Heart health dietitian in Vancouver
A heart health dietitian helps you use nutrition to manage cholesterol, blood pressure, and cardiovascular risk — and to keep those gains for the long run. Jennifer brings hands-on experience from cardiac rehabilitation and preventive cardiology.
Heart disease is shaped by the everyday: what's on your plate, how you move, how you sleep, and how stress lands. Small, consistent nutrition changes are among the most powerful tools for protecting your cardiovascular health — and they work best when they fit your real life.
What we work on
- Cholesterol — dietary patterns that support healthier lipid levels alongside your physician's plan.
- Blood pressure — practical changes to sodium, potassium-rich foods, and overall eating pattern.
- Cardiac rehabilitation — nutrition support after a cardiac event or diagnosis, coordinated with your care team.
- Long-term prevention — building a sustainable, heart-protective way of eating you can keep.
Clinically grounded
Jennifer's clinical career includes cardiac rehabilitation and preventive heart health, partnering with physicians and their patients to prevent chronic disease. That means your plan reflects how cardiovascular care actually works — and coordinates with any medication or treatment your doctor has prescribed rather than competing with it.
How Jennifer works
We start with your history, labs, and the meals you genuinely enjoy, then shape a heart-protective pattern around them. No fads, no all-or-nothing rules — just changes you can live with, reviewed and adjusted as your numbers respond.
This page is general education, not medical advice. Decisions about medication and treatment rest with your physician; Jennifer's nutrition plans are built to support that care.
