Hello! My name is Andrea Docherty and I am a Registered Dietitian & Sports Nutritionist, food lover and owner of Andrea Docherty Nutrition in Windsor, Ontario.  If you are looking for a fresh perspective on nutrition, evidence-based advice and how to improve your overall health – you’ve come to the right place!

I take a non-dieting approach, meaning I will help you find a balanced lifestyle and way of eating that works for you. I have developed many tips, strategies and tools for healthy eating over the years and I am excited to share them with clients!

Sports Nutrition

Ever since I started training for triathlons 10 years ago (now I just bike and run for fun and to stay active), I became fascinated with learning about sports nutrition and how to fuel my body so that I could perform my best during those summer races. I have always enjoyed helping people improve their health and become the best versions of themselves. I worked as a personal trainer and for a short time ran my own personal training business before becoming a dietitian. I love working with athletes of all levels achieve their performance goals and have worked with many endurance athletes, hockey players, and wrestlers.

Speaker

In addition to individual coaching, I love sharing my passion for nutrition and educating groups. I am a regular guest speaker at The Running Factory’s running clinics, to local sports teams and workplaces. I have also been a regular on the TKO Show with Kara Ro as a nutrition expert for 1.5 years and have a regular spot on That Sports Show on YourTV Windsor.

My past work experience as a dietitian includes being a clinical inpatient dietitian at the Multi-Organ Transplant program at Toronto General Hospital, and as an In-store dietitian in grocery stores. I have also worked at the Dialysis unit and Multi Care Kidney Clinic at Windsor Regional Hospital. I have a strong background in clinical nutrition and working with many health conditions such as diabetes, heart, liver and kidney disease, as well as  as weight management, IBS and nutrition for all life stages.
