About

Welcome to my website. I hope you find it both inspirational and useful. My name is Dr. Deanne M Roberts, M.D.
Before I went to medical school, my first degree was in nutrition (bachelor’s degree in Human Nutrition, University of British Columbia).
I have always maintained my professional interest in the importance and powerful effects of diet and nutrition in health and illness. A great deal of my time has been devoted to the study of all aspects of food and nutrition.
Over the decades, my practice has always been founded on a “preventive medicine” or “holistic medicine” approach. Over time, we have shifted to the term “Functional Medicine” as a way of expressing an approach and perspective on health, the healing process and medical care.
I live and practice medicine in Vancouver, B.C., Canada.
