About – The Rosie Nutritionist

Hey there!

I’m Rosie, a Canadian-Ghanaian Registered Dietitian, Nutritionist, and Foodie! Regardless of where I am, I focus on making health and wellness more accessible, inclusive, and easy to understand. The Rosie Nutritionist was created to be used as a tool to share information on food, nutrition, health, for the busy professional looking to prioritize their health and wellness.

My Philosophy

All foods fit.

Food is more than the nutrients it provides.

Cultural food is healthy food.

Healthy bodies come in all shapes and sizes.

Health is holistic.

I look at health holistically. This means that you will find uncomplicated recommendations and information on how to improve your health on a day to day basis. You will find easy and affordable recipes, lifestyle tips, and evidenced based articles on wellness and nutrition. I always say, “food is more than the nutrients it provides”, that means I understand that life is about balance and enjoying the foods you love is a big part of wellness. My goal is to remind you to do the best you can, wherever you are at, take the control and learn sustainable strategies to help you achieve your goals.
