Nourish your HealthTM
Use food to improve your labs and lower (or even avoid) medication while eating in a what that fits with life.
Instead of getting caught up in the hamster wheel of restrictions and yo-yo dieting.
So you can get on to the more important things in life, enjoy food and eating … without chasing a number on the scale.
Why does eating have to feel so hard?
Are you feeling…
- like no matter what you do (or don’t), nothing seems to work
- 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 food choices are taking over your entire day
- frustrated, guilty, defeated, deflated (or any number of other ways) about your eating
What would it feel like to …
- be confident about healthful eating and stop getting lost in the rabbit-hole of online research
- see your labs improve by your next doctor’s visit
- see healthy eating as the easy choice, even when life is full
- learn systems to keep your eating on track (without counting points or calculating macros)
- make peace with food so you can face celebrations head on (and still enjoy those special treats without feeling like you’ve blown it)

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.

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. And 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!
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 differences between the support options?
It’s really just about the amount of personalization you want and need as you work through the topics.
Some people prefer to go through the topics on their own, at their own pace and find the program answers all their questions.
Others want a higher level of accountability or customization as they create their plan and make adjustments.
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’re covered to work with a registered dietitian but not a nutrition-related program, you can also add on individual sessions to compliment your work and ensure the program is covered.
The Kickstarter or Everyday programs may not be covered, unless you choose to add on an individual session with me for personalized assessment and guidance. However, if you have a Health Spending Account, this is often how clients are able to get reimbursement for these programs.
Verifying your coverage with your insurance provider is a good first step. At this point most providers are recognizing virtual care, however this may be something to ask about as well.
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.
Getting extra support can also really make the difference – there’s 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?
No refunds will be made for this program because of the digital content it contains.
All the details about refunds and other policies are available before you confirm your registration for the program.
