Jess Pirnak, RD

Registered Dietitian, Jess Pirnak is a self-proclaimed ‘Wellness Warrior,’ working to support the newly diagnosed!

Jess volunteers to provide new members with a personal welcome and spends 30 minutes answering questions and directing them to local and national resources.

Jess wants to be a part of your wellness journey, starting from the moment that you join the CCA British Columbia.

“Surprisingly,” says Jess, “this service is not well used … maybe because no one knows about it?”

Members can email Jess at nutrition@vancouverceliac.ca to set up a time to connect for a personal half-hour chat.

Jess Pirnak, RDConsult with Jess

“As a dietitian, I translate complex scientific evidence into bite size pieces to offer simple but practical solutions to promote health and manage special health conditions. I love working with individuals and groups to improve their eating habits and to address all their different nutritional needs. As a certified wellness coach, helping clients reach their best selves through meeting their fitness, nutrition and mental health goals is the most rewarding experience. I work with clients with all kinds of goals but my expertise is in plant-based eating, celiac disease and gut health.” Contact Jess here.
