Hello & Welcome

I’m Dr. James Yoon, a Naturopathic Doctor in Downtown Toronto.  

Using a “root-cause” and functional medicine approach, my aim is to help you better navigate through your health journey by uncovering the underlying factors that may be causing your symptoms.  

I believe that healthcare should be personalized and customized to each individual, which is why I take into consideration various aspects of your life, such as your lifestyle, diet, digestion, exercise routine, sleep schedule, fertility cycle, and much more.

My treatments blend traditional medicine with evidence-based research to offer complementary healthcare solutions. From lifestyle recommendations and clinical nutrition to herbal medicines, nutritional supplements, as well as traditional asian medicine and acupuncture, I employ a range of tools to support your wellbeing.

Whether you’re seeking relief from a specific condition or desiring guidance on how to live a healthier life, I am here to guide and support you on your journey to optimal health and wellness.
