Evidence-based nutrition counselling for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and healthy aging. Personalized virtual care across Ontario designed to help you feel stronger, healthier, and more confident.
You’re not alone. Midlife can bring changes that affect how you feel, how your body responds, and what it needs to thrive.
At Spark Nutrition & Health, we help women navigate these changes without restrictive diets, quick fixes, or unrealistic expectations. With personalized, evidence-based nutrition support, we’ll help you understand what your body needs and build healthy habits that work in real life, so you can feel stronger, healthier, and more confident in your body.
Perimenopause and menopause can bring significant changes to your body. Shifting hormone levels can influence body composition, muscle and bone health, cardiovascular risk, sleep, and overall well-being. At the same time, your nutritional needs and health priorities may be changing too. Working with a Registered Dietitian can help you cut through the overwhelming (and often conflicting) nutrition advice and focus on what actually matters for your health. Through personalized nutrition counselling, we can help you:
Manage weight and body composition in a sustainable way
Optimize protein and fibre intake
Preserve muscle and support healthy aging
Support heart, bone, and metabolic health
Manage blood sugar and cholesterol
Improve energy, digestion, and overall diet quality

Founded by Jenn Giurgevich, MScFN, RD, Spark Nutrition & Health helps women navigate the changes that come with perimenopause, menopause, and healthy aging through personalized, evidence-based nutrition counselling. We understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition. That’s why we work with you to create realistic, sustainable strategies that fit your lifestyle, preferences, and health goals—without restrictive diets or unrealistic expectations.
Our clients choose us because we offer:
A perimenopause dietitian provides nutrition guidance to help women navigate hormonal changes, weight fluctuations, digestive concerns, low energy, and overall wellness during the perimenopausal years.
While nutrition can’t stop the hormonal changes of menopause, it can help you manage weight, preserve muscle, improve satiety, and support your overall health. A personalized approach can make it easier to build sustainable habits that support long-term success.
A balanced eating pattern that includes protein-rich foods, vegetables, fruit, whole grains, healthy fats, and calcium-rich foods can support overall health during menopause. The best approach is one that is nutritious, enjoyable, and sustainable for your lifestyle.
There isn’t one “best” diet for perimenopause. The most effective approach is one that is balanced, evidence-based, and tailored to your individual health needs, preferences, and goals. At Spark Nutrition & Health, we focus on realistic, sustainable habits rather than restrictive diets.
Protein needs vary based on age, activity level, muscle mass, and health goals. Many women benefit from increasing their protein intake during midlife to help preserve muscle and support healthy aging. A Registered Dietitian can help determine what’s right for you.
Symptoms vary from woman to woman but may include hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood changes, brain fog, vaginal dryness, weight changes, and reduced muscle mass. Nutrition can play an important role in supporting your overall health during this transition.
Every person’s journey is different. Some notice improvements in energy, eating habits, or digestion within a few weeks, while goals such as weight management or body composition changes may take longer. Our focus is on creating sustainable habits that lead to lasting improvements in health.
Many extended health benefit plans cover services provided by Registered Dietitians. We provide detailed receipts that can be submitted for reimbursement under most insurance plans. Coverage varies by provider, so we recommend checking with your insurance company for details.
