Nishta Saxena is a Registered Dietitian, practicing since 2005. She is a Paediatric and Family Nutritionist, founder of Vibrant Nutrition, and proud mama of two. Her expertise includes paediatric and family nutrition, and chronic disease prevention and management. In her practice, Nishta helps families through their ever-changing nutritional needs. Nishta believes that nutrition can transform lives, and it is her goal to change lives through her work.
In her practice she helps families through the lifecycle of stages of nutrition, taking a whole food, nutrition-for-real-life approach. She is also known as a “nutrition myth-buster,” promoting evidence-based nutrition rather than food trends.

She completed her clinical dietetic internship at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, and her MSc in Clinical Nutrition Science at the University of Toronto, where she has a faculty appointment in the Department of Family & Community Medicine. A frequently invited speaker at conferences, she presents up-to-date clinical nutrition concepts to physicians and the general public.
