PERSONALIZED AND HOLISTIC APPROACH

Aglaée struggled with her weight for years while adhering to the old mentality of strict calorie counting, excessive cardio and low-fat diets, but she is now able to manage her PCOS and digestive health (post-infectious IBS and SIBO) by eating REAL food. Dealing with the daily struggles associated with losing weight, balancing blood sugar levels and getting rid of sugar addiction, she really understands the journey to healthier eating. Whatever your diet looks like now, Aglaée can help you take the next step to improving your eating habits to naturally optimize your health and well-being by using a personalized and holistic approach. No cookie-cutter recommendations and diet plans. Aglaée provides nutritional recommendations that are customized for you to help you reach your goals.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

Aglaée obtained her Bachelor’s and Master’s in Nutrition from Laval University in Québec City, Canada in 2005 and 2007. After working as a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator for several years, in various locations such as gyms, governmental agencies and a community diabetes education program, she realized she wanted to spend some time traveling before planting roots in one location. 

Aglaée headed to South America and was the first dietitian volunteering in Puerto Ayora, Galápagos, Ecuador, where obesity and type 2 diabetes are on the rise. This traveling experience opened her mind and allowed her to start listening to various nutrition- and health-related podcasts during her long bus trips. She even took an online workshop from Mat Lalonde on a 24-hour bus ride between Guayaquil and Lima. At one point, she just couldn’t dismiss all of the evidence against low-fat diets and whole grains anymore. In 2010, she adopted a low-carb diet and, a few months later, started playing with the principles of the Paleo diet and hasn’t looked back since.  


A POLYGLOT AND CITIZEN OF THE WORLD

Aglaée fluently speaks, writes and reads English, French and Spanish. She also had the opportunity to live in North and South America, Australia and now Europe (Germany), which allows her to easily adapt and customize her nutrition advice according to where you live in the world.
