DIETETICS
Dietetics that fits the way you actually eat and train.
Registered Dietitians who give you the plan you'll keep, not the one that reads well on paper.
OVERVIEW
What does a Registered Dietitian do?
At Launch Rehab, dietetics is most often paired with rehab: supporting tissue recovery, sport-specific fuelling, weight goals tied to joint pain, and chronic-condition management. Registered Dietitians (RDs) in BC are regulated by the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC; the title is protected and the work is grounded in clinical nutrition science.
At Launch Rehab, dietetics is most often paired with rehab: supporting tissue recovery, sport-specific fuelling, weight goals tied to joint pain, and chronic-condition management (diabetes, IBS, lipid management). Sessions are 1-on-1 with a written plan you leave with.
Common reasons clients see our RD: recovering from injury or surgery, training for an event, managing IBS or other GI symptoms, body composition goals, and prediabetes or type-2 diabetes management.
Our approach covers mindful eating and intuitive eating principles, practical sports nutrition for training and competition, and sustainable habit building around balanced nutrition. We also support specialized needs including carb loading and running fueling strategies for endurance athletes, as well as plant-based eating plans that meet protein and micronutrient targets.

KIND WORDS
What our clients say.
"After seeing different physiotherapists and chiropractors for over 10 years, I can confidently say Byron is one of the best physiotherapists I’ve worked with. From my very first appointment, he established that the goal wasn’t just to treat my pain temporarily, but to build a strong foundation so my back could heal properly for the long term. He took the time to thoroughly assess my condition and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. For the first time, I truly understood why I was experiencing my symptoms and what the recovery process would look like. What really sets Byron apart is how thoughtful and patient he is. He always explains the purpose behind every exercise and how each one fits into my recovery plan. If an exercise feels too difficult or aggravates my symptoms, he genuinely listens to my feedback and quickly modifies the exercises so I can continue progressing safely. I never feel like my concerns are dismissed, and I always leave each session feeling informed, heard, and supported. After just one month of following his treatment plan, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my back pain, strength, and confidence with movement. Although recovery will still take time, it’s been incredibly encouraging to regain a sense of control and independence in my daily life. It’s reassuring to see real progress after struggling with recurring back issues for so many years. Another thing I really appreciate is the teamwork at the clinic. If I’m unable to see Byron for one of my appointments, he collaborates closely with the another physiotherapist (Harleen) and thoroughly communicates my condition, treatment progress, and goals. Because of this, I never feel like I’m starting over with someone new. It’s reassuring to know I’ll receive the same high quality of care regardless of who I see. Overall, I’ve had a positive experience at Launch Rehab. If you’re looking for a physiotherapist who takes the time to educate you, creates a personalized recovery plan, and genuinely invests in your recovery, I highly recommend Byron. The quality of care I’ve received has been exceptional, and I’m incredibly grateful for his help."
