Designed by one of Canada’s Foremost Dietitians, Leslie Beck 

Leslie begins by first gaining a complete understanding of your nutrition related health goals as well as your medical history, and diet and lifestyle habits. Depending on your goals, we offer three customized nutrition programs. Each includes a personalized meal plan and regular follow-up appointments for ongoing support, education, and accountability. All of our nutrition programs can be accessed either in-person or virtually for your convenience.  

The Optimal Health & Nutrition Program 

This program has helped clients achieve many different goals including lowering cholesterol or blood pressure, preventing, or managing Type 2 diabetes, healthy weight gain, sports performance, eating a healthy vegetarian diet, healthy pregnancy, and more. 

The Anti-Inflammatory Diet Program 

Adopting an anti-inflammatory diet can help lower the future risk of inflammation-related chronic diseases. If you have a condition that causes inflammation, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, or inflammatory bowel disease, adopting an anti-inflammatory diet can help reduce uncomfortable symptoms. 

The Low FODMAP Diet Program for IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) 

The low FODMAP diet is a diagnostic approach that identifies fermentable carbohydrates that can trigger IBS symptoms including abdominal pain, bloating, gas, distention, and diarrhea. As many as 75% of people with IBS can resolve their symptoms by following a low FODMAP diet. 

Unlike a fasting glucose or hemoglobin A1c blood test, which measure your glucose level at one point in time, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) tracks your glucose levels over the course of the day. Wearing a CGM sensor for 14 days provides real-time feedback on how foods and other lifestyle factors such as exercise, sleep, and stress influence your glucose level. You may also be able to connect glucose readings to how you feel, such as being fatigued, irritable, hungry, or feeling foggy. Armed with this data, you may decide to make lifestyle changes that positively impact your glucose levels and your health. Medcan’s Continuous Glucose Monitoring program includes a consultation with a Medcan registered dietitian, who will review and interpret your glucose data and trends and provide nutrition and lifestyle recommendations you can implement right away.
