Dr. Aparna Taylor has a love of nature and medicine and strives to help patients find a healthy balance on this journey. Growing up in Thunder Bay, Ontario, she received her biology degree from Lakehead University then took some time to volunteer in hospitals in India, travel, and became a yoga teacher. After this gap year, she moved to Western Canada where she completed her Masters in muscle physiology and aging at the University of Calgary. While pursuing her PhD in molecular neuroscience, she re-awakened her passion for patient-centered medicine and moved to Toronto to study at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) and become a naturopathic doctor. One of her first patients in Thunder Bay inspired her to learn more about Lyme disease. She shares her passion for learning, medicine, and community by teaching at seminars, conferences and participating in research when she isn’t chasing and playing with her two young children and husband, all the while trying not to take herself too seriously.
