I had tried to find a way to figure out my fatigue, very low energy level, and monthly bad colds in the winter for over 7 years. I had seen different specialists (naturopath, dietician, alternative medicine, etc), and tried different things. It didn’t work. I was desperate to find a solution. My condition was affecting my work, my family, my life.
I came across Dr Cowan from an interview and I booked an appointment right away. Dr. Cowan impressed me with his knowledge, his approach, his treatment methods, and his measuring system. Dr Cowan is treating the root cause. I did the testing that Dr Cowan prescribed. After, three months of treatment I feel much better, 70%-80% better. Dr Cowan takes time to explain the causes, the effects, as well as the ‘why’. He also has a great system to measure progress. Thank you Dr Cowan! I highly recommend Dr. Cowan. If you need a big improvement in your life, if you are looking for the why, Dr. Cowan will help.

I first came to Dr Cowan suffering with terrible mental fatigue or " brain fog", higher levels of anxiety and unable to manage the stress of work and even everyday life... In essence I was officially "fried".

Western medicine, was not able to help me, nor did they even condiser treating the root cause of my systems. Thankfully, Dr Cowan's approach got right to the source of my issues and resolved them from the "inside out".

Today, I'm a fully functioning person again, my mental accuity has returned and is sharper than ever. I am once again able to handle everyday life and am adjusting my lifestyle to prevent stress becoming a problem again.

Highly recommend Dr Cowan and naturopathic treatments in general

My advice: there is no "magic pill" - even healing takes work, time amd effort to complete in full. Invest in a long term solution for your health, you'll be glad you did

10 months ago I visited Dr. Cowan with thyroid issues, digestive issues, hot flashes, night sweats, interrupted sleep and months of repeatedly missing menstrual cycles. I’ve been suffering with these issues in one form or another since I was 40, but now at 47, I feel better than ever. Dr. Cowan impressed me at the first meeting. In the first hour, he asked many questions to figure out what my concerns and goals were. My advice to everyone is take time to understand (and even track) what is bothering you before your initial appointment. Listen to your body and be aware of the symptoms. Along the way, suggestions were made to check my cortisol levels, food sensitivities and hormone levels and while I balked at spending the money on the tests, I never questioned Dr. Cowan’s reasoning. It was a methodical approach and each time we worked on an issue, the result I was hoping for followed. Thyroid was fixed within 3 months. We worked through my digestive issues. I feel healthier and stronger, and I’m having personal bests at the gym. Within two weeks of reviewing my hormone test results and addressing the actual issue, my menstrual cycle has returned (I’m indifferent on being happy about this) and I haven’t had a hot flash or night sweat. I’m sleeping through the night and it’s wonderful. If tests are recommended I do encourage you to get them done. Listen to Dr. Cowan’s suggestions and you will definitely be happy with the end results.

I am a busy husband, father of two and run my own business so time and energy levels are super important to me. I was referred to Dr. Cowan by a client but it took me about a year to finally book an appointment and thank goodness I did! I've been to many other doctors before but no one laid out a complete plan on how to improve my health like Dr. Cowan has. My primary goals have been to increase my day-to-day energy levels, reduce my feelings of stress, improve my physical performance at the gym (I go about 3x a week) and to improve my immune system ... and if possible to help me with some food intolerances. It sounds like an impossible list but Dr. Cowan has been walking me through all of it, step-by-step. My energy levels are way up, my sore throat that I had on and off for a year is gone (I had assumed it was just part of me getting older or something!), I set a personal deadlift record at the gym, my sleep is better and I feel like my immune system is stronger. I wish I had found Dr. Cowan sooner and know that I'll be consulting with him for many years to come! Thank you for everything you're doing Dr. Cowan!

