Ariadne Legendre

Hi, my name is Ariadne.   As a dietitian, with a Masters of Science in Food and Nutrition, I understand the role nutrition, exercise, and managing stress plays in disease prevention and overall quality of life. 

Every day we make important choices about the food we eat and the way we live.  I truly believe that we should choose wisely and be able to enjoy life to the fullest!  As consumers we need to make informed decisions about our health.  The field of nutrition and the food industry continue to get a lot of attention, and we no longer have to sacrifice flavour for healthy.  I am very excited to be on the Health Check team and part of these exciting discussions.

Before joining Health Check I worked for several years in Texas and in Quebec, educating and promoting healthy eating and healthy lifestyles with young mothers and their children. I have learned that healthy eating as part of a healthy lifestyle is not as easy as we would like it to be and can vary greatly from person to person.
