Lindsay Gervais

About

Hi! My name is Lindsay Gervais. I’m a Registered Dietitian and my goal is to help clients learn how to make food choices without stress, guilt, or anxiety. My practice is 100% virtual, and I work with clients in Alberta.

Early on, I discovered that my true passion is nutrition counselling, and connecting with people from all walks of life. I work 1:1 with clients to help them ditch the diet mentality, and improve their relationship with food with intuitive eating principles.

I have six years of experience in eating disorders, including mild/moderate disordered eating across the spectrum. I recognize that many individuals struggle with disordered eating patterns (e.g. skipping meals), but may not meet “diagnostic criteria” for an eating disorder. If you feel anxious, stressed, or guilty when making food choices, I am here to support you throughout your journey towards a neutral relationship with food.

I also have experience in vegetarian/vegan diets, PCOS, celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and pediatric nutrition (including intro to solids & picky eating).

I am a published co-author for a peer-reviewed scientific journal – a project that gave me infinite respect for anyone who works in research! I had the opportunity to attend the 2017 ASPEN Clinical Nutrition International Conference in Orlando FL, where our research team was awarded the International Poster of Distinction. I am confident in my public speaking skills, with experience presenting to a wide variety of audiences from critical care physicians to junior high students.

In my free time, I enjoy mountain biking, snowboarding, and spending time with friends/family and our new rescue dog Benji. Like most dietitians, I am a foodie and I love trying new recipes and restaurants.
