Rikin Patel MD FRCPC FAAP
Speciality: Pediatrician
I'm a consultant pediatrician and Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Toronto. I completed my pediatric residency at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Prior to medical school I completed a Masters in Health Policy Planning and Finance from the London School of Economics and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Currently I work for the Scarborough Health Network and a founding member of Markham Kids Clinic. I have completed the Plant Based Certificate program through the T Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies at Cornell University. I recently spoke as a panel member at the KW Veg Fest focusing on plant based nutrition for a pediatric population (link found below). I'm passionate about promoting a culture of wellness and resilience within physician and trainee communities through medical improv, meditation and plant-based nutrition. My plant based journey started as a child from my mom, a life long vegetarian who impressed upon me the principles of plant based eating. It wasn't until sixteen years ago though I wholeheartedly adopted a plant-based diet to improve my meditation practice and live an eco-friendly lifestyle. After years of trial, error and refinement I have been reaping the many physical, mental and spiritual benefits of this lifestyle transformation. As a result, I have developed an approach that I have been sharing with children and families to embody a family centred approach. In the spirit of prevention as an approach for children, I advocate to help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and fewer asthma flares all through a plant based diet. Having worked with numerous families I am passionate and confident in giving children and their families the best fuel for their wellbeing to maximize their potential.

Specialty: Family Medicine, Fellowship in Medical CBT, Lifestyle Medicine
Other qualifications: Plant based nutrition certificate, eCornell Univ.
After practicing Family Medicine for 20+ years, I have realized the root cause of diseases and corrected myself and experimented with myself. When I got excellent results by switching diet mostly plant based and cutting down processed and ultra-processed food, my health improved by 100% (Health also has added benefits from Yoga and meditation). No medications and its side effects. Medications have their requirements but mostly in emergency situations or infections. Rest of the non-communicable disease burden is our own making which we can correct very efficiently with lifestyle changes.

Debbie Fong, RD
Specialty: Weight management. Prevention and management of chronic lifestyle diseases. Digestive health.
I am a clinically trained registered dietitian in Ontario, Canada. I speak English and Cantonese. I am currently a consulting dietitian to a couple of medical offices. I also manage my private practice, offering in-person, home and online consultations to patients with weight issues (without imposing the burden of calorie-counting), digestive problems and various chronic diseases (e.g. diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol).
Being a vegan for 10 years, I am passionate about sharing the healing benefits of whole-food plant-based eating. It can add years to life and life to years. It is also friendly to our wallet, animals and the planet.
As a strong believer in giving back, I volunteer as a dietitian for several charitable organizations, such as Toronto Vegetarian Association and Toronto Vegetarian Food Bank. I have also been invited by the Canadian Liver Foundation, University Health Network (UHN) and a number of church organizations to make live and webinar presentations on healthy eating and nutritional tips for various population segments, such as patients with liver disease and adults over age 55.
Plant-based eating does not need to be an all-or-nothing dietary regimen. Whether you are curious about plant-based diets, or eating on a budget, or suffering from chronic diseases, I can help. Through personalized nutrition counseling or group discussions, you will feel empowered and motivated to make behavioral changes for your health goals. Plant-based eating is more pleasurable, healthful and affordable than you think!

Hi, I’m Dr. Noah! Making important changes in my own life, like switching to a predominantly plant-based diet, finding more enjoyable ways to exercise and move more regularly, optimizing my supplement intake and working regularly on mindset approaches has made a significant change in my mental health, my energy and overall ability to do the things I love.

I believe that wellness doesn’t have to be hard and I strive to provide simple tools that lead to long lasting effects. At the forefront of this I always focus on helping my patients more easily transition into a more nutritious, less inflammatory diet that often includes a trend toward more whole, plant based foods. That being said, I am never dogmatic in my approach, always meeting my patients where they are and supporting them in their own unique journey.