I am a hockey player and I have had the chance to go to 4 Olympic Games. Managing sport and my education have been tough and I always fund myself extremely tired. It always felt like my energy level was way below how I should really be feeling despite the training and demands of being an olympic athlete.
I was introduced to Dr. Callum Cowan last april. What I thought would be a simple meeting with guidance turned out being one of the best things that has ever happened to me.
He really took the time to look at my profil, did some tests and finally came out with results and suggestions in order to improve my condition both on and off the ice.
In only a couple of months, my energy level has increased to about 60 -70%. I have lost weight and I feel great on the ice and in the gym.
He was also able to fixe couple of issues that I had never been able to put the finger on.
I live in Montreal so I do not get the chance to meet with Dr.Cowan in person. However, he has a very strong system going where we have phone appointments every 6 weeks.

I would most definitely encourage anyone to get in touch with Dr.Cowan. It is really hard not to promise results!:)

Thank you Callum!

I've been working rotating shift work in the emergency services field for the past decade and the constant night shifts and chronic stress had started to take their toll. My energy and motivation levels had reached a new low and I was eating junk and drinking on a more than regular basis to take the edge off. I had gone from a fairly lean 230lbs to over 270lbs.

A co-worker referred me to Dr. Cowan after he'd experienced similar issues. Frankly, I wouldn't have ever considered a Naturopathic Doctor prior to the referral. After a number of conversations with my co-worker I decided to at least have a consultation with Dr. Cowan. I got an appointment in about one week and explained my issues, holding nothing back about what I was going through. Dr. Cowan set me up on a program and prescribed me some natural supplements.

In about 2 weeks, I had lost almost 10 pounds. I wasn't working out because me energy hadn't come back, but things were starting to improve. Within a month, I'd lost nearly 20 pounds and my energy and sleep had markedly improved. In total now, I've been on Dr. Cowan's program now for almost 5 months. I've lost almost 45 pounds and my energy levels are back to normal.

The plan involved mostly a change in my diet, and to be honest, the first couple of weeks are a tough adjustment, but once you crest that landmark, the changes are huge. The next phase of my transition back to my old self is to get back into shape. If the guidance I've had so far is any indication of what's to come, I'll be in better shape than I was in my 20's.

I have, and will continue to refer Dr. Cowan to anyone who is looking for a big change.

Suffering from depression and anxiety for 18 years led me to believe that this issue is something I just had to deal with for the rest of my life. That is until I discovered Dr. Cowan. I was hesitant at first to believe that I could actually feel better but within days I started to notice a huge difference. The panic and worry eased, my overall mood had changed, energy levels increased and my sense of well being had changed to a more positive outlook.
Dr. Cowans knowledge and experience gave me a treatment plan that has completely changed my life within such a short period of time. Instead of treating the symptoms he treats the cause. I am happy to say I am med-free and very grateful for his help. I would strongly recommend any others suffering to consider reaching out to him. It has completely changed my life. Many thanks.

“The reality of the Phenom method is that it will surge and optimize your vitality and performance. I have experienced the benefits, and now I embrace the reward of maintaining a higher level of performance. The combination of shift work with prolonged shifts coupled with busy life events began to drastically drain my energy levels to the point where I could significantly feel the decrease in my health, and the sluggish sensation had become my new normal. I was struggling to make it through the nights, I was drained and never recharged during the days that followed . Within a short period of attending the Phenom Clinic I was firing on all cylinders again, and now in my mid 40’s I am completing daily high intensity workouts considerably equivalent to when I was at my peak performance in my 20’s. I am astonished that my rejuvenated vitality, enduring energy levels, and optimal health are once again my new normal”.

I have been dealing with an issue for 10 years, seen all specialists and no one could figure it out until I was recommended to Dr Cowan. Dr. Cowan in a few short months has increased my energy levels and solved my issue. I feel great, I look great and I would highly recommend going to Dr Cowan for overall health including any excess weight, inflammation or water retention.

I experienced very low energy levels and I came across Dr. Cowan ‘s presentation about his approach and program. I went through testing that Dr. Cowan prescribed, and three-months-medical course. Dr. Cowan has made a big difference. I no longer have a lack of energy and "almost falling asleep behind the wheel" issues. Thank you Dr. Cowan!
I highly recommend Dr. Cowan. Especially when you feel off, but no one can explain you why. Dr. Cowan delivers great results!
