I’m Cameron Murdoch, a Registered Holistic Nutritionist with a lifelong interest in health, movement, and human performance. I’m also certified as a Precision Nutrition Sports Nutrition Coach and a Personal Trainer, and I bring decades of athletic experience—from martial arts and strength training to endurance sports and outdoor adventure—into my work with clients.
My professional path didn’t begin in nutrition. After high school, I trained at the British Columbia Institute of Technology in professional culinary arts and worked for several years as a cook. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for food beyond numbers and macros—how meals are prepared, how flavors work together, and how nutrition has to fit real life to be sustainable. While I eventually stepped away from professional kitchens, those skills remain a core part of how I help people build practical, enjoyable eating habits.
Nutrition became deeply personal when I began my career as a commercial pilot. Aviation demands strict medical standards, yet the lifestyle itself of long hours, irregular schedules, disrupted sleep, and chronic stress works against this. Despite staying active and eating what I believed was well, I experienced weight gain along with rising blood pressure and cholesterol, eventually requiring medication. That moment forced me to look deeper. Rather than relying solely on prescriptions, I began a focused journey into understanding how nutrition, lifestyle, stress, and recovery truly influence health.
Along the way, I discovered how confusing and overwhelming the health space can be. Even with a reasonable foundation of knowledge, the conflicting advice online left me frustrated. More importantly, I began to see how mental health, stress, and nervous system load directly affect eating behaviors, motivation, consistency, and overall well-being.
I have personally navigated anxiety and depressive disorders, as well as ADHD, and these experiences have shaped how I approach health. They have reinforced that well-being is never just about food or exercise alone. Mental health, emotional regulation, sleep, structure, and self-compassion all play a critical role in creating lasting change. This perspective allows me to work with people in a realistic, non-judgmental way, recognizing that progress looks different for everyone.
Movement has been a constant in my life since childhood. I started with soccer, transitioned into martial arts in young adulthood, and expanded into strength training, endurance sports, and outdoor pursuits such as skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, rock climbing, running, and adventure racing. Now in my mid-50s, my focus is on longevity and resilience. I draw on these experiences to coach others in building strength, mobility, and health they can rely on — not just now, but for decades to come.
Today, my work blends nutrition, fitness, culinary insight, and mental health awareness into a holistic, evidence-based approach. My goal is to cut through noise and misinformation and provide clear, practical strategies that fit each person’s physiology, lifestyle, and mental bandwidth.
If you’re looking for someone who understands that health is complex, deeply personal, and influenced by both body and mind, you’re in the right place. I’m here to help you build a sustainable, balanced approach to health that supports not just how you look or perform—but how you feel and function in everyday life.
