Doctor Dora Nutrition & Wellness in Toronto, Ontario

Dora Chan, PharmD, MS, IFMCP, CNS – Pharmacist & Functional Medicine Nutritionist

Welcome! I’m Dora, and I believe in harnessing the healing power of food to improve health and prevent disease.

With over 20 years of experience as a pharmacist in various settings—ranging from retail to hospitals and family health teams—I’ve witnessed firsthand the benefits and limitations of medications. While drugs can be lifesaving, they often come with side effects and may not address the root cause of health issues. Many of my patients ask, “Dora, how can you help me reduce or eliminate these medications?” My answer lies in nutrition and lifestyle changes.

After discovering the Functional Medicine approach, I realized this was the key to helping individuals reduce their dependence on medication. My personal journey with the rare autoimmune disease, neuromyelitis optica, further reinforced my belief in the importance of nutrition and joyful living. This inspired me to pursue advanced studies in Nutrition and Functional Medicine, with a mission to help others achieve their healthiest lives.

If you’ve been newly diagnosed with a chronic condition or advised to start medications, I’m here to offer support. My goal is to utilize the healing power of food and your body’s innate ability to thrive while minimizing medication needs. Together, we will create a realistic, personalized plan to optimize your health through a functional medicine perspective, addressing the underlying causes of your symptoms rather than merely masking them. I can also collaborate with your healthcare provider to adjust medications as necessary.
