A health plan built
inside your life.

Online · Three-month block · $1,800 CAD + HST · By application
Who this is for
You are motivated.
That was never the problem.
You know that looking after your health helps you show up at work, be present with your family and enjoy the things you care about. But those responsibilities get your time first. Your health gets what is left, until you have less energy for everything else.
You probably know plenty about training and nutrition already. The difficulty is deciding what deserves your attention, how much is realistic, and how to make it part of a normal week.
You would not run a business with five contractors who never speak and no one in charge. Most people run their health exactly that way.
What you get
One plan, one owner, one place it lives.
One person deciding what leads.
Ben chooses what gets your attention this month and what waits. When something needs a clinician, a counsellor or bloodwork, he tells you, and where the result fits in the plan. You book that separately.
Two 30-minute calls a month.
What you managed, what changed, what to adjust. Every call is with Ben.
Direct contact between calls.
Brief questions and updates go to Ben. Deeper planning waits for your call.
Coaching is education, planning, programming and support. Diagnosis, treatment and counselling are separate services, booked when the plan calls for them.
Your investment
$1,800 CAD per three-month block + HST
$600 a month. Pay for the block in full or in three monthly payments. Blocks renew after a review call at the end of each one.

Want your numbers in the plan?
Optional bloodwork through NiaHealth, reviewed by their nurse practitioners, gives Ben sixty biomarkers to plan against. It is not required to start, and findings are discussed inside your regular calls. Testing is purchased separately. See Lab Testing

Clinical experience · Sport · Business ownership
Work directly with Ben.
Dr. Ben Holtom is a chiropractor, entrepreneur and the Founder and Clinical Director of iON Health + Performance. His clinical training shapes how he reads your history, your limitations and the advice you have already been given. Competitive hockey, two hip surgeries, a knee surgery and more than a decade of chronic pain taught him what recovery costs in time; building and running two clinics taught him what competing demands do to a plan. Your calls, messages and planning decisions are with him.
Coaching provides education and practical support, separately from chiropractic services. It does not include diagnosis or treatment and is billed privately, not through extended health benefits.

Start with the service you need.

Coaching questions
I already see someone at iON. How does this fit?
They stay. Coaching gives the whole plan an owner; with your consent, Ben and your practitioner work from the same picture. Your appointments continue as they are.
Is this the same as seeing Ben at the clinic?
No. Coaching is online and there is no hands-on care. It is education, programming and support, informed by clinical judgement. Treatment is booked separately as a clinical appointment with Ben or another iON practitioner.
Do I need to be near Guelph or Orangeville?
No. Coaching is delivered online and is available internationally. Share your time zone when applying so we can arrange suitable call times.
How is this different from coaching with Dane?
Dane provides focused online training, nutrition coaching or both. Ben's coaching considers how training, nutrition, recovery, health history, habits and life responsibilities fit together, and builds and adjusts that broader plan with you.
What does the mindset part mean?
Priorities, routines, expectations and how you respond to setbacks. It is not psychotherapy or mental-health treatment. Where appropriate, Ben can recommend counselling with Jenna McGonegal at iON, available virtually in Ontario and Nova Scotia.
Why a three-month block?
One priority takes about three months to choose, make easy and review. Coaching runs in blocks for that reason. At the end of each block you and Ben review what held and decide whether to run another.
How does messaging work?
Brief questions and updates between calls. It is not a live-chat service, and there is no fixed response-time commitment.
Is coaching covered by extended health benefits?
Coaching is a privately paid service, separate from clinical care, and is not billed as chiropractic treatment. Clinical appointments at iON may be eligible under your plan as usual.
How do I start?
Apply. Coaching with Ben is by application for now, so the roster stays small. Share your goals, what is in the way and what you want the next three months to look like. Ben reads every application and will tell you whether coaching is the right fit.
