Game changer! The doctors/nutritionist here have been truly helpful without a doubt. They are the only doctors I’ve seen for my specific concern who actually make me feel heard, I feel they are legitimately compassionate and I’m extremely thankful. 5 stars isn’t enough.

Sarah is amazing. I have lost 25lbs. She does not act like my health concerns are all in my head. She truly listens and answers all questions. I've had a reduction on many symptoms that I have including chronic migraines and she will continue to work with me to get the rest under control. Excellent nutrition program they are offering.

I have been getting nutrition consultations from Sarah Sumbal, she has helped make me feel more energized and healthy through her diet plans she has created for me.
~Shae Trustpilot
I have a nutritionist, Sarah Sumbal and it has been amazing. She is very helpful, kind, patient, very knowledgeable and professional. Always listens and considers my needs versus the traditional straight forward consulting. Always keeps in mind the foods I actually can eat and what is available to me. It has been great, I would recommend her to anyone anytime.

First of all, I'd like to start off this review by being completely honest. Like a few others in the comment section, I'd also subscribed for the yearly membership at Your Doctors Online mistakenly thinking I would only be charged $20 a month but was charged $240 up front instead (with no option to switch or cancel plan until next year) so initially felt quite upset and skeptical about my choice. Nonetheless, I decided to still give the app a try and here I am now. It has been about two months for me on this platform but so far my experience with it has been quite satisfactory. All the prescription slips, lab requisitions and medical leaves are offered free of cost after consultations, as part of the yearly plan and you'd only be paying out of pocket for any medications or lab reports you agree to receive, which I find quite fair. Not to mention, the added convenience one has of having easy access to the services at any time of the day. The Customer Support Team has also been very helpful by swiftly resolving any issues that arose and was able to get back to me within minutes of making a request. \n\nWhat I like most about the app so far, however, is the Pilot Program being offered under the yearly membership, which provides the user free one-on-one virtual counseling sessions related to both Nutrition and Mental Health. As for how that went, most of the problems and symptoms I was experiencing were addressed by Nutritionist, Dr. Sarah in the first appointment itself, and a diet plan was introduced right away with follow-up sessions in to track my progress.

Frequently asked questions
Do you need a referral for nutritional counselling in Canada?
In most cases, you do not need a referral to start an online nutritionist consultation. However, coverage and requirements may vary depending on:
- Your province (Ontario, Alberta, BC, Quebec, etc.)
- Your employer benefits plan
- The type of service you are seeking
You can start your consultation right away without delays.
What is the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist?
Both terms are used interchangeably. While all dietitians are nutritionists, not all nutritionists are dietitians. A dietitian is a regulated healthcare professional in Canada, while the term nutritionist is not regulated in all regions. This means dietitians must meet strict licensing and education standards, whereas nutritionists’ qualifications can vary. Both dietitians and nutritionists can provide personalized diet plans and support you on your weight loss journey.
How much does an online nutritionist cost in Canada?
We offer flexible subscription plans starting from as low as 20$ that give you access to ongoing care. Pricing is transparent and designed to be more accessible than traditional in-person visits.
Can I consult a nutritionist online for weight loss?
Yes. Many patients use our online nutritionist services for weight loss support, focusing on sustainable, realistic habits.
How are sessions conducted?
You can talk to a virtual nutritionist via chat, phone, or video, whichever is most convenient for you.
What if I need more than nutrition advice?
If your symptoms require further evaluation, you can receive further care:
- Get a lab requisition online
- Talk to a doctor about underlying conditions
- Get prescriptions online when medically appropriate
Are your providers dietitians?
Our service provides access to online nutritionists who offer personalized nutrition guidance. If you require specialized medical or regulated dietetic care, we can help guide you to the appropriate next steps.
