Nutrition Support

Nutrition guidance as part of naturopathic care at Evolve — with Dr. Gina Brown, ND.

About Nutrition Support Services

Nutrition support. Dr. Gina Brown brings undergraduate degrees in Human Nutrition and Human Kinetics to her naturopathic practice, alongside her doctorate from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. Nutrition guidance is part of naturopathic care at Evolve — practical, personalised, and built around how you actually eat and live rather than a prescriptive plan. If your goals are primarily nutritional, a naturopathic assessment is the place to start.

Nutrition support is not a separate appointment type. It sits inside naturopathic medicine, which means food is discussed alongside sleep, movement, stress and everything else that shapes how you feel — not in isolation from it.

Conditions We Treat

People usually raise nutrition with Dr. Gina for one of a few reasons:

Common starting points

  • Wanting to eat in a way that supports energy, sleep and training
  • A long history of starting and stopping with food, and wanting a different relationship with it
  • Questions about supplements — what is worth taking and what is not
  • Nutrition as one part of a broader naturopathic plan
  • Wanting a starting point before deciding whether more specialised support is needed

If what you need falls outside naturopathic scope, Dr. Gina will say so and help you find the right practitioner.

How We Treat

Nutrition support begins with a naturopathic assessment. What follows is shaped by what you are actually dealing with:

Naturopathic Assessment

A 60-minute first appointment covering health history, current patterns, and what you want to change. Nutrition is part of that conversation rather than a separate intake.

Practical Change, Not a Prescriptive Plan

Recommendations are built around how you actually eat, cook and live. The aim is a change you can keep, not a plan you abandon in three weeks.

Part of a Whole Picture

Food sits alongside sleep, movement and stress. Dr. Gina works across all of it, and coordinates with the rest of the Evolve team where your care overlaps with physiotherapy, chiropractic or massage therapy.

Group Programs

Where a group format fits better than one-to-one appointments, Dr. Gina runs naturopathic group programs. Ask at your assessment whether one is currently enrolling.
