DR PATRICK OWEN BIOGRAPHY
Dr Patrick Owen, PhD uses a functional approach to health and nutrition based on evolution and ancestry. He has helped hundreds of people struggling with their weight or trying to manage a metabolic imbalance using strategies that encompass stress, sleep, environment, physical activity and genetic individuality. His expertise stems from his nutritional research in remote places around the world where diet plays an important role in health, community, and emotional well-being.
Dr Patrick Owen’s research has shown that most metabolic diseases stem from a mismatch between the environment and a person’s genetic alignment. His research also suggests that Canada’s current health recommendations are far removed from the ideal way humans should eat and live.
Dr Owen holds a doctorate in Human Nutrition from McGill University, has co-written two books, published more than a dozen peer-reviewed scientific papers, and is the host of AskMen.com’s THRIVE web series. He’s also a certified personal trainer and lifestyle consultant, able to provide his clients with comprehensive strategies to achieve optimal health. Combining his education with his experience as a certified personal trainer, Dr Patrick Owen is able to provide a holistic viewpoint on the human condition. He hopes to educate, consult, and encourage others to live a life that is in line with their own unique bodies.
He delivers modern-day solutions to improve health using traditional, culturally relevant dietary strategies. Dr Patrick Owen was awarded a National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada Postgraduate Scholarship and a Fonds de Recherche du Québec -Nature et Technologies Scholarship to study the bioactive properties of medicinal plants in Tibet, Himalayan India, and Papua New Guinea.
Dr Patrick Owen was the first recipient of the Ecosystem Approach to Human Health Graduate Training Award, launched by the International Development Research Centre of Canada in 2004. He investigated the role of the local food systems of Papua New Guinea in protecting against the development of type 2 diabetes caused by the introduction of Western foods.
Dr Patrick Owen was also the first recipient of the prestigious Richard Evan Schultes Award granted by the Society of Economic Botany. In 2010, he was awarded the Elsevier Reviewer of the Year Award – Pharmacology Division, for a large number of manuscripts he reviewed for various medical and biochemical journals.
Dr Patrick Owen combines his knowledge of nutrition with various modalities of human movement to promote health and wellness for individuals. He currently operates a functional nutrition consultation clinic in Montreal, Canada, and continues to help people achieve optimal health through personalized approaches that encompass circadian rhythm imbalances, stress management, exercise, and even ancestral heritage.
Dr Patrick Owen has ample experience talking in front of large groups from all industries and types of organizations. He provides entertaining anecdotes while explaining complex biochemical pathways. His subject matter is catered to the interests and relevance of the audience and almost always involves animated question periods. Patrick can present in English or French.
