What is Queerly Nutrition?
Queerly Nutrition is a Canadian virtual nutrition practice offering affirming, inclusive care to every individual. Founded by Registered Dietitians Craig Pacheco and Gordon Ly, the practice provides weight-inclusive, evidence-informed care that values body diversity, intersectionality, and trauma sensitivity.
Specializing in 2SLGBTQ+ nutrition, Queerly Nutrition supports chronic disease management, digestive health, and overall well-being through personalized plans that prioritize health outcomes and mental health over weight.
By centering lived experiences and rejecting diet culture, the team empowers people to foster compassionate, sustainable relationships with food and their bodies. We also provide group training on inclusive, trauma-informed care for healthcare professionals.
What is a Queer Lens to health, nutrition, and food?
A Queer Lens on health and nutrition recognizes that wellness is not one-size-fits-all. We use the word queer not only for the community it represents, but for the spirit of difference it embodies. Historically, queer has meant different — and we embrace that. At Queerly Nutrition, we proudly do things differently, redefining what inclusive, affirming nutrition care looks like. It challenges mainstream norms by honouring diverse identities, bodies, and lived experience. This approach acknowledges the impact of stigma, discrimination, and trauma on health while promoting care that is inclusive, body-affirming, and rooted in social justice. A queer lens moves beyond restrictive diet culture and binary health models, instead centering autonomy, resilience, and community. In nutrition, it means supporting clients with personalized, weight-inclusive guidance that respects their unique needs, identities, and goals—free from judgment or assumptions.
