I am a practising family physician for over 21 years in Canada. I have incorporated nutritional medicine into my clinical practice particularly after my own significant health benefits were realized after developing an illness and overcoming major challenges. I have been studying this field in detail for the past two years and wish to share some of my knowledge and viewpoints in an effort to assist others wishing to learn more and to improve one's health.
