Bruce Bonner MASc., RNCP, RHN

Founder | Registered Holistic Nutritionist | Digestive, Immune & Sports Nutrition Specialist

Bruce Bonner has spent the past 27 years helping people take their health into their own hands—one personalized plan, one powerful breakthrough, one better day at a time!

A Registered Nutritional Consulting Practitioner, Certified Live Blood Cell Microscopist and lifelong student of alternative medicine, Bruce is known for blending the best of modern science with natural, time-tested approaches to healing. His clinical practice focuses on gut and digestive health, food sensitivities, immune function, sports nutrition, adrenal fatigue, sleep and stress issues, and sustainable weight management.

Widely regarded as one of Ottawa’s most trusted and sought-after nutrition health experts, Bruce has built his reputation on results, and a genuine passion for helping people feel better in their bodies.

After his own long-running battle with digestive issues (including IBS), Bruce dove deep into nutritional science, natural therapies and functional diagnostics to heal himself. That personal journey now fuels his work with clients who are navigating similar challenges, often after years of frustration and living with health mysteries that conventional medicine couldn’t crack.

“Taking responsibility for my own health has been the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. Helping others do the same is my life’s work.” – Bruce Bonner

At Living Science Wellness Centre, Bruce combines clinical insight with advanced, real-time assessment tools like Live Blood Cell Microscopy, Electro Interstitial Scanning (EIS), OligoScan Heavy Metal and Intracellular Testing and Biofeedback.

His work with Live Blood Cell Analysis is especially powerful in cases involving digestive disorders, immune system imbalances, chronic fatigue, inflammation and discomfort — helping clients see patterns that traditional lab work may miss.

Bruce holds a Master’s degree in Nutrition from the Edison Institute of Nutrition and a Sociology degree from the University of Prince Edward Island. He’s also a Certified Biofeedback Technician, Certified Live Blood Cell Microscopist, NLP Master Practitioner and
Level 1 Metabolic Typing Advisor.

He’s been a long-standing member with the International Organization of Nutritional Consultants, and the Canadian Association of Natural Nutritional Practitioners, a reflection of his dedication to professional excellence and always staying on the cutting edge of what really works.

Like a mad scientist (of the natural health kind!), Bruce is known for his clinical curiosity, down-to-earth style and uncanny ability to make complex health topics simple to understand, completely doable and even inspiring.

A former professional hockey player (he played five seasons in Germany, where his teammates affectionately dubbed him “The Ice Hockey Professor”), Bruce understands what it takes to
fuel both the body and the mind for peak performance. Today, he’s especially passionate about helping athletes do just that — along with supporting their injury recovery and long-term wellness. Bruce works with many high performance amateur and professional athletes.

Outside the clinic, Bruce is a popular speaker and educator who’s delivered hundreds of seminars and workshops to sports teams, business groups and wellness communities. Always curious, he
never stops learning… and never stops walking his talk.

He leads an active, healthy-eating lifestyle, and loves strolling in nature with his wife Susan and their high-energy Pointer pup, Silver. He still occasionally laces up the skates when not immersed in his two, true-favourite Happy Places: Playing the guitar and nerding out over the latest and greatest health and nutrition science.

With Bruce’s assistance, I dropped 75 lbs
“With Bruce’s assistance, I dropped 75 lbs and have successfully maintained it for the last 15 months. My success is due to establishing a change in food selections and a specific exercise plan which were easy to implement. The plans were established by Bruce once he recognized the right combination for my weight lose and maintenance.”

-Francesca B

Thank you for your help, support and kindness
“Good afternoon Bruce, Thank you again so very much for your help, your support and your kindness.
My two appointments with you were a real gift!
Have a beautiful day, ”

-Helene P

I am already feeling less tired and stronger
“I have been using the recovery protein powder and have been following the nutrition plan for about a month now and I am already feeling a lot less tired, stronger and just more alert.”

– Samantha B

In just 6 weeks I have already lost 10 pounds (of my 15-pound weight loss goal)
” I consulted with Bruce, who is very knowledgeable in many areas of nutritional counseling and also supportive, about shedding a few unwanted pounds and increasing my energy levels for my busy work schedule.

By following the nutritional guidelines Bruce customized with me to only included foods that I would actually eat and eating the proper balance of the right foods, I have increased my energy during the day which has helped me to sleep more restfully through the night. Not to mention I am eating more food than ever and am continuing to boost my metabolism, lose the unwanted fat, and lower my BMI. ”

– Mel S

Your presentation was amazing
Your presentation was amazing; it was exactly what the athletes needed, it opened a lot of eyes and I think most of the athletes were completely shocked at what they need to be putting in their body in order to optimize performance, as well as identifying the deficits in their own nutrition. It was very specific and tailored to the athletes which was great – the thing that gave you the most credibility with the athletes is the examples you used, you didn’t just spit them facts – you explained WHY it is important and HOW it will help them train and compete more effectively.

It was short, concise, and you really hit home with a lot of the points you made – the athletes really took to what you had to say, you really commanded their attention and got them interested in the topic. At the meet over the weekend, the athletes who have started to eat more protein and take to your guidelines have already began to notice a difference.

-Alex D Swim Coach

“Hey Bruce, you cannot believe the amount of people that have complimented me as to how good I look since starting your diet!!!”
– Greg S

I will keep following my nutrition program
“The first time I visited Bruce Bonner and Living Science was about a year and a half ago, I was 5′ 7″, and weighed 135lbs. After following his advice, taking daily supplements after workouts and on ice sessions, I am now 5′ 10” and have gained 25 lbs of muscle! I will keep following my nutrition program throughout the summer and I look forward to being even bigger and stronger when I go away to prep school next season.

Bruce’s 110% Hockey Philosophy

WHY we do it this way: a player needs to know what he/she specifically needs for his/her body type, activity level, body composition goals. Furthermore, players may have food intolerances/allergies, special health conditions like asthma, or even need to address constantly being sick or injured, which have a significant relationship to diet/lifestyle. Using technology we can get a great idea what areas in the body need to be supported the most and create a custom nutrition program.
