Transforming Lives with Lifestyle-as-Medicine Wellness Solutions
Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business?
Tanya Fasnacht Jolliffe: Decades of experience gave me deep insight into the traditional, diet-focused approach to disease and weight management. I saw how this often led to chronic dieting and failed to create long-term health transformation.
This understanding—coupled with my knowledge of how lifestyle factors drive lasting behavior change—inspired me to shift my focus. I founded L I T Wellness Solutions to deliver non-diet nutrition therapy, centered around lifestyle-as-medicine solutions that truly support sustainable well-being.
Great Companies: What are the various services provided by L I T Wellness Solutions?
Tanya Fasnacht Jolliffe: We offer both corporate wellness consulting and individual coaching, with services including:
Corporate wellness programs focused on transforming workplace culture (especially in the transportation sector) by creating values-driven, safe, and productive environments that reduce healthcare costs.
One-on-one coaching (private pay or insurance-based) tailored to:
Managing medical conditions and weight through non-diet approaches
Disordered eating recovery with a holistic focus
Athlete nutrition coaching to improve fueling strategies and performance
Great Companies: What makes L I T Wellness Solutions different from hundreds of other similar service providers?
Tanya Fasnacht Jolliffe: L I T Wellness Solutions is unique because we take a holistic, personalized, and evidence-based approach to well-being. We emphasize sustainable behavior change and go far beyond just diet or exercise.
We integrate the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions of health using our "lifestyle as medicine" model. Our non-diet, attuned eating strategies, including mindful eating and body awareness, are especially uncommon in traditional wellness settings, making our methodology truly transformative.
Great Companies: What were the struggles and challenges you faced and how did you overcome them?
Tanya Fasnacht Jolliffe: L I T Wellness Solutions launched in late 2019, around the same time I published my book, The Mindful Me Journey: A 40-Day Guided Journey Toward a Healthier Relationship With Food and Exercise. I began promoting it through speaking engagements and coaching, but everything paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Instead of stepping back, I used the time to upskill—completing certification as an Integrative Mental Health Professional. This not only enhanced my qualifications but allowed me to restart with greater momentum when the world reopened.
Great Companies: How do you plan to grow in the future? What does 5 years down the line look like for L I T Wellness Solutions?
Tanya Fasnacht Jolliffe: In the next five years, we aim to:
Become a preferred wellness partner for mid-sized and large corporations
Expand national visibility and credibility through strategic partnerships
Leverage data-driven results to showcase the effectiveness of our approach
Promote The Mindful Me Journey and expand our coaching influence and reach
Great Companies: If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be?
Tanya Fasnacht Jolliffe: Understand that wellness is more than just food or fitness. True transformation requires addressing the whole person—mental, emotional, and lifestyle dimensions included.
Clarify your "why", define who you want to help, understand what makes your approach unique, and get the training necessary to back it up. Doing this early on will give you credibility and set a strong foundation as you grow your brand.
