I am a naturopathic doctor with a focus in functional neurology using low level laser therapy, manual therapy, clinical nutrition with lab work assessment.  

I became a naturopathic doctor because I really wanted to understand functional medicine and functional neurology and apply it to neurodegeneration, chronic pain, mental health and human performance optimization. 

After finishing at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, I attended the Carrick Institute of Clinical Neuroscience and successfully screened for the Fellowship of the International Board of Functional Neurology (FIBFN). The goal was to really understand neurology to help individuals with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease through complementary and integrative treatments and to support patients as a team with other healthcare clinicians. 

I was introduced to the neurology field during my time at the Lawson Health Research Institute in London, Ontario developing a non-invasive imaging approach in quantifying blood flow for pediatric anoxic brain injury with near-infrared spectroscopy. From here I was introduced to the adapting diagnostic methodology and developing treatment approaches in persistent post-concussion syndrome within the US military and veteran community. Helping individuals with TBI became the driving force in learning neurology to give everyone the best care possible. It became “the no-fail mission”. 

I am the founder and CEO of Marano Publishing, a medical learning company, training tens of thousands of physicians and students worldwide. 

I have a passion for serving others that comes from a Christ-centered perspective, and a steadfast determination to make a difference in finding an answer to the most difficult health problems.
