Meet Our Team
DAVID SLOAN, M.H., PhD., DNM, NNCP, RNT, DHS.
Clinic Director - Sloan Natural Health Center
David W. Sloan is happily married to his wife Erika and has been blessed with three healthy and active sons and three beautiful grandchildren. He is thankful for his Christian faith, which continues to give him positive strength, hope and guidance in his personal and professional life.
For many years now, David has been a firm believer in natural healing. Like many of the patients he sees, he once suffered from many diverse health challenges and as a last resort, sought professional help from natural practitioners who could guide him in implementing diet, nutrition, herbal and other natural therapies. After detailed and extensive examinations, it was determined that David’s health had deteriorated so much that he was only given a few years to live. However, by the graciousness of God and radical changes to his diet and lifestyle along with natural therapies, David gratefully found the answers to the various problems that had been afflicting him. Now, over 40 years later, David is very thankful to be alive and enjoys much more vitality and vigour than he did in his 20’s!
Thanking the Great Physician for leading him to know and benefit from what he considers to be the true way of healing, David has considered it a great privilege and honor to be able to share this precious knowledge with his patients. It has truly been gratifying to see many people undergo a remarkable and unbelievable transformation from poor health to vibrant wellbeing. After over 40 years in practise, David has earned the reputation of being one of the best natural healers in North America.
As a natural medicine specialist, David believes that providing the keys to vibrant health begins with the holistic approach. To obtain total health, the total person must be considered. This means not only the physical but the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our makeup. In this way, the underlying causes of poor health can be determined and a program designed to restore buoyant and vibrant health. By teaching his patients correct nutrition and living habits as well as recommending those steps necessary to cleanse the body and rebuild strength and vitality, it soon becomes apparent to the patient that they must learn to be responsible for their own health. Thus, disease prevention and preventative medicine can truly become a reality.
The areas that David specializes in are natural medicine which employs the therapeutic use of Herbs, Diet and Clinical Nutrition, Homeopathic therapy, Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy(BHRT), Laser Therapy and Weight Loss to aid the body in returning to optimal vibrant health and function. As a specialist in natural medicine, David’s work has led him to assisting patients with a wide variety of health concerns including hormonal imbalances, overweight, pain and physical degeneration, fatigue and low energy, anxiety, depression, and accelerated aging. Often as these areas are corrected, most other concerns just ‘disappear’.
When David began his practise some years ago (unlike today where this field is in a period of exciting growth), it was necessary for him to be pro-active in educating the public by providing lectures, seminars, keynote addresses and workshops. Over the years he has given countless speeches and presentations all over Ontario and Canada in order to break down the walls of ignorance and misunderstanding in his profession as well as provide valuable information on a wide variety of topics in natural healing.
These have been very well-received and as a result of this, David has had the added privilege of writing articles for magazines, newsletters, as well as interviews on radio and TV. He has appeared on Daytime Durham on Rogers Cable, the Lessons for Living and It Is Written TV shows broadcast over the CTV network. His current seminar series on all the elements required to live a healthy, vibrant and successful life is entitled ‘Be Transformed! …Transform Your Health, Transform Your Life!’ and is available in PDF format on this website. David has now completed the full manuscript and expects that soon, his first complete book “Transform Your Health! Transform Your Life!” will be published. In 2019, he was pleased to author a chapter in a book published and released that year entitled, “Saved By Nutrition” where he describes his early health challenges. The chapter is entitled, “You probably don’t have more than two years to live!” Thus began his challenging journey to beat that diagnosis and to go on by God’s mercy to help tens of thousands over his career find vibrant and optimal health and healing.
In the early days as David’s practise was starting, he actually formulated and made his own herbal preparations for his patients! These were made up in the form of tinctures, extracts, and he even had a little manual encapsulation device for putting his formulas in capsules. This is largely unheard of today with younger practitioners as there are now so many excellent professional suppliers. In David’s case, as his practise got busier, he simply could not make up his own medicines any longer. However with the help of a friend who had a small manufacturing facility David developed some herbal and nutritional products for his practise which still have a valid place in his dispensary. But David’s dream was to provide unique, effective and transformational professional quality natural products that he would design to benefit millions of people worldwide!
