TIPS BY CERTIFIED NUTRITIONIST BONNIE FLEMINGTON

hen Bonnie Flemington wishes you a Healthy and Happy New Year, she means it quite literally – and can help make it happen. As a Certified Nutritionist and owner of Bonnie Flemington Wellness in Oakville, she coaches clients in person and virtually, designing a personalized and guided nutrition plan to help address issues like inflammation, arthritis and joint pain, digestive issues and weight management. She speaks from experience when it comes to dealing with inflammation and pain. “My first career was as an accountant and although I was active and practiced yoga, I had a nagging pain in my hip. I went to a doctor and unfortunately didn’t come up with any solutions. I started experimenting with my diet by giving up gluten and then sugar for a few months and tracking how I felt. Sugar is linked to inflammation but it’s not the only thing.” 110 | January • February 2024
“There are other problematic foods like gluten. My experience drove me to learn more about health and nutrition. I discovered the life-changing impact that diet and lifestyle had on my health. I went back to school for two years and earned my Certified Nutritional Practitioner (CNP) at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition. I have since completed several continuing education courses to help support clients with inflammation, digestive issues and hormone imbalances.”
