Scientific evidence strongly demonstrates the immense healing benefits of whole-food plant-based (WFPB) nutrition.  It is effective in helping patients lose weight for the long term without counting calories.  Yes, you read it right – eat to satiation, without calorie-counting.   It has also been proven to help prevent, better manage, and possibly reverse digestive issues and various lifestyle diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, non-alcoholic liver disease, arthritis, and certain cancers.

Whole-food plant-based eating does not need to be all or nothing.  Let me show you practical and enjoyable ways to add more plant foods in your daily eating patterns.  You will soon discover that plant foods are more pleasurable, affordable and sustainable than you think!  After all, who does not want to add life to years and years to life?

Personalized Nutrition Counselling

Everyone is different.  We’ll meet online or in person, and have a comprehensive discussion about your personalized health and nutrition needs.  I will help you define your personal health goals, and set a realistic plan with practical actions to achieve your goals.  I will also support meal-planning by showing you how to do it or by developing meal plans for you and your family, to achieve nutritional balance.

Corporate Presentations

Having both food and nutrition expertise and a strong investment background, I will help corporate players – owners, board members, employees, just to name a few – make the connection between health and wealth.  I made numerous corporate presentations to audiences of different sizes from various businesses and not-for-profit organizations in my investment career.  I’ve have conducted nutrition workshops and food demos to groups of varying ages, cultural backgrounds, socioeconomic status and education level.  I excel at captivating audiences through engaging activities and breaking down complex evidence-based nutrition science (and investment knowledge in the past) into relatable, bite-sized messages.  Let me help you shape your corporate health and wellness goal(s) and design the most effective deliverables for your unique audience.

  • Individuals or groups booking multiple services
  • Individuals or families interested in a sliding scale
  • Anyone who takes a serious interest in WFPB-eating

What about payment?

• • Many employee benefits plans provide coverage for dietetic services and permit direct billing to them. Receipts will be provided for payments for my services for income tax or insurance claim purposes.  Please check your eligibility for tax deductions or insurance plan reimbursements as you see fit.
  • Payment needs to be received by the commencement of each private consultation and grocery store tour unless covered by a benefits plan. Interact e-transfer is welcome.
  • Appointment cancellations are understandably unavoidable at times. Please contact me via email (info@DebbieFongRD.com) or by phone with at least 24-hour notice, so that we can reschedule your appointment.  However, you will have to be responsible for full payment if cancellation notice is less than 24 hours.

Now, let’s connect.  I am available in person and virtually.  I look forward to working with you from all Canadian provinces, except for Alberta, British Columbia and Prince Edward Island.
