Welcome to Optimal Vitality Hub
Hi, I'm Ish Ortiz. I'm a Certified Nutritional Practitioner, Sports Nutritionist, Certified Metabolic Balance Coach, and Fitness Trainer with over 10 years of experience helping clients achieve their best health. As a member of the Canadian Association of Natural Nutritional Practitioners (CANNP), and The Canadian Association of Holistic Nutrition Professionals (CAHNP), I specialize in Functional Holistic Nutrition, with a focus on hormonal balance, digestive health, and sustainable weight management. My passion lies in empowering individuals to understand their bodies better and achieve their wellness goals through personalized nutrition strategies.
I conduct highly personalized nutritional counselling sessions to maximize the chances of success. During these sessions, I thoroughly examine each person on an individual basis. I then aim to get to the root cause of the given health concern or condition, rather than only dealing with symptoms. My role is not to diagnose, prescribe or treat. Instead, it’s to understand your whole persona, based on your history, environment, and habits, and educate you on how your health issues arose, and how you can improve your health.
In order to give you nutrition recommendations, I look at your nutrient deficiencies, system imbalances, and lifestyle factors. Once you understand the context, you can assuredly move in the direction of root cause resolution, instead of chasing symptoms only.
Join me on this incredible health journey and let's unlock your full potential together. Explore the website to learn more about my services, testimonials, and the transformative power of holistic nutrition.
I'm excited to work with you, guiding and supporting you every step of the way. Let's embrace a life of Optimal Vitality!

What Clients Are Saying
“ started this program just looking for a way to change my habits. My main goal was not to lose weight. There was something missing in my daily routines because there were instances when I felt a lack of energy and overall imbalances in my body. In my opinion, the program leads you to change your lifestyle consciously providing an understanding of how everything is connected, from what you eat, how you perform your daily activities, and how you really feel and the acknowledgement of all processes as a whole”

Ish is amazing person.
I took his program and I learned a lot from him.
He helped me not just as nutritioning coach but also as life coach.
His knowledge, skill and personality are great so you wouldn't regret taking his program.
I am so grateful Ish helped get my health back on track. I had developed some bad eating habits resulting in weight gain. Ish worked with me to help me understand my triggers and how to deal with these more effectively. With his guidance, I was able to develop much healthier eating habits by being aware of what and how much I was eating. Our weekly check-ins kept me mentally on track, as it wasn't always easy. All of a sudden the pounds started to come off - easily! And it didn't feel hard. I am so grateful for Ish's immense knowledge of nutrition and physical exercise. I couldn't have done this by myself.

I’ve been working with Ish for the last few months and he is by far the most educated, genuine, and kind naturopath/life coach. He has immensely helped me form a better relationship with food, nutrition, as well as my mental health. Ish has introduced me to incredible practices that I will continue to incorporate into my daily life forever. I am beyond grateful for the knowledge Ish has taught me and I recommend anyone struggling with their body to reach out to him!!
I started working with Ish for personal training in July 2023. Between then and January 2024, we worked together both in person and through his online training programs. I can't say enough good things! Ish has incredible knowledge, passion and energy and that, together with his welcoming demeanor (just look at that smile!), makes him an absolute pleasure to work with. I was very new to exercise, after decades of inactivity. Just walking into a gym was intimidating! Ish took the time to really listen to me and after a short workout was very quickly able to assess my abilities, and areas that really needed improvement (pretty much everything!). Ish displayed incredible patience and support and balanced that with just the right amount of pushing me. With Ish's guidance, I have made so much progess and I have gained the confidence to continue on my journey to health and wellness! I am beyond grateful.
I highly recommend Ish to anyone looking for an amazing trainer! You won't be disappointed!
Ish and I worked together for 4 months and during that short time, I saw significant improvements in my health. I am so grateful for everything he taught me about my body, especially about how stress was manifesting as digestion issues. He gave me tools on how I can manage these symptoms - as well as address their root cause - and I can now enjoy a meal without immediate pain afterward. It was fascinating to learn from his vast knowledge and to better understand how I could help myself now and in the future.
When I met Ish, I was dealing with all sorts of digestion problems, extreme stress, and overall unwell and unhealthy feelings. After every meal, regardless of how big the meal was, I would feel extreme bloating. I was 3 months away from my wedding and had the goal of losing 20lbs. I learned so much about how to treat the signals my body was sending me. Not only did Ish teach me a ton, he helped me overcome my constant bloating, lower my stress levels without changing anything about my job, and allowed me to generally feel better day-to-day. Ish is the real deal and I'm so glad I can continue this journey of learning about my body and what works well for me.
