Annika McDowell

Registered Dietitian

Annika is a Registered Dietitian and a self-proclaimed foodie with an affinity for chocolate, kale, lentils and chocolate-chip cookies.

Annika completed a BHSc from the University of Ottawa, a BScAHN from Mount Saint Vincent University, and a MHSc in Nutrition Communication from Toronto Metropolitan University. 

Annika has made nutrition a focal point of her life through each chapter – from her days as a competitive athlete, to those as a student on a budget, to those as a corporate employee working a 9-5 job, and every point in between. She has a deep understanding of how nutrition can be incorporated into various lifestyles and tailored to meet individual needs. Annika works with clients on a wide range of nutrition concerns, from weight management, to digestive issues, picky eating, sports nutrition, budget-friendly health, plant-based diets, and more. Her goal is to help clients implement meaningful changes to achieve their best version of health and well-being.

Annika believes that by simplifying how we eat we can enjoy the foods we love without feeling restricted. Her approach is rooted in an understanding that our food choices are influenced by a combination of physical, psychological and environmental factors. Armed with this knowledge, we can achieve the results we want by employing evidence-based tactics and behaviour change strategies. Annika takes pride in her empathetic approach and her commitment to fostering a supportive, non-judgemental environment in which her clients feel empowered to adopt new habits and embrace personalized strategies to improve their health. 

When she’s not cooking up new recipes inspired by her latest foodie obsession, you’ll find her swimming, biking, running, hiking, or traveling!
