Meet another one of our authorized Nutrigenomix providers!
Dr. Zaakir Jiwa (BScKin, MD, CCFP) completed his Bachelor’s of Kinesiology at McGill University in Montreal. He is a graduate of the University of British Columbia’s Medical School and University of Toronto’s Family Medicine Residency Program at St. Michael’s Hospital.
Over the course of his training, he has cared for a variety of patients, specifically those in underserviced areas. From his time at various Sports Medicine Clinics, Dr. Jiwa has a wide range of experience in preventative health, motivational interviewing, and injectable injury related treatments.
Dr. Jiwa has a passion for anti-aging medicine and is a huge advocate for collaborative care.
We asked Dr. Jiwa why he chose to use Nutrigenomix in his practice , and here is what he had to say:
“We integrated Nutrigenomix into our practice because there is an increasing demand from patients to learn and know more about their health and wellbeing. More and more, patients are interested in learning about how their genetics can affect the way they absorb various vitamins and minerals and whether they are predisposed to certain injuries or conditions.
Nutrigenomix has changed our practice in many ways. Several patients have either started or come off supplements and noticed changes in mood, energy, and sleep. It has also been quite useful for patients to have a guide which they can follow to keep them on track with respect to their dietary changes and supplements.”
