Nutrition Consultation in South Shore, Montreal
Nutrition consultation at Clinique Revive provides individualized, evidence-based dietary guidance for patients with specific goals or conditions — managing diabetes or pre-diabetes, lowering cholesterol, supporting fertility, navigating pregnancy or postpartum, addressing iron or B12 deficiency, managing IBS or other GI conditions, building sustainable eating patterns for weight management, and supporting recovery from disordered eating with appropriate clinical oversight. The visit is not a generic meal plan and not a list of forbidden foods.
It is a conversation about what you actually eat, what your goals are, and what realistic change looks like for your life.
Real-life starting point
The visit starts with a 24-hour or week-typical dietary recall, not an idealized food log.
Conditions and goals matched honestly
Recommendations vary by goal — diabetes management is different from fertility support, which is different from athletic performance.
No fad diets
The clinic does not recommend extreme restriction, cleanses, or short-term diets that do not survive month two.
When a nutrition visit is the right step
Nutrition consultation suits patients with a specific medical or lifestyle goal that diet can meaningfully support: blood-sugar management, blood-lipid improvement, GI symptoms, nutrient deficiencies, gestational nutrition, food allergies and intolerances, or sustainable weight change. It is not a quick fix for weight loss without behavioural change, and it is not a substitute for psychological care when food behaviours signal an eating disorder — in those cases the clinic coordinates appropriate care.
Patients on medications that interact with diet (warfarin, MAOIs, certain thyroid medications) particularly benefit from a structured nutrition discussion.
Preparation for a nutrition consultation
Track what you eat and drink for 3–7 days before the visit if possible — be honest, not aspirational. Note your goals, what has worked or failed in the past, time and budget realistic for cooking, and food preferences or restrictions (cultural, religious, ethical, allergies).
Bring recent lab results if relevant (HbA1c, lipid panel, iron, vitamin D, B12, TSH). Bring a current medication and supplement list.
If you have a chronic condition, bring the most recent specialist report.
Follow-up and long-term plan
You leave with specific, achievable changes — not a 30-page handout. Typical follow-up is at 4–8 weeks to review what worked, what did not, and to adjust.
Sustainable change takes months, not days; the clinic plans accordingly. If labs were ordered, results inform the next visit.
Coordination with your family physician or specialist happens with your consent. The goal is independence, not indefinite visits — most patients reach a stable plan within a few sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a nutritionist the same as a dietitian?
In Quebec, the regulated title is ‘nutritionniste’ (or dietitian-nutritionist), held by members of the Ordre professionnel des diététistes-nutritionnistes du Québec. The clinic identifies the credentials of the practitioner you will see.
Will you give me a meal plan?
If a meal plan helps your goals, yes. For many patients a structured framework with flexibility works better than a fixed plan they cannot sustain.
Is this covered by insurance?
Many private insurance plans cover registered nutritionist services partially or fully. The clinic provides a receipt for submission.
RAMQ generally does not cover private nutrition consultations.
Do you support patients on weight-loss medications?
Yes — for patients prescribed weight-management medications, nutrition support helps maximize benefit, manage side effects, and protect lean mass during weight loss.
