Kate Chury, B.Sc. - Food, Nutrition, and Health
Kate Chury worked as a Registered Dietitian for 15 years. She started her career as a clinical dietitian in Victoria, B.C. after graduating from the University of British Columbia, Bachelor of Science Dietetics program (with Honours). She continued her work as a clinical dietitian in a large city hospital in Vancouver, B.C. working with patients struggling with specialized medical issues such as eating disorders, and kidney disease. Kate later relocated to Calgary, Alberta where she worked as a dietitian in private practice. Her services ranged from meal planning and general healthy eating to specific issues like disordered eating, intuitive eating, allergies, food intolerances, kidney and cardiovascular health, and management of gut health, including the Low Fodmap Diet for individuals dealing with IBS.
While working as a private practice dietitian, she gained a greater appreciation of the skills people need to work on in order to manifest good nutrition at home. No matter the nutrition goals or needs, good nutrition starts with knowledge about food, preparation and planning. Good health really does start at home.
Kate strongly believes in helping people develop a healthy relationship with food while inspiring their efforts in the kitchen. She encourages everyone to enjoy their food regardless of their dietary needs. Kate helps clients take the uncertainty out of eating, and to strengthen their relationship with food. She strives to help people ditch the negative mindset of deprivation and gain confidence both in their skills to nourish themselves.
In 2021, the spirit of adventure took hold and Kate moved to Paraguay, with her husband and kids. She now lives in the rural, Paraguayan countryside surrounded by farm animals, fruit trees and a big garden. By integrating her clinical nutrition experience with her current pursuit of growing, raising, and preparing wholesome and flavorsome food, Kate hopes to merge the world of nutrition with homestead living. She is excited to share her knowledge with others and learn together in this intersection of lifestyles.
