Pros
- Handles pediatric and adult
- Provides nutrition-based solutions for digestive disorders
- Handles women’s health
- Speedy responses
Cons
- Closed on weekends
Ignite Nutrition is all about sorting out those gut problems. They’re good at dishing out nutrition-based fixes for everything from IBS, chronic constipation, and chronic diarrhea to reflux (GERD), diverticulitis, functional dyspepsia, gas, bloating, Celiac disease, and more.
They’re also pros at handling women’s health concerns for issues like PCOS, hormonal imbalances, and fertility. Plus, they’re all about making long-term behaviour changes that fit seamlessly into your life—none of those dreadful diets or exhausting routines.
Their expertise covers nutrition counselling for both adults and kids. With a team of dietitians and psychologists, they take a holistic approach, making it easy for us who only know what “eating carbs” means, to navigate our food journey.
We’ve also noticed that Ignite Nutrition nails it with those detailed meal plans, especially for parents looking to safely introduce solids to their infants.
The adults who dealt with IBS, GERD, heartburn, and other GI issues were pretty happy with their experience. The nutritionists were not judgmental and listened to every little detail – yup, even if we mentioned how we’re extremely sensitive to gluten and dairy.
Lastly, we’re happy that Ignite Nutrition is highly responsive and always quick to return calls for new and existing clients. Just a heads up though, they’re closed on weekends, so keep that in mind when you’re planning any consultations or meetings.

Pros
- Offers services to individuals and businesses
- Offers in-person and virtual nutrition counseling
- Consultants for the food and grocery industry
- Friendly and informative team
- Provides online tools and resources
Cons
- Closed on weekends
- Pricing is available upon request
Health Stand Nutrition Consulting Inc. is a team of professional nutritionists and virtual online registered dietitians offering nutrition counselling. From meal planning to weight concerns and eating disorders to picky eating, they’ve got you covered – even tackling food allergies, growth issues, diabetes, and beyond.
They offer in-person and virtual counselling for a more flexible schedule, especially for busy clients or businesses. And it’s been pleasant so far – we’ve easily set appointments with them for initial consultations, and they’ve been lovely throughout.
Their online resources and tools are also something we’re keen on. You can access online courses, meal plan kits, and newsletters written by their dietitians – and they’ve got over 10,000 subscribers, which we think adds credibility.
We also love that they’re nutrition consultants for the food and grocery industry. We saw how they amp up marketing strategies and innovation for healthy brands and even lend a hand by creating editorial content, videos, and media spokesperson contributions.
With all the services they offer, it’s a bit of a bummer they don’t have basic pricing info on their website, so you’d have to request and wait for their response, which might be a hassle if you’re in a hurry.
But other than that, the team behind Health Stand Nutrition has a good reputation for being friendly and supportive, especially for clients with anxiety and hesitation in pushing through with their wellness journey.

Pros
- Offers free testing session
- Conducts crucial tests and provides data
- Has clients portal and tracker
- Offers direct billing for Blue Cross plan members
Cons
- Pricier than others
Eatuitive Nutrition tackles its services by starting with its Metabolism and Body Composition Tests, led by their dietitian, guiding you to tailor your diet and exercise for optimal results.
Those tests they do, like their body composition and RMR test, give you the lowdown on what your body needs. It’s all about figuring out how many calories, protein, and other factors that can shake up your eating habits for the better.
Another plus is that they’re right by your side throughout your fitness journey, and they’re great at staying in touch for follow-up chats. In these sessions, they review your progress, discuss what you’ve learned, and are all ears for any thoughts or concerns you might have.
They’ve also got this convenient portal and tracker, which we love because it helps you keep track of your progress, stay in the loop with your plan, and make the most of your nutritionist’s expertise.
However, keep an eye on their prices because they’re a bit on the higher side, with their Testing Metrics Sessions starting at $240. But the good news is they do offer direct billing for Blue Cross plan members and accept insurance, as long as it’s part of your coverage.
4. The Centre For Family Nutrition Ltd.

Pros
- Has an online booking system
- Excellent with child and family nutrition
- Offers free discovery calls
- Offers various packages
Cons
- Closed on weekends
- Slightly pricier than others
- No in-person appointments
As the name suggests, The Centre for Family Nutrition Ltd. is great if you’re looking for a nutrition guide and support for the whole family. This means they provide nutritional solutions for prenatal, babies, toddlers, children, teenagers, families, and adults.
We’ve heard from some clients that their issues and concerns get tackled step by step. We put it to the test and props to them for sending a summary email after each session since it’s convenient to have all that info and feedback in one place, like a useful paper trail.
But their consultations and sessions are all done virtually, so forget about in-person appointments. On the bright side, they have a user-friendly booking system that displays the sessions and their availability, making it easier to plan a suitable schedule.
You can also view their pricing on their booking system, which we feel is a bit pricey. If you’re not willing or comfortable spending around $170 to $190 for an initial consultation, you might want to continue your search.
Regardless, it’s neat that you can go for their free discovery calls to see how they can help. Plus, they offer different packages that can run for up to eight months for full family support – quite the sweet deal, eh?

- Pricing is available upon request
Chelsey Love Nutrition has a knack for helping individuals and families ditch yo-yo dieting, fads, and gimmicks with nutrition counselling and meal planning to fit your needs and lifestyle. They offer solutions for weight loss, heart health, cholesterol-lowering, cardiovascular diseases, emotional eating, and more.
While they may not offer the widest range of services compared to others on this list, we can’t deny their impressive track record of satisfying clients. They have many long-term clients who continue to seek their expertise even after five years.
They also focus on packages that aren’t about quick fixes or crash diets – no supplements, powders, or meal replacements here. Instead, they lay down a solid foundation of healthy eating habits, helping us understand what kinds of foods our bodies really need.
As for pricing, you need to contact them and ask for a quote because it isn’t posted on their website. And heads up – they’re closed on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays, so if you reach out during those days, expect a bit of a wait.
On a positive note, we’re impressed by their online nutrition programs because they allow you to access your personalized meal plans on your phone to stay on track and keep yourself accountable.
