Dr. Patrick Owen Speaking Testimonials

"Dr Patrick Owen provides excellent, life-changing health programs to me and the patients I work with. Learning about nutrition is a daily ritual and sometimes a struggle. Thankfully, I can rely on Dr. Owen’s expertise."

Betty

"Dr Patrick Owen seriously knows his stuff! Unlike so many “nutritionists”, he won’t give you a one-size-fits-all program or generic fad diet. Taking all things into consideration, he’ll help you come up with a plan to change your lifestyle and the way you think about food for the better."

Brittany

"Dr Patrick Owen is very good at keeping the class’ interest for the full three hours. He has a unique approach to teaching that I have not seen at McGill yet. He should definitely teach more classes at McGill!"

McGill Student

"Dr Patrick Owen is a very energetic and highly motivated professional. He has great contact with his peers and with other coworkers, is very approachable, and was a pleasure to work with. Patrick was assigned to be a lecturer for a nutrition class on the downtown McGill campus during my time working at the nutrition office, and I know he received excellent feedback through the student reviews that year. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for any position that would require a good contact with the client on top of professional expertise."
