Our Process

Discovery Call

Duration: 15 minutes

A discovery call is a free service provided by our dietitians. It is the first step in your journey and is a chance for us to get to know you, understand your needs, and determine if we are a good fit for each other. It is also an opportunity for you to learn about our process, pricing and service options, and what to expect in working with us. If you have questions regarding our process or approach to nutrition services, this is the time to ask!

If you determine that we are a good fit for you, your dietitian can assist with booking further appointments to get your journey started.

Initial Nutrition Assessment

Duration: 45 minutes

The initial nutrition assessment is required at the beginning of your journey with Revive. This session is an essential part of our process and helps us provide you with the right services. During this session, you can expect us to:

Identify your goals and priorities
Discuss your current diet, lifestyle, and physical activity
Talk about your stress and energy levels as well as sleep quality
Review your health and medical history, lab work, medications, and supplements
Determine the package and approach that best fits your needs
Discuss the next steps and plans for follow up sessions

Body Composition Analysis

* Currently only being offered at our Edmonton location

Assessing body composition is key to tracking progression and change over time in lean mass versus body fat. The first body composition analysis is done shortly after the initial nutrition assessment to collect baseline information. Additional body composition analyses are completed at various times depending on your package; traditionally, we complete a test at the mid-way point and at the end.

For more information on Body Composition Analysis, see this page 🔗.

Although you will notice that only some our packages have body composition analyses included, if this is something you are interested in, these tests can be added to a package or purchased on its own.

If you have never completed a body composition analysis with us before and are not booking sessions with any of our registered dietitians, we recommend you book the Body Composition with Review! This way, our team can review and explain how to interpret the results.

For more information on Body Composition Analysis, see this page 🔗.

My Viva Plan - Our Digital Program

For more information about My Viva Plan, see this page 🔗.

If we feel My Viva Plan is the right fit for you, we will set you up with My Viva Plan after you complete your initial nutrition assessment. My Viva Plan offers support in three main areas: mind, nutrition, and fitness. We will show you how to use this program to suit your needs. Specifically with nutrition, My Viva Plan provides a personalized meal plan framework with two levels of customization, grocery lists, chef-curated recipes, and Vivapedia (our own nutrition encyclopedia). My Viva Plan uses behaviour change tools to help provide additional support in between your sessions with your dietitian and also provides a 6 week fitness plan, workout, yoga, and meditations, and quarterly stress assessments.

Follow Up Sessions

Duration: 25 to 50 minutes

After your initial nutrition assessment, you will continue your journey with follow-up sessions. The number of follow-up sessions needed is determined based on your needs, health goals, and case complexity. These sessions are typically booked weekly in the beginning of your journey to provide you with more support as you practice introducing different strategies and working on your goals. As your confidence builds, your follow ups are spaced out more, allowing for both accountability and sustainable change to become the focus. The aim is to not change everything all at once. Rather, the follow up sessions will be used to set goals in 1-2 areas at a time.

Some Questions You Might be Asking

What can I expect out of a 15-minute discovery call?

Before you book your discovery call, we encourage you to review our website, our team bios🔗as well as our pricing and package🔗ahead of booking your call. This allows you to get the most out of your discovery call.

The discovery call is the first step before booking your initial nutrition assessment. Think of it as a “meet and greet”. Together in the call, we will discuss:

Why you are wanting to work with a Registered Dietitian
Your health goals
Our process and philosophy
How our team can support you
If we are the right fit for you
Which dietitian best fits your needs (review their bios ahead of time here 🔗!)
Which services or programs might be appropriate for you (see a list of them here 🔗)

If you determine that we are a good fit for you, the dietitian will help schedule your initial nutrition assessment. They will also explain what you need to do to prepare for it.

We look forward to chatting with you on how we can help move forward with your health journey! Book a discovery call today 🔗

One of the most common questions we get from clients is: "do you make meal plans?”

Our answer: our team at Revive has created a powerful digital health program called My Viva Plan. Our digital health program uses behaviour change tools to help provide additional support for in-between your follow up sessions with your dietitian that provides:

A personalized meal plan framework with two levels of customization
Grocery lists
Chef-curated recipes
Vivapedia, our own nutrition encyclopedia

At Revive, we believe that there are many aspects to health. One of our goals with My Viva Plan is to teach you about three main areas: mind, nutrition, and fitness. Therefore, it also provides:

Curated fitness plans
Guided yoga and meditations
A library of resources
Weekly health and coaching tips

My Viva Plan is included in our general packages and can be purchased on its own here 🔗. Please note that should your Dietitian feel that this program is not the right fit for you, they will discuss other options.

Why should I get a package? What if I only need one appointment?

Our packages allow you time to work through a journey by allowing time to gain skills and knowledge and understand how to manage your nutrition. Although we would love to be able to tell you we can “solve everything” in a few appointments, we know that behaviour change is hard and takes time. Committing to working on your health with a Registered Dietitian can feel like a big investment in money and time. By committing to work on your health with us guiding, supporting, and holding you accountable along the way, you will feel more confident and able to sustain any changes to your nutrition in an enjoyable and realistic way.

What if we are not a good fit?

Adding a Registered Dietitian to your team is a big step. It’s important that you find someone who can help you work on your goals as well as your areas of concern. Our Registered Dietitians are not all the same and have different specialties. The team bios are where you’ll find this information to guide you in the right direction. The 15-minute discovery call is also a great way to find out if we have what you are looking for and if we can help you with your concerns. If we are not the right fit, that is ok!

Your experience is one of our top priorities; it’s important that you have a fantastic experience with our team. If you are working with one of our team members and you feel that it’s not the right fit, communicate your concerns with us so we can find you a better fit.

Book a 15-minute discovery call if you are ready to take the next step!
