis.
Your registered dietitian then interprets that data alongside your diet analysis to determine individualized calorie, protein, and macronutrient targets specific to your physiology and dietary intake.
