About

My Story...

My name is Rebecca (Becca) Ourique and I started Keen on Nutrition in 2018 after I decided to quit my corporate job and pursue my passion of becoming a Registered Dietitian, specializing in plant based nutrition. 


I’ve been studying nutrition, fitness and the food industry since 2007 but it wasn’t until I transitioned to a plant based diet in 2015 that I began to see the benefits introducing more plants into your diet could have on your overall health and wellbeing. It’s what motivated me to continue to dive deeper into the subject matter and I enrolled in Cornell’s plant based nutrition certificate program. 


The more I immersed myself into the plant based nutrition industry, the more I began to see the detrimental impacts misinformation from unqualified sources were having on people’s lives, this was the tipping point for me, and what prompted me to quit my corporate job and enroll in the University of Western Ontario’s Dietetics program at Brescia University College.


I want to be a trustworthy and reputable source of nutritional information to help people make lasting, holistic changes to their life. I'm in the final chapter of my student journey, obtaining a Master of Health Science degree while completing my supervised practical experience with Toronto Metropolitan University and its partners. My areas of focus include digestive disorders, nutrition for athletes and all things plant based!


I am so excited to be on this pathway and to have you come along with me. Be sure to follow me on Instagram (@keenonnutrition) and reach out if you have any questions about nutrition, fitness or wellness goals.
