Overview
Hello. I’m Joy Erdile (Kiddie), and I’m a full-time Registered Dietitian (post-grad in Human Nutrition). I have 18 years of private practice experience in Routine Health, Preventative Nutrition, Chronic Disease Management, Hormonal Health, and Digestive (GI) conditions, and the multicultural Meal Plans I design are tailored to your specific needs. I have several years of experience designing Therapeutic Ketogenic Diets for physical and mental health, and customized diets for MCAS, hEDS, & POTS. To ensure access to my services, my prices remain within the Reasonable and Customary Fee Limits of major extended benefit providers.
I look forward to supporting your nutritional needs.
“Both Sides of the Clinical Desk”
Drawing on 18 years of evidence-based clinical experience, I provide empathetic services rooted in lived experience in:
✓ resolving symptoms of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and obesity,
✓ years of frustration living with undiagnosed hypothyroidism,
✓ a decade-long diagnosis of MCAS, and family members with hEDS and POTS.
