About Ally

Hey there! My name is Ally Choo and I am a Registered Dietitian, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and founder of Body Respect Nutrition. 
 
My Areas of Practice

• ✔ Disordered Eating & Eating Disorders (AN, BN, ARFID, BED, OSFED)
  ✔ Intuitive Eating
  ✔ Plant-Based Nutrition
  ✔ Digestive Health (bloating, IBS, constipation, diarrhea, celiac disease, and other functional GI disorders)
  ✔ Meal Planning & Balanced Eating
  ✔ Chronic Disease Management (diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic pain, fatty liver and more)
  ✔ Mental Health Nutrition (depression, anxiety, ADHD, neurodiversity, and more)

My Approach
I believe that change starts with one small decision. In my practice, I help my clients achieve their health and wellness goals by coaching them on how to form simple habits that will lead to lasting results. By combining the psychology of eating and behaviour change with the most up to date evidence-based nutrition information, I individualize my nutrition recommendations to fit my client’s unique (and often busy!) lifestyles.
 

As a weight-neutral practitioner, I take a gender-inclusive and trans-affirming approach to care. I believe that health is attainable at any weight, shape, or size, and that it encompasses mental, physical, and emotional well-being. My focus is on health gain, not weight loss, and I’m passionate about helping clients cultivate food freedom.

Beyond Nutrition

🎤 Performing at an open mic
🍽️ Exploring new restaurants
🧘‍♀️ Enjoying a yoga class
