Pamela Fergusson, RD, PhD
Specialty: Plant-based diets, plant-based families, weight loss, gut health, hormones
I have worked as a Dietitian in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia for organizations such as Unicef and the World Food program. I have broad and diverse experience as I have worked in research and teaching as well as public health and clinical practice. I am fascinated by nutrition and I love bringing wellness and fitness into my own life. I eat a whole foods, plant-based diet and I love to cook and bake with my four children. Fitness brings joy to my life; I am a runner and speed walker and I’ve completed five half marathons, one marathon, two ultramarathons and one self-styled Ironman. I believe in the power of activity to help improve our mental and physical health. I bring all of this joy and experience to my practice.

Debbie Fong, RD
Specialty: Weight management. Prevention and management of chronic lifestyle diseases. Digestive health.
I am a clinically trained registered dietitian in Ontario, Canada. I speak English and Cantonese. I am currently a consulting dietitian to a couple of medical offices. I also manage my private practice, offering in-person, home and online consultations to patients with weight issues (without imposing the burden of calorie-counting), digestive problems and various chronic diseases (e.g. diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol).
Being a vegan for 10 years, I am passionate about sharing the healing benefits of whole-food plant-based eating. It can add years to life and life to years. It is also friendly to our wallet, animals and the planet.
As a strong believer in giving back, I volunteer as a dietitian for several charitable organizations, such as Toronto Vegetarian Association and Toronto Vegetarian Food Bank. I have also been invited by the Canadian Liver Foundation, University Health Network (UHN) and a number of church organizations to make live and webinar presentations on healthy eating and nutritional tips for various population segments, such as patients with liver disease and adults over age 55.
Plant-based eating does not need to be an all-or-nothing dietary regimen. Whether you are curious about plant-based diets, or eating on a budget, or suffering from chronic diseases, I can help. Through personalized nutrition counseling or group discussions, you will feel empowered and motivated to make behavioral changes for your health goals. Plant-based eating is more pleasurable, healthful and affordable than you think!

Anneke Hobson RD, MPH
Type of Practitioner: Dietitian
Specialty: Pregnancy, babies, and kids, plant-rich diets (vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, flexitarian), heart disease prevention and management.
Short Bio: Hi! I'm Anneke (“the Kiwi RD”), a registered dietitian offering one-on-one, virtual nutrition counseling across Ontario.
I've specialized in vegan, vegetarian, and flexitarian diets since becoming a dietitian in 2017, and I've followed a vegan or vegetarian diet for most of my life. Many clients tell me that they feel pressure from dietitians or other healthcare providers to eat meat, dairy, or eggs, and are excited to find a dietitian who can help them without compromising their values and ethics. That's what I'm here for!
I specialize in pregnancy, feeding babies and kids, plant-based diets, and managing chronic conditions, especially cardiovascular (heart) disease.
If you're pregnant or planning a pregnancy on a vegetarian or vegan diet, come and talk to me so we can protect your health and your baby's health, and make sure you're getting everything you need. I also specialize in feeding babies and kids, so if you're raising your kids vegan or vegetarian, I can support you with starting solids, helping them to get adequate nutrients like protein, calcium, and iron, and with navigating picky eating. If you're managing a chronic condition or working to prevent a chronic condition, I can also support you with things like lowering your cholesterol, improving your liver health, or addressing gut issues. Even if you're just not feeling your best, for example feeling extra tired, it's worth investigating to see if dietary changes or supplements might help. Diet and nutrition are connected with so many different symptoms and conditions!
I take a weight-inclusive, intuitive eating approach to help you address your health while maintaining a positive, relaxed relationship with food.
You can book a free, 15-minute consult call with me at www.thekiwird.com. I can't wait to meet you!
