Cheers, to a Better You

Welcome,

I’m so happy you found your way here.

I’m Erica Kao, Registered Dietitian and founder of AT · EASE · NUTRITION.

I grew up in Taiwan, and was educated in Canada. I am fluent in English and Mandarin 國語.

My philosophy is simple: food should support your glow, not control it. Together, we’ll bring ease, intelligence, and beauty back into the way you nourish yourself.

This is a space where food supports your life, not the other way around.

It’s a mindful, evidence-based approach to creating a relationship with food — and with yourself, that feels calming and empowering.

FAQs

  • In Canada, only Registered Dietitians (RDs) are licensed and regulated health professionals. Dietitians can interpret labs, create medical nutrition plans, and collaborate with your physician. Nutritionists are not regulated in most provinces, so working with an RD ensures your care is evidence-based and personalized.

  • Yes! All sessions are online — perfect for anyone in Toronto or across Ontario, Canada. You’ll get the same high-quality, one-on-one care as in person, with resources, follow-ups, and digital tools that keep you supported wherever you are.

  • Yes — most extended health insurance plans and health spending accounts in Canada cover Registered Dietitian (RD) services. After each session, you’ll receive a detailed receipt with my RD license number to submit for reimbursement. If you’re unsure, ask your provider: “Do you cover Registered Dietitian services in Ontario?” — most major plans do.

  • Absolutely. My Rise Program supports clients managing prediabetes, thyroid concerns, hormonal changes, or high cholesterol. We’ll review your labs together, design a clear nutrition plan, and build habits that improve energy, metabolic health, and longevity.

  • Yes — I specialize in sustainable, non-restrictive weight management for men and women. We focus on metabolism, hormones, and mindset rather than calorie obsession.

    Together, we’ll build balanced eating patterns, meal rhythms, and stress-supportive habits that naturally align your weight with your health — no extremes, no guilt.

    *If you’re tired of dieting, this approach feels different — and it lasts.
