Lucy Brunke
Online Plant-Based Dietitian in British Columbia
Hi! I’m Lucy, a plant-based registered dietitian and nutritionist. Read below to learn more about me and how I can help you.
Digestive concerns are common and can significantly impact daily life. I offer in-depth nutrition assessments to help uncover potential triggers and contributors to digestive symptoms.
A balanced eating pattern is the cornerstone of overall health. I support clients with personalized nutrition guidance that aligns with their individual needs, daily routines, and long-term goals.
I provide tailored sports nutrition strategies to support proper fueling, performance, and recovery. My approach is informed by personal experience in bodybuilding, trail and ultra-endurance running.
I help clients explore and apply intuitive eating principles to rebuild trust with food, improve their relationship with eating, and move toward a more flexible and peaceful approach to nourishment.
As a mother who followed a plant-based diet throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding, I understand the unique nutritional demands of this stage of life. I support expectant and new parents with evidence-based guidance, practical strategies and ongoing support.
Toddler/ Child / Adolescent Nutrition
With hands-on experience guiding a child through a plant-based upbringing, I take an evidence-based approach to supporting growth, development, and the development of a healthy, positive relationship with food from an early age through adolescence.

Lucy and Her Journey with Plant-Based Nutrition
Why I Became a Dietitian
I’ve always been drawn to science, but my interest in nutrition truly grew when I began to see how scientific concepts translated into real, meaningful improvements in health and well-being. Understanding how nutrition can influence health outcomes, quality of life, and overall enjoyment of food solidified my decision to pursue this field. I’m passionate about sharing the benefits of evidence-based nutrition and helping clients use it as a tool to support their long-term health.
Why I Follow a Vegetarian / Plant-Based Diet
I was raised following a vegetarian diet and it has always been a natural part of my life. During my nutrition studies, I transitioned toward a plant-based approach as I learned more about its impact on exercise performance, recovery, longevity, and overall health. Over time, it became a lifestyle choice, further reinforced by its ethical and environmental benefits. Whether you choose a plant-based diet for health, ethical, or environmental reasons, I’m here to support you and help you optimize your nutritional well-being.
