This service is for startups/ businesses in Montreal and Quebec that want to offer their teams direct access to a registered dietitian, rather than generic online content. It is particularly suitable for organizations with a young workforce, many working parents, or fast-paced teams in technology, law, finance, and accounting.

A nutrition session is a concrete signal that the well-being of your team matters.
A new home for the well-being of your teams
Nuome comes from "nu," meaning new, and "home." For a company, offering this access means giving each employee a reliable, human resource to ask their nutrition questions, rather than generic content consumed alone, without follow-up or the possibility of real interaction.

What to expect
-
We start with a 15- to 20-minute call to understand your team's needs, your industry, and your goals (retention, energy, prevention). We then suggest a format and one or more custom workshop titles, along with a clear proposal. On the day itself, the session is interactive and hands-on, with time set aside for questions. A summary or resources to share with employees are available as an optional add-on afterward.
Scope of practice
These sessions provide general nutritional information; they do not replace individual follow-up. Employees with a specific medical issue are referred for a private consultation.
FAQ
Do you work with small teams? Yes, the format can be adapted for groups of 5 to 100 people and more.
Do you offer multi-month series? Yes, a series generally has more impact than a single session.
How can you measure the return on this investment? Participation, employee satisfaction, and HR indicators such as absenteeism, to be discussed based on your internal tools.
What is the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist? In Quebec, there is no difference: "dietitian" and "nutritionist" are both protected titles designating the same profession, reserved for ODNQ members. This distinction matters because it isn't the case everywhere in Canada: the title "dietitian" is protected in every province, but protection of the title "nutritionist" varies by province. In some provinces, anyone can legally call themselves a "nutritionist" with no university training or professional oversight.
