Andrea Shackel

Dietitian Lead, Registered Dietitian, CDE

Meet Andrea

Growing up in an agricultural family in rural Manitoba, I had always had an interest in food and an appreciation of where it comes from. After being a Registered Dietitian for over 10 years, becoming a Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE), and being a Strategic Centre for Obesity Professional Education (SCOPE) Certified Dietitian, my interest in nutrition and food has continued to evolve and grow.

I have come to realize that being a Registered Dietitian is looking at not just what we eat but the bigger picture. Food is delicious, food can be therapeutic, food is complicated and messy, food is a part of our culture and passed down from each generation, food is enjoyment and social and part of an emotional roller coaster. Learning how to recognize our relationship with food and how complex it can be, allows us to understand our ability and unlock our potential to move forward with our health goals.

I am honoured to be a part of this amazing team at Revive Wellness team and to be able to offer unique opportunities and services to all clients.
