Michelle Deschenes, RDT

Founder of ACE Nutrition

Following a 20-year career as a Dietary Technologist in hospitals throughout Canada, I founded ACE Nutrition and Diet Consulting in 2012 because of my passion for preventative health.

It pleases me to help people with everyday challenges of eating so they can be the healthiest and happiest possible. A long and healthy life is ACE Nutrition’s vision for my clients.

I prioritize strategies to optimize energy and health. Taking the fight out of food by combining science and knowledge, I help clients achieve their goals, and bring back the joy of eating.

Registered Dietitian

As a Registered Dietitian, I have worked in various areas of primary care, acute care and post-acute care settings. My expertise is in metabolism and diabetes, complex medical care, stroke rehab, weight management and mental health.

Nutrition does not have to be complicated. I believe that the food we eat should be nourishing and delicious. After all, food sustains life. It nourishes us, its pleasure, taste and adventure. It brings people together.

Providing evidence-based client centered care, I guide others toward reconnecting with food to nourish their bodies while addressing chronic health conditions. After all, our meals should be delicious as nutritious.

Registered Dietitian

I have been a Registered Dietitian for 10+ years with specialization in diabetes, weight management, digestive health, and women’s health. My goal is to make healthy living simple. As a dietitian I feel it is my responsibility to bring insight into many food myths and false trends in the market nowadays. I empower my client with the best possible information about different types of food available and its bioavailability in one’s body. As a result, you learn to synchronize your health with food.
