What Our Clients Are Saying
I have always had a very unhealthy relationship with food that I’ve never been able to break. Bissan helped me develop healthy habits. Now I prefer them over my old eating and exercising habits, Bissan has been non-judgemental throughout, which made feel really comfortable. She is so encouraging and just overall amazing! I’m pretty happy with my current meal plan, I’m seeing results as I go.
Nourhan E.
Nav is actually the best to work with. She’s relentlessly positive, yet real. I never feel judged, and she’s been great at helping me adjust my meal plans and nutritional goals as my life changes/ I meet new challenges. 10/10!
Marcie Pridding
From when I first sat and spoke with Nav at NutriProCan, I was immediately impressed with her vast knowledge and approach to nutrition and sincere interest in my overall wellness. That combined with her positive attitude and sense of humor made her a perfect fit for me. And along with their partnership with Nutrigenomix, I was presented with science backed knowledge with real world application. Too often we hear recommendations or read statistics but never really appreciate what it means to us individually, and that is where NutriProCan, Nav, and her partners bring this tailored information to meet your personal needs and goals. Though I was already quite well informed in this space and have always taken ownership of my own health, since working with Nav I have reduced the number of supplements I take, have added back nutrients into my diet that I was lacking, and improved my knowledge of how my body works below the surface. Added bonus? I also discovered that I was covered under my group benefit plan.
Michael Gillespie
I reached out to Molly a few months ago after seeing that she specialized with IBS cases. I had been struggling with the general IBS symptoms for some time and even with knowledge of the prescribed diet (Fodmaps) I was not having success and seeing fluctuations in my body. Molly was fantastic in getting me back on track, through positive mental thinking, and helped me through the elimination diet (which is harder than it sounds!). I’m now more confident about what I eat, when I eat it, and how. I don’t get bloating anymore, which was the biggest inhibitor for me – physically and mentally.

Nothing but a fantastic experiences! They are very knowledgeable in peoples dietary needs. Meals plans are filling & delicious and dietitians are very nice and want you to succeed in meeting your goals and helping your healthy eating journey ever step of the way.
Anthony V.
Molly McLaughlin is a true educator and a terrific Coach! This past winter i was lucky to have Molly take me on a journey for 12 weeks. Each week she gave me practical strategies to improve my overall health, raised my awareness about what i was eating and small incremental manageable steps to change my habits over time. Molly was in tune with how much data i could absorb at once and at the end of our program she made a difference to me! Molly is very good at her job and i would highly recommend her.
Paula H.
Nesrine was awesome! She kept the kids engaged which can be a challenge with 9-15-year-olds! She knew exactly what to focus on (during her sports nutrition seminar and workshop) and when to push ahead. Her pictures were funny for the kids. It rained so we had to keep them inside so it worked well.
Katy M., Highland Country Club
Nav is actually the best to work with. She’s relentlessly positive, yet real. I never feel judged, and she’s been great at helping me adjust my meal plans and nutritional goals as my life changes/ I meet new challenges. 10/10!
Marcie Pridding
With Lisa (Spriet), I received diet plans with suggested foods that are in, and foods that are out. Many helpful recipe resources, lots of encouragement and support. I received in depth information on how my body uses the calories I provide it with and information on how to support essential and necessary nutrient intake. Tests that determined a pre-diabetes diagnoses and high cholesterol also has made it necessary to change everything for my new me, my future self. Food choices are now thoughtful and necessary. It has become not a second nature, but a first. It does not stop there. There has never been a reproachful or critical word come from Lisa; she instills the confidence in you that you have it in you to be successful. The Nutriprocan environment is calm and professional.
Michele
I had a very pleasant experience with NutriProCan. I went to the clinic in order to look at my eating habits and try to make life changes in regards to food dependency. Navreeti was amazing! She really listened week after week, setting attainable goals as well as providing suggestions when I struggled. She is always so positive, friendly and motivating. I have learned so much about myself and nutrition that have made positive impacts in my life. Highly recommended.
Sylvie Makkreel
NutriProCan is an amazing dietitian! I reached out to them last summer because I hit a plateau. No matter how much I exercised, I wasn’t seeing much progress. I considered myself a healthy eater and I was constantly reading or watching different things online trying find the right combination. There’s so much contradictory information and sorting through it all alone can be maddening. One meeting with Nav changed everything. She helped me immediately put structure and understanding in my nutrition plan, and most importantly we figured out what works best for me. I started seeing immediate results. We meet once every month or two – whether in person or remotely – and she’s always responsive if I have any questions in between. Nutrition is an integral part of any fitness goal and anyone at any part of their journey would benefit from working with a registered dietitian. NutriProCan is highly recommended!
Tarek Elgammal
I have been meeting with Nav since September 2019 until now. She has been so helpful in many ways. I have always considered myself a healthy person with my diet and exercise but still felt “off” most days which is why I decided to look for help. I have had digestion issues, not sleeping well and low energy. A friend recommended NutriProCan to me and I haven’t looked back!! Nav at NutriProCan is my Dietitian and she is amazing! She is very knowledgeable, non-judgmental and helps me put everything into perspective. I highly recommend seeing Nav or anyone at NutriProCan for a healthier lifestyle whatever your reason is. I strongly believe it is important to invest in our health as we only get one body!!
Christine Beer
I started seeing Nav in August of 2019. She has made an enormously positive impact on my life and my health. She was able to correct some bad choices and offer some very simple solutions and options that made the process of losing weight much simpler than I thought it would be. She has continued to support my journey and our regular meetings offer an opportunity to adjust on the fly which is something I appreciate as well. In the time since our first appointment I have dropped a BMI grade, reduced my BP and cholesterol, and eliminated the need for pain killers for my arthritis as I’ve lost over 20 pounds and the reduced stress on my joints is palpable. I consider her to be a valuable asset and look forward to continued success with her guidance.
Michael Carr
Nav has been great to work with! She is down to earth, professional , passionate, always listens to my concerns, and takes the time to offer the best advice that can be implemented easily with my lifestyle. I have been seeing her for almost a year and I have learnt a lot. I will continue to see her for many years to come. She provided me a list of very helpful tips mentioned during the appointment, making it easy for me to remember my focus points for the upcoming weeks and the discussion we had. Now I feel healthier, thanks to NAV. I highly recommend NAV.
