DR. W. SHANE WILLIAMS

B.Sc (Pharmacy), MD, FRCP, Cardiology & Internal Medicine

Born and raised in Newfoundland, Dr. W. Shane Williams attended Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) in St. John’s where he obtained his Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy [BSc (Pharm)] being selected as class valedictorian in 1995. He then completed his 4 year Doctor of Medicine (MD) and 3 year post-graduate fellowship program in Internal Medicine at Memorial. He went on complete a 3 year Cardiology Subspecialty Fellowship at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario and in 2008 moved to Muskoka, Ontario to open his private practice in Cardiology and Internal Medicine.

In 2010, he stumbled across a copy of the book ‘The China Study’ written by Dr. T. Colin and Tom Campbell and was surprised with the amount of nutritional research that existed to support a whole foods plant-based diet -- to not only prevent but also stabilize, improve and sometimes even reverse many chronic conditions including elevated blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, coronary heart disease and diabetes.

He began to learn more about the science showing the power of nutrition on health. Since 2010, after changing his diet and enjoying many health benefits, he’s been incorporating nutritional education and training into the care of his clinic patients.

Over the years, he’s had the tremendous good fortune to meet, spend time with and learn from a number of world leaders in plant-based nutrition including Drs. T. Colin Campbell and Thomas Campbell, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn and Dr. John McDougall.

He’s lectured at plant-based conferences, hosted many week long immersion programs locally as well as a 10 day ‘Plant-based Immersion Summit’ in the Caribbean with Drs. Campbell and Esselstyn along with other leaders in the field. He considers himself very lucky to have witnessed (and continues to witness) so many of his patients often completely turn their health around once they learn and implement the scientifically proven, optimal nutritional approach for humans – a whole foods, plant-based diet.

He’s passionate about bringing this information to as many people as possible so they too can become empowered to both safeguard and improve their health.
