Hugh Flint is a holistic nutritionist, professional chef, and the founder of Whistler Living Kitchen. His work is driven by a simple goal: helping people optimize their health so they can feel energized, resilient, and fully engaged in life.
Hugh is a Certified Nutrition Practitioner (CNP) through the Institute of Holistic Nutrition and a Natural Nutrition Clinical Practitioner (NNCP), a professional designation granted by the Canadian Association of Natural Nutritional Practitioners. He works with clients through Whistler Wellness, supporting individuals who want to improve digestion, energy, mood, stress resilience, hormonal balance, body composition, and sports performance.
Nutrition is deeply personal. With so much conflicting information circulating in the media — restrictive diets, intermittent fasting, plant-based, carnivore — it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Hugh’s approach is to cut through the noise and help each client discover what truly works for their unique body and lifestyle. Through personalized nutrition strategies, targeted supplementation, and compassionate coaching, he helps people make small, practical changes that can create powerful shifts in how they feel day to day.
Hugh’s work is grounded in the powerful relationship between the gut, brain, and nervous system. By focusing on real food, metabolic health, and nervous system balance, he helps clients cultivate vibrant energy, clear thinking, healthy digestion, and a body that feels strong and capable.
Originally from Adelaide, South Australia, Hugh’s path into nutrition began in professional kitchens. As a lifelong chef, he developed a deep respect for whole ingredients, seasonal cooking, and the joy of sharing meals with others. Over time, the intensity of the food industry — along with personal experiences of burnout and stress — sparked a deeper curiosity about health, resilience, and the profound impact food can have on how we feel.
Today, Hugh brings together culinary expertise and holistic nutrition to support people in reconnecting with nourishing food and sustainable health practices. In addition to one-on-one nutrition coaching, he creates personalized private dining experiences and leads cooking workshops, talks, and community events designed to inspire healthier, happier living.
Whether he’s working with a client, teaching a class, or preparing a meal, Hugh’s goal remains the same: helping people feel nourished, supported, and fully energized for the lives they want to live.
