Brendan Cooke

Food and nutrition advice can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying to manage a health condition, improve your energy levels, navigate digestive symptoms, or simply figure out what healthy eating looks like for you. Brendan Cooke is a Registered Dietitian who has helped clients cut through information overload, building practical, sustainable nutrition habits that fit into the real world. Brendan believes nutrition should feel supportive and intuitive, not restrictive. His approach combines evidence-based recommendations with realistic strategies that work within your schedule, preferences, family life, and health goals. Whether you're looking to improve your relationship with food, better manage a medical condition, achieve sustainable weight management, or build a healthier foundation for long-term wellness, Brendan works collaboratively to help you make meaningful changes with confidence. Brendan holds a Master of Applied Nutrition and completed his dietetic training across a variety of clinical and community settings throughout Southern Ontario. His experience includes working in diabetes education, long-term care, and community health promotion. He has supported individuals managing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, digestive health concerns including celiac disease, malnutrition, weight management goals, and age-related nutrition challenges. In addition to his clinical nutrition counselling work, Brendan has partnered with organizations such as Celiac Canada to develop nutrition education resources and programs for children and families living with celiac disease. He has experience creating accessible, evidence-based nutrition content and is passionate about helping people understand the "why" behind nutrition recommendations. Brendan has a particular interest in diabetes nutrition, heart health, digestive health, healthy aging, and weight management. His experience working alongside interdisciplinary healthcare teams has strengthened his ability to consider the whole person—not just their nutrition concerns—when developing individualized care plans. His approach emphasizes not just healthy eating but building a healthier relationship with food and creating habits that are realistic to maintain. Clients often appreciate Brendan's approachable style, attention to detail, and ability to translate complex nutrition science into practical, bite-sized goals. Whether you're seeking support for diabetes management, digestive issues, heart-healthy eating, or general nutrition counselling, Brendan's focus is on helping you leave each appointment with a clear understanding of your next steps and a plan that feels achievable long after the visit ends. When he's not working as a dietitian, Brendan enjoys interior design, cooking with family, staying active, and continuing to explore new ways to make nutrition education engaging, accessible, and meaningful.