Marianne Trevorrow, MA ND
Marianne Trevorrow is a naturopathic doctor at Femade, a multidisciplinary clinic in Ottawa that focuses on female-identified patients with chronic and 'invisible' pain syndromes. She has supported whole food/plant-based nutrition in her practice since her training as an ND clinician and clinical researcher at Bastyr University in Seattle in the early 2000s, where she graduated with her ND degree in 2006. Although she was trained in the health-promoting effects of the Mediterranean diet as the more 'realistic' option for patients at that time, she made the 'next logical step' to becoming plant-based herself in 2010 and has been an advocate for WFPB diets within the naturopathic profession in Canada since then.
In addition to her private practice, Dr. Trevorrow currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of the Canadian ND Association journal, CANDJ, which has recently made the transition to a digital, online platform, and where she is guiding their evolution to a more science-based, integrative approach to discussion of naturopathic therapeutics. Along those lines, she sees the publication of more work on the WFPB approach into CANDJ (including studies on plant-based therapeutic diets such as FODMAP and the Portfolio diet) as a logical part of their progression towards a stronger integration of personal and planetary health that is at the core of the naturopathic approach to care.
Her practice offers in-person and virtual visits, and Direct Billing is available for many Extended Health Plans.Do you offer online services?: Yes

Specialty: Registered Holistic Nutritionist (inflammation, gut issues, blood sugar balance, blood pressure balance, meal planning)
Sandra Milne is a proud graduate with merit of the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. She is a French-Canadian based out of Hamilton, Ontario and a nature lover in all its forms. Gardening, plant-based cooking, hiking and cuddles with her cat while reading about nutrition are some of her favorite activities. She is also a flight attendant who used to suffer from digestive issues. Bloating and feeling heavy was a daily struggle. She started following a vegetarian diet in 2016 and shifted towards veganism over the next year. In her experience, it felt like truly opening her eyes and her heart for the first time. Not only her physical health improved tremendously; she also acquired peace of mind because she was living by her values. At last, she was taking action against the unnecessary harm of animals and climate change. The connection between what she put in her body and how she felt was made. It feels so good that ever since, she has been wanting to share the abundance and multiple benefits of plant-based eating with others and guiding others in making that body-mind connection.

Daina Patel DC, CHIROPRACTOR
Specialty: Chronic Back Pain; Inflammation
Virtual-only services are available for anyone anywhere in Ontario. Helping you shift away from chronic back issues and into moving through your day with ease and confidence.
I use a holistic approach to getting rid of or managing chronic back pain. Chronic conditions require a multi-modal approach involving movement, lifestyle, and whole foods plant-based nutrition. My own journey dealing with chronic upper back pain led me down the path to learning what really works and I now use my own unique approach to help my patients reach their goals, whether that is managing the pain or aiming towards more pain-free days.
I don't use any temporary relief solutions such as chiropractic adjustments or tools like heat or TENS machines because they don't get to the root of what's causing your pain. Once we address the root cause, you will start to feel better and move with more ease and confidence through your day.

Linda Louise Warman, MSW RSW
Specialty: holistic approaches ~ marital therapy, wellness coaching. public speaking coaching
Allow me to tell you about my plant-based journey:
I initially changed to a plant-based diet out of self-interest: I sought to feel better. The change was successful. And then I realized after about 5 years of leaving off the eating of animals that my consciousness had changed along with my health. Eating only plants had caused me to care about animals. As I heard in a film a number of years ago: "There really is no polite way to take the life of a fellow creature."
So years later, when I returned to school to prepare for a career as a psychotherapist, my consciousness was holistic. And thus the professional practice I developed became so as well. I am passionate about supporting my patients in their pursuit of joy. And joy is more easily had when one feels well -- on all levels. As a mental health professional, I am clear about my conviction that sound mental health depends on a strong foundation of physical health.
In addition I am particularly prepared to midwife my patients from suffering to making meaning of that suffering and ultimately arriving in some cases at a spiritual awakening.
My second passion is relational mindfulness. I glory in supporting couples as they consciously heal the ruptures in their connection. I am a certified Imago Therapist and also a student of Relational Life Therapy -- the brainchild of Terry Real whose teachings are feminist at their core.
