About Nicole Arthurs
Hello! I'm a Registered Dietitian with over 15 years of experience helping people build a healthier, more comfortable and confident relationship with food and their bodies.
My approach to nutrition is rooted in the belief that healthy eating shouldn't feel overwhelming, restrictive or complicated. You deserve guidance that makes sense for you, your health, and your everyday life. My goal is to take the confusion out of nutrition by turning evidence-based recommendations into practical, realistic steps that you can feel good about.
I graduated with Honours from the University of Guelph in 2007 with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Applied Human Nutrition and completed my clinical dietetic internship with Hamilton Health Sciences in 2009. Since then, I've worked in primary care, supporting individuals with a wide range of health concerns and nutrition goals. I am a registered member of the College of Dietitians of Ontario and have pursued additional training in several areas of nutrition that I'm especially passionate about.
How I can help you
I help patients living in Ontario who are looking for answers, support and a personalized approach to their health.
Areas of focus include:
- Digestive disorders
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
- Constipation or Diarrhea
- Reflux
- Food Relationship and disordered eating
- Pre-diabetes, Diabetes, and GLP-1 medications
- Heart health nutrition, including high cholesterol and blood pressure
- Women's health and fertility
- General nutrition across the lifespan
Why digestive health is especially close to my heart
My passion for helping others with digestive health comes from personal experience. I've lived with digestive challenges, including IBS, throughout much of my life, so I understand firsthand how frustrating, exhausting and overwhelming it can be to navigate symptoms, search for answers and try recommendation after recommendation without finding lasting relief.
I know what it's like to want answers, to feel frustrated when your symptoms interfere with everyday life, and to simply want someone to listen and understand.
This experience has shaped the dietitian I am today. I recognize that digestive concerns are not just about food. They can affect your confidence, social life, daily routines and overall quality of life. I want my clients to feel heard, validated and supported rather than overwhelmed by another set of rules or restrictions.
You don't have to figure it all out on your own.
If you live in Ontario and are struggling with digestive symptoms, navigating a new diagnosis, looking to improve your relationship with food or simply wanting to feel better in your body, I'd love the opportunity to work alongside you.
