I’m Madeline and I am a registered dietitian (RD)!

Madeline Erlich RD

A bit about me

What sets me apart from other nutrition professionals?
I completed 1425 hours of practical training through the Diploma in Dietetic Education and Practical Training program at the University of Western Ontario, and passed a comprehensive credentialing exam. In addition to these, I completed a Bachelor of Applied Science in Nutrition and Food at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) and a Bachelor of Arts in Health Studies at Queen’s University.
Continuous Learning

Clearly I enjoy learning, and though I am now a practicing RD, I feel that my education will never be complete. Reading research allows me to incorporate not only the tried and true methods of nutritional care and disease prevention and management, but also the latest methods being investigated, into my practice. In addition to reading the research, I participate in it. Since 2021 I have been pursuing a PhD in Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto, under the supervision of Dr. John Sievenpiper. My research is focused on the impact of dietary changes on metabolic health, which is also my area of interest and practice.

What does "Metabolic Health" entail?

Metabolic health is essentially being free of any metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes or heart disease, or their risk factors.
If you’ve been told by your physician that you have metabolic risk factors, such as elevated blood glucose, high total or LDL (bad) cholesterol, low HDL (good) cholesterol, or above normal weight or waist circumference, you have come to the right place. Addressing risk factors before they progress into disease is a cornerstone of my practice. If you have been diagnosed with a metabolic disease already, nutrition is a vital part of disease management and disease progression prevention. Or maybe you’re just a ‘healthy’ person, free of disease risk factors.

Let’s use nutrition to keep it that way.
Beyond "Metabolic Health"
A special interest of mine is Celiac Disease.

I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2015, and the early days of navigating a strict gluten free lifestyle was a rollercoaster, to say the least. I am here to help others following a gluten free diet and support them on their journey back to good health.
