About me

Hi, I’m Kim Arrey!

I am a seasoned registered dietitian nutritionist in Montreal, Canada, who loves cooking and eating. To me, healthy eating means finding a way to eat a variety of foods that can nourish both my body and my SOUL. You think I only eat “healthy” foods? No, you will definitely find me enjoying ice-creams with my family in the summer. In the end, it’s all about knowing how to make choices to balance between foods that can physically support me by providing me essential nutrients and foods that make me happy. With that said, I never believe in restrictive diets because they take away all the joy of eating and hurt our relationship with foods. When you work with me, you won’t find me forcing you to give up certain foods if you aren’t ready to do so. Instead, we’ll work at your own pace, discover the tweaks you feel comfortable making and empower you with tools, courage and knowledge to help you move forward.

Believe it or not, I have arthritis and a lot of people in my family also have arthritis. Many clients came to me to seek weight-loss support because they’ve been told that their arthritis can be resolved if they lose weight. However, I was sad to see some of them had been following very rigid diets, which kept them in the yo-yo dieting and weight cycling and made them feel stressed and exhausted every time when they think about healthy eating. All of these made me passionate about anti-inflammatory eating and knowing how to manage arthritis through nutrition. Now, as an expert in anti-inflammatory eating, I want to share my expertise in this field with you to help you manage your arthritis, move the way you want to move and live the life you want to live!

From my experience of working with clients, I realize that seeing all that nutrition information in the news or on social media platforms can leave people feeling confused. If that’s you, take advantage of my nutrition blogs and podcasts. As a public speaker, nutrition blogger and spokesperson, I am dedicated to sharing credible information about food and nutrition to help you make healthy eating easier and tastier.
