The world is full of conflicting dietary advice, leaving many individuals in their prime feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, and no closer to a solution. At Ascension Longevity and Wellness, we believe you deserve clarity. Nutrition for Longevity is a proactive, DNA-driven approach to fueling a vibrant, full life without complicated or restrictive diets.
As a physician who spent 20 years in conventional medicine, Dr. Jennifer Ward’s personal journey through burnout and obesity taught her that health doesn’t have to be challenging to be effective. We use advanced science to craft a nutritional blueprint that empowers you to rise into your best chapter.
Nutrition for Longevity is at the core of Dr. Ward’s philosophy of reversal, not decline. It is a science-backed, personalized wellness solution that uses food as medicine to optimize your health from the inside out. As a physician, Dr. Ward grew frustrated watching generic dietary advice fail her patients and herself. This approach moves beyond those cookie-cutter recommendations by diving deep into your individual biochemistry, using your unique genetic code to create an effective and sustainable nutritional strategy. This blueprint is designed to help you feel amazing today and extend your healthspan—the years you live active, strong, and free from chronic conditions.
Your journey to a vibrant future begins with a private consultation and our signature DNA and biological age testing. This crucial first step gives us the foundational blueprint for your health. Dr. Ward will then take the time to deeply understand your lifestyle, goals, and daily struggles. It’s a dedicated partnership, not a rushed appointment.
From this wealth of data, she creates your personalized nutritional plan that is both actionable and empowering. Your plan will include specific recommendations for foods, supplements, and lifestyle habits tailored precisely to your genetic makeup. It is designed to be a tool for you, not a burden. We then meet regularly over the next six months to ensure the program is seamlessly integrated into your life, celebrating your progress and making any necessary adjustments along the way.
Our personalized nutrition plans are designed to address the very pain points that midlife women are so often told are just "normal aging." This powerful, foundational work helps to manage and reverse symptoms like:
By giving your body the exact fuel it needs, we are helping you build a foundation of health that makes you feel amazing and vibrant again.
By addressing cellular health at its core, Nutrition for Longevity delivers comprehensive benefits that support and transform your entire body, from your energy levels to your mental clarity.
Choosing a personalized nutrition plan at Ascension is about making a powerful choice for your future, not just your next meal.
As someone who experienced debilitating burnout, Dr. Ward knows that the right fuel can completely change your life. By giving your body exactly what it needs, we unlock a new level of physical and mental endurance, helping you power through your days with confidence and vitality. Your health is not something you should have to worry about; it should be a source of strength.
Brain fog and a lack of focus can make you feel disconnected from your life. Our DNA-driven plans support your brain health at a foundational level, helping to restore mental clarity, improve memory, and bring you fully present in every conversation and moment.
This isn't a temporary fix. Our personalized approach helps you understand how your body processes food, enabling you to manage your weight naturally and sustainably. It’s about building a body that works for you, not against you, for a lifetime of wellness.
The constant stream of conflicting dietary advice can be paralyzing. We provide you with the clarity and knowledge you need to make confident food choices that support your long-term health and well-being, freeing you from guesswork and frustration.
You are an ideal candidate if you are in your prime, tired of generic advice, and ready for a precise, personalized approach to your health. If you feel dismissed by traditional care, or if you simply want to invest in a vibrant future, our program is designed for you. This is for men and women who know they deserve more than rushed appointments and prescriptions and are ready to take control of their health.
This isn't a medical procedure with a recovery period; it's a lifestyle transformation. There is no downtime. Our program is designed to integrate seamlessly into your life with ongoing support. Your recovery is your journey to building new, lifelong habits that will sustain your health and vitality for years to come.
When Can I See Results?
Many clients begin to feel a difference in their energy and mental clarity within the first few weeks as their bodies adjust to their personalized plan. These early shifts are a powerful first step toward the sustained changes you will experience over the six-month program.
How Long Do the Results Last?
The results of your program are designed to be permanent because you are not just getting a plan—you are getting a new understanding of your body. We are giving you the tools to create a sustainable lifestyle. Our six-month partnership ensures you have the support to maintain these changes, empowering you with a blueprint for a lifetime of vitality.
At Ascension, we go beyond standard nutrition to bring you an expertly tailored and comprehensive road map to sustainable vitality. After 20 years in traditional medicine, Dr. Jennifer Ward had her "aha moment" at a longevity conference, realizing that conventional medicine was missing the crucial tools to help people thrive. She knows what it’s like to feel "off" and unheard, having personally navigated battles with depression, obesity, and burnout. This empathy, combined with her innovative, DNA-driven personalization, means your plan is never a one-size-fits-all program but a precise, bespoke solution crafted by someone who truly understands your journey.
As she says, you deserve more than rushed appointments and prescriptions. You deserve precision and care. Dr. Ward is here to be your partner, helping you rise into your next, most vibrant chapter.
DNA-based nutrition uses your unique genetic information to create a personalized eating plan. By analyzing specific genetic markers, we can identify how your body processes nutrients and craft a plan that is scientifically optimized for your health and longevity.
A typical nutritionist provides general guidance, but we take a precision-based approach. We start with your DNA and biological age to eliminate guesswork, creating a plan that is unique to your body. This allows for a deeper, more effective understanding of what works for you.
Our goal is to build a sustainable, joyful relationship with food. Your plan will focus on what your body needs to thrive, rather than restrictive or punishing rules. We work with you to make sure the plan fits seamlessly into your life.
As a concierge-style wellness practice, our services are a direct investment in your health and are not typically covered by insurance. However, many clients find that the long-term benefits in vitality, energy, and a reduced need for future medical care make it a worthwhile investment in themselves.
Nutrition is the foundation of every cellular process in your body. By optimizing your diet with a DNA-driven plan, you're not just improving your digestion; you're enhancing your energy, mood, cognitive function, and the very health of your cells. It's a holistic approach that impacts every aspect of your well-being.
