Require a report from your doctor relating to your General Health—Medications—Vitals—Biometric Issues being Treated. The initial class is determined by your Vitals & Biometrics resulting in the number of pre-conditions (chronic health conditions) that impact your susceptibility to mutating viruses such as COVID.
DIET & NUTRITION COACHING
We start with obtaining knowledge of your current diet or nutrition routine diet, which enables our dietitians to provide nutrition diet to improve your health and your goals. We also include education on reading & understanding normal/abnormal Lab Test Results/Vitals.
DE-STRESSING PROGRAMS
Learn the art of de-stressing through Mindful- Meditation programs that enhance your lifestyle and your quality of sleep.
SOCIALIZATION
Learn the requirements of being social for healthy relationships & friendships to enhance mental wellness. Helping others has an internal release of mental balance and satisfaction with oneself.
We coach you to develop lifestyle changes
Our program generally spans three months or 12 weeks, three times a week for a total of 36 sessions.
The program typically includes a combination of:
Professional Exercise Therapy
Supervised medical exercise training with a Registered Kinesiologist to improve cardiovascular and muscular fitness – an assessment will be done to tailor the program to your fitness level. The type and intensity of physical activity recommended will depend on the severity of your pre-existing condition(s) [Comorbidity].
Nutritional Counselling
Nutritional Counselling by a Registered Dietitian to understand your current dietary needs, create sustainable lifestyle modifications and improve your biometrics.
Understand Your Own Biometrics & Vitals
Education on how to understand and read your own biometrics and vitals, manage your personal risk factors, understanding your body’s metabolism, manage your stress and improve sleep habits.
Your exercise routine will include both aerobic exercise (to get your heart rate up) and muscle strengthening activities that may include resistance training. Your personalized program will be based on your age and existing or co-existing medical conditions.
The frequency and duration of various exercises will differ for each participant to some degree.
With the direction of your physician, your team will work with you to choose the best exercises and help you with a workable & effective mobility program.
MEDICAL BASED SOLUTION
Medicine is migrating away from a PHARMA-ONLY solution for wellness. Family physicians, reading a patient’s Lab Test Results including VITALS, are asking their patient to consider altering their lifestyle to improve medical conditions.
Mobility for Stretch & Flex
Resistance Training is equally important for maintaining muscle tone and reducing the strain on aging joints & various muscle groups, especially the back and spine.
Socialization
Humans show a significant relationship between loneliness, leading to anxiety & depression. With COVID, the increased isolation has been mentally difficult like losing a close friend.
COVID-19 has shown us the importance for mental wellness through an expanded REJUV-HEALTH, where we coach the effective solutions to maintain social interactions that will bolster brain health simultaneously. Our REJUV-HEALTH classes emphasize socialization with friendships. This involves sustaining meaning and purpose in life as a core component for life satisfaction.

Diet and Nutrition
Diet and nutrition are essential for weight control, but also understanding what foods the body can effectively metabolize to enhance digestion. Classes are very educational, so the individual relates to their personal lifestyle and diet, while learning what foods their body can digest with aging.

DIET & NUTRITION
Nutritional deficiencies and overall poor nutrition intake may contribute to decline in brain function, mood and energy. Dietitian, Lisa Spriet, identifies the best food choices for promoting healthy brain and body through optimal nutrition and gut health. Some specific recommendations incorporated into the Rejuv protein include
- Having a high fibre diet through whole foods like vegetable, fruits , legumes and whole grains.
- Eat fermented foods daily, such as yogurt, kefir, kombucha, lassi, fresh sauerkraut, kimchi, and fresh fermented vegetables.
- Consume an antioxidant and phytochemical rich diet through colorful vegetables and fruit, herbs and spices and healthy fats.
These foods are established links between anxiety & depression, and other chronic health diseases. Obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardio-respiratory diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, can be altered through healthy gut bacteria and a Mediterranean-style diet that increases the consumption of fish (Omega-3 fatty acids) with plant-based green vegetables that can alter symptoms of anxiety & depression.

As we age, continuous sleep can become more difficult. The patterns of sleep disruption is a major indicator of depression through cognitive decline. Patterns of uninterrupted sleep can help adults with the restorative benefits for enhanced memory retention.
Mindful-Meditation is marvelous for stress reduction, and the reduction in mood and depressive symptoms. A recent randomized controlled trail showed significant reduction in anxiety & depression with Mindfulness & Meditation following YOGA classes.
