Dr. Jonn Matsen became interested in natural healing after improving his own health in his 20s. He became a Chartered Herbalist in 1977. Dr. Matsen completed his premedical university studies in British Columbia (BC), Canada , before attending Naturopathic medical school in the US . In 1983, he graduated from Bastyr University in Seattle , WA , and began his practice at the Northshore Naturopathic Clinic in North Vancouver , BC . "Word of mouth" and his books bring patients from all over the world.
In over 25 years of successful clinical practice, Dr. Matsen has seen more than 40,000 patients.
His philosophy is that the body is meant to be healthy and has an innate ability to heal itself. Instead of simply treating or suppressing a patient’s symptoms, Dr. Matsen focuses on the cause of illness. His unique Eating Alive Program has led to the reversal of many illnesses considered to be incurable by the medical community.
Dr. Matsen is licensed by the College of Naturopathic Physicians of B.C. and is a member of the provincial (BCNA) and national (CAND) naturopathic associations. He lectures regularly and has done numerous radio interviews throughout Canada and the US. He is also an adjunct clinical professor at Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine and preceptor to naturopathic students of Bastyr University, the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, and Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine.
Dr. Matsen is the author of three books and also has an introductory DVD about his program. (Click on the Books page for more information on his popular books.) His first book, Eating Alive, has sold over 250,000 copies.
In his spare time, Dr. Matsen does volunteer work for The Squamish Streamkeepers, a group that's involved in improving fish habitats.
