Live life wise

Offering nutritional guidance to those 50 plus years of age in my community so they can lead happier, healthier lives at home.

LONDON, ONT.

Lifewise Nutrition was founded by Registered Dietitian Jennifer Donnelly-Vanderloo who graduated from Western University with a Master’s Degree in Food and Nutrition.

Majority of Jennifer’s career has been spent providing nutritional care to residents in long-term care facilities. Her nutrition interventions helped residents increase their strength, heal pressure injuries and improve their quality of life.

After observing the pandemic's impact on residents, Jennifer realized that a preventative nutrition care approach could significantly improve the skin integrity, muscular strength, bone health, and digestive health of older adults. This, in turn, could help them live healthier and happier lives at home.

Preventative Nutrition is a philosophy used to improve health and wellness through nutrition services before health complications occur such as a fall with bone fracture. Lifewise Nutrition works with you to understand your lifestyle, eating habits, preferences, and goals to ensure that you are meeting the nutritional requirements to remain healthy and independent.
