The Nourish your Health Program
Build sustainable eating habits so you can lower your health risks, improve your labs, avoid medication and get to your best weight without being the one on a new diet every month.
Are you feeling…
- like no matter what you do (or don’t), you’ll end up with diabetes or have a heart attack just like your mom, dad, sister, brother …
- that healthful eating is too hard, too expensive and just not realistic
- confused by what you read online about how to eat for your health
- like making food choices is taking over your entire day (and it still doesn’t seem to be making a difference)
- frustrated, guilty, defeated, deflated (or any number of other ways) about your eating
What would it be like to have …
- confidence and optimism when it comes to eating
- the knowledge about what to eat for your health
- an understanding of how to make healthy eating an easy choice
- organized systems to use in your daily life to keep your eating on track over the long run (without counting points or calculating macros)
- an improved relationship with food so you can face celebrations head on (and still enjoy those special treats without feeling like you’ve blown it)
You’re at a time in life when you’re thinking more about your health. You’re not 20 anymore, after all. You want more years to enjoy the people you love. You have many more things to do in life. And you don’t want to get diabetes like mom or dad did … or have a heart attack.
You’re feeling stuck, you know you should make some changes, maybe lose some weight to help your health. But it’s hard. And you’ve tried … but even when you do try a new diet or lose some weight, you just can’t seem to make it stick.
It feels like no one thinks you’re doing enough to prevent diabetes or a heart attack though because you don’t want to eat the same thing every single day. Or try supplements or go keto (or another extreme diet) or get a gym membership.
Why does eating have to be so hard?
Everyone has an opinion. There’s a lot of questionable info online. Your doctor is great but just tells you to “Google it” and the public health dietitian has a months-long waitlist …
introducing …
the Nourish your Health Program
Control your health before your health controls your life
Get the accountability, resources, strategies and support you need to make sustainable, life-long changes in your eating and overall lifestyle so you can focus on living your life instead of chasing health.
Who is this Program For?
This is for you if you …
- are at risk of health concerns related to your heart health, blood sugars or weight
- have extra weight that’s been creeping on over the years from less-than-healthful habits
- are feeling confused by all the messages out there and are unsure of how or where to start
- want more personalized information and accountability than what you’d get from a 2-hour healthy eating class
- want credible answers to your questions instead of going a rabbit hole with Dr. Google or trying to figure it all out yourself
overview
Program Principles
Discover how mindset and self-awareness can help you set the stage to end dieting and find your fit as you improve your eating and lifestyle habits.
Getting comfortable with flexibility is key when re-writing habits and living new routines so you don’t fall off the wagon at the first bump in the road.
Consistency comes from having systems in place that work within your life … not from your ability to put your head down and power through.

Hi! I’m Angela
Dietitian, NYH program creator
After years of hearing the same story from people struggling with the early signs of chronic conditions, over and over, I created the Nourish your Health Program.
Even as a health professional, I feel the pull of the online promises, wonder about my future wellness and sometimes rely on take-out to put supper on the table for my young family.
Eating for health doesn’t have to feel so hard. You can do enough … without restriction and feeling left out at the party or overwhelmed with trying to get it perfect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this program help me lose weight?
The Nourish your Health program is not a program that focuses on intentional weight loss.
Many of the participants do lose weight because of the healthful habits that they build. But the focus is not in chasing a number on the scale.
The people who have the most success with the Nourish your Health program are ready to let go of on-and-off yo-yo dieting. They see that it hasn’t worked for them and are now facing a need to improve their health.
It’s proven that your weight doesn’t measure your health. But your habits do.
Letting go of ‘weight’ as the only way to measure success allows many of the NYH members to actually make life-long changes that feel comfortable and successful.
Some people lose their extra weight with new habits and have an easier time keeping it off because the routines work with their life (not against it).
Some people stop gaining weight.
Some people don’t lose pounds on the scale but see a change in their waistline.
Some people’s biggest successes include increased fitness and strength, improvements to their labs, lower medications, better blood pressure and/or blood sugars … all of which help them feel better day-to-day.
And almost all participants say they feel better about their eating, have an easier time making food choices, know they can eat this way for years to come and have generally less stress when it comes to food.
Is everything online? I'm not good with computers.
