Renita Lam is a Registered Dietitian practicing in the GTA including Toronto and Markham. From an early age, Renita loved food. In fact, it's difficult to find a childhood photo of her that doesn't involve her holding onto something edible. She entered dietetics for two main reasons: 1) to help others eat foods that they love while also working towards their health goals; and 2) to have a socially acceptable reason to think and talk about food all day.
When you have a health condition or goal that requires changing the way you eat, it can feel like you need to give up all your favourite foods. When you choose to work with Renita, she will help you find that balance between eating for your health and eating for pleasure.
If you've struggled with healthy eating in the past and had trouble "sticking with it", book a discovery call with Renita to find out how she can help - https://renitalam.com/discovery-call/
