Dorothy Lyons, Registered Dietitian

Hi, I'm Dorothy Lyons, Registered Dietitian,

With over a decade of experience in clinical nutrition, I've spent much of my career working within some of Ontario's largest kidney disease programs, supporting individuals living with chronic kidney disease through every stage of their journey.

I understand that a kidney disease diagnosis can feel overwhelming, and that nutrition advice is often confusing or conflicting. That's why my approach focuses on translating the science into practical, realistic strategies that fit your lifestyle, preferences, and goals.

I believe nutrition care should be collaborative, compassionate, and personalized. Together, we'll develop a plan that supports your kidney health while still allowing you to enjoy food and maintain the best possible quality of life.

My goal is to help you feel informed, empowered, and confident in managing your kidney disease, one step at a time.

Monica Tello, Registered Dietitian

Hi, I'm Monica Tello, Registered Dietitian.

With nearly 20 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian, I'm passionate about helping individuals and families improve their health through practical, evidence-based nutrition care.

Fluent in both English and Spanish, I've had the privilege of working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and understand the importance of respecting traditions, personal preferences, and lived experiences when developing nutrition recommendations.

I believe the best nutrition care is built on partnership. Rather than simply telling you what to eat, I work alongside you to understand your goals, navigate challenges, and develop realistic strategies that fit your lifestyle and support long-term success.

My goal is to provide a welcoming, supportive environment where you feel heard, empowered, and confident making choices that improve your health and well-being.
