Eat better, not less.
According to Canadian dietitian and food fan Claudia Lemay, there is no magic diet, pill, potion or practice that can take the place of understanding why your body needs food, what your brain does with those vitamins and nutrients and the damage that dieting does to your health and happiness.
Intentional hunger is a relatively new concept in the history of humans. For tens of thousands of years, humans ate when they were hungry (and there was food available) Food is right there in the first line of the hierarchy of needs. When we do not feed our bodies, things can go terribly, terribly wrong.
We lose so much more than weight when we restrict our food intake. In Hunger for Survival, Lemay uses humor and heart to tackle tough subjects like fat shaming, disordered eating, anxiety, low self-esteem and more. She thoughtfully and intentionally shares the science that shows us why we need to stop starving ourselves and then gives us the tools to do it.
It’s time to start looking at what we really need, not just to stay alive, but to thrive.
It’s time to eat enough.
Eat better, not less.

What they're saying about Claudia
Dr. Claudia was great, very realistic with her suggestions and very helpful with giving me context to support by inflammatory bowel disease. She was very based in science and very easy to chat with. Would certainly call her again to discuss more if other issues come up.
Claudia is a wonderful lady. She spent time with me to gave me lots of positive notes to think, she was detailed in her explanation and made sure I understood correctly. I would highly recommend to consult with her if you are having any problems with health, gut and diet.
Claudia was very thorough and took the time to explain to me how to make my diet healthier and most importantly why and how foods work together. I only wish I had known this information 20 years ago!! Thank you very much for a very valuable session.
Claudia is a fantastic person to talk to who made me feel very comfortable right away. She is extremely knowledgable in nutrition science and was able to break down concepts for me so that I could understand better. She gave me some great ideas and tips to get back on track with my nutrition intake and I would definitely recommend her for any nutritional/diet guidance.
Claudia was absolutely wonderful to meet with. My partner and I left her office feeling, not only so much more empowered in ourselves, but also empowered and motivated to make the recommended changes to our eating habits. We will definitely be going back:).
Claudia's advice was straightforward and effective. She demystified certain concepts for my wife and myself. I would highly recommend a visit to Claudia to help get your nutrition goals on track.
Claudia is very knowledgeable and provides easy to follow guidance. Her caring demeanor and no-nonsense approach is exactly what I needed.
I had an initial assessment and recommendation with Claudia today and it was great! She’s very welcoming and knowledgeable and made it really easy to take what she recommends and implement it in every day life. I appreciated her kindness and ability to explain her knowledge in a way that’s easy to understand.
Claudia was very helpful, uplifting and was able to give me some good suggestions on getting on the right track for a healthier life. She was encouraging. Thank-you Claudia.
