–Dr. Jennifer Ward
For Dr. Jennifer Ward, a board-certified physician with over two decades of medical experience, the path to Ascension was a profoundly personal one.
After years of diagnosing and managing disease in traditional settings like general medicine and women's health, she recognized a profound gap in conventional care: the lack of proactive tools to truly cultivate health before illness took hold. This personal mission became the foundation of Ascension Longevity & Wellness.
Dr. Ward's extensive medical training includes board certification by the ABIM, NBPAS, and advanced longevity certifications from the HEA and A4M. This comprehensive background, along with an award as a Women in Medicine Top Internist, gives her a unique authority. Having personally overcome battles with depression, obesity, and burnout, she approaches every client with that same profound empathy, using DNA and biological age testing to craft bespoke plans that are never one-size-fits-all. Dr. Ward is here to offer you the precision and compassionate care you deserve, helping you feel like yourself again—or maybe for the first time.
"We don’t accept fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, or pain as normal. This isn’t about managing decline — it’s about reversing it." –Dr. Jennifer Ward
At Ascension Longevity and Wellness, we’ve re-imagined the journey to optimal health. It begins not with a rushed diagnosis, but with a precise blueprint of your body: a DNA and biological age test. Dr. Jennifer Ward uses this foundational data to create a program tailored exclusively for you. This isn't a cookie-cutter plan; it's a dedicated partnership designed to decrease your biological age and extend not only your lifespan, but your healthspan.

As women journey through midlife, hormonal shifts can bring a cascade of symptoms—from persistent fatigue and mood swings to disrupted sleep and low motivation. Dr. Ward, who has spent 19 years as a practicing physician, understands these challenges are real, and she believes they are not a normal part of aging that you have to endure. Reclaim your vitality with our evidence-based hormone optimization programs, tailored specifically to your biochemical profile. Unlike generic prescriptions, bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to those your body produces, providing a natural pathway to re-establish balance.
For many women, the frustration of stubborn weight gain in midlife can feel like an unsolvable puzzle, despite all efforts. At Ascension, we can help achieve sustainable results with our medically supervised weight management solutions that address your unique metabolic factors. Our Medical Weight Loss program is not a fleeting diet plan; it's a comprehensive, physician-guided journey. We utilize advanced tools like GLP-1s and other prescriptions to help you get your metabolism back on track, but we combine this with a precision-based plan for nutrition and movement, and Dr. Ward’s holistic, empathetic approach.
In traditional medicine, problems are often treated one at a time, leaving you with a fragmented picture of your health. Dr. Ward’s philosophy is to see your full story. Our Integrated Care approach is our commitment to looking at the entire person, not just the symptoms that pop up. This process begins with our signature DNA and biological age testing, which gives us the precise data needed to create your unique wellness blueprint. We then work with you over six months, taking a proactive approach to your health by addressing the root causes of imbalance through a cohesive plan that combines nutrition, hormones, peptides, and other therapies.
The constant stream of conflicting advice about what to eat can be paralyzing, leading to frustration and a feeling of being "off." At Ascension, we replace guesswork with precision. Our Nutrition for Longevity program is a bespoke wellness solution that uses your unique DNA to create a nutritional blueprint tailored exclusively for you. We don’t accept brain fog, low energy, or weight gain as normal—we believe these can be reversed with the right fuel. As Dr. Ward learned in her own journey, food is medicine. We help you understand how your body processes it and how you can leverage your diet as a source of vibrant, lasting health.
As we age, the body’s natural ability to repair, renew, and regenerate itself can begin to slow down. Our Peptide Support offers a precision-based way to actively encourage these vital processes. Peptides are small, potent signaling molecules that act as messengers within your body, telling your cells how to function optimally. Dr. Ward's approach leverages your DNA and biological age data to create a custom protocol designed to support everything from cellular recovery and gut health to increased energy and mental clarity. This is a foundational step in our philosophy of reversal, not decline, empowering you to feel strong and resilient from within.
When your body feels drained and your energy is low, it’s a sign that your cells may be running on an empty tank. Our Vitamin Injections offer a direct and powerful way to replenish your system with the essential nutrients it needs to thrive. These are not over-the-counter supplements, but prescription-level therapies that include vital compounds like Glutathione for detoxification, NAD for cellular energy, B12 for a mood and energy boost, and specific Amino Acids for muscle recovery and repair. By delivering these micronutrients directly into your system, we ensure maximum absorption and a rapid return to the high-energy life you deserve.