Yes, this this an online program, but as long as you can
1. create an online account with a username and a password
2. check your email and click a link in it
3. and/or download and open an app (optional)
… you’ve got this!
All of the program content, extra resources, payments, appointment scheduling, forms, check-ins, community chat area and messages with me are kept in one place within your online client portal. Your portal can be accessed on either a desktop computer or through the mobile app.
I've had high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes for years - is this program still a fit?
Whether you’ve had health concerns for years or are just hearing about them now, if you don’t feel like you’ve been able to get a handle on your eating or overall lifestyle habits to manage your health, this is likely still a good fit for you.
If you need a higher level of individualized care for your diabetes though, such as eating to match insulin or dietary restrictions to manage kidney disease or dialysis, this might not the best fit for you.
I’m happy to chat more about your specific health situation and health priorities – book a free Introduction call here.
Will I get a meal plan to follow?
I totally get that having a meal plan makes if feel like you’re doing something about your eating!
I do share a couple of sample meal plans in the program, just so you can see what eating could look like.
But meal plans tend to give people a false sense of security with their overall plan.
Premade meal plans don’t consider your preferences or what’s in your fridge on any given day or allow for flexibility when unexpected things happen in life. They don’t make room for celebrations or events and don’t encourage you to listen to your hunger. They don’t know your culture, cooking skills, specific medical concerns or food budget. They don’t adjust to the season of the year or the season of life you’re in.
Plus I’m not going to be there with you for the rest of your life … and who wants to carry around measuring cups or a set meal plan?!
I think you get my point.
In the program, I teach you ways to add all of these factors into your own eating pattern so you can plan meals for your life … instead of making your life fit into a meal plan.
What's the difference between the 2 support options?
Month-to-month access
This option includes the Nourish your Health program, access to the growing resource library, all new content and updates added as well as weekly accountability check-ins and monthly monitoring by me. It does not include any individual sessions however these are available to add-on as you want.
Paying month-to-month gives you the flexibility to say in the program for the length of time you want. You can come and go, depending on what you need for resources or support.
Some people prefer to have a set committment, which has some accountability built right in – if this is you, the 4-month customized Program Plus+ might feel like a better investment. Or you may choose to sign up for month-to-month with a specific end-date right from the start.
Month-to-month access is also an option for ongoing support after completing the Program Plus+.
4-month customized Program Plus+
Get all that’s included in the Nourish your Health Program plus …
- monthly individual sessions
- weekly journal reviews with feedback
- access to ask questions anytime
This is where you can take the program content and really apply it to you, your routines and your health priorities.
Signing up for a four-month commitment gives some people a set timeframe, a specific focus over the 4 months and a little extra accountability to themselves as they make this a priority in their life.
Plus, research shows that with focused changes to your lifestyle and eating habits for at least 3 months, you can improve a number of health outcomes including cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
Is this program covered by my insurance?
Each employer works with the insurance company to decide what and how much will be covered in your policy.
If you are covered to work with a registered dietitian, this program fits into that. Regardless of the support option you choose, Angela will be involved in providing nutrition education, recommendations and monitoring your progress. It’s not a DIY course!
At the end of each month or after each session, you’ll be given an Official Receipt either to use for reimbursement or for your records if you are Direct Billing.
Verifying your coverage with your insurance provider is never a bad idea though. At this point most providers are recognizing virtual care, however this may be something to ask about.
Do you just teach the same generic info I got already from the 2-hour class at the health centre?
Some of the ideas may be the same as what you’ve heard before, but with this online format, I’m able to go more in-depth and give you more hands-on activities to help you understand and apply the information to your life.
So while it might start out as a fairly generic topic, with the added resources and worksheets, you’ll work through it and take what fits best with your health priorities and routines.
You also have access to a variety of supports during your time in the program, including the private community chat area as well as weekly check-ins from me to help keep you going.
It’s this support that really makes the difference – there is NO shortage of information available online … but the difference between knowing the info and actually using it comes back to guidance and support on taking those steps toward making a habit of it.
Can I get a refund if I change my mind?
Refunds can be requested within the first 7 days after you register for either option of the Nourish your Health Program.
Your refund amount will be pro-rated to account for any services you’ve used within the program.
All the details about refunds and other policies are available before you move forward with your registration for the program.
