SPECIAL GUESTS
 Dr.Melissa Hershberg, MD
Melissa Hershberg, MD, is a Certificant of the College of Family Physicians of Canada who provides comprehensive family practice, preventative health services and weight management counseling at The Toronto Clinic™, a pioneering integrative health care facility.
Dr. Hershberg's interest in science, health and weight-management long predates her affiliation with The Toronto Clinic™. After obtaining her Bachelor of Science with highest honors from McGill University on an academic scholarship, Dr.Hershberg attended the innovative and world-renowned McMaster Medical School. Upon completion of her medical degree, she pursued further studies with the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto while concurrently nurturing her related interest in nutrition, weight loss, and health promotion.
By the completion of her residency, Dr.Hershberg, a former competitive gymnast and fitness champion, discovered an innovative and thought provoking approach to teaching patients how to eat for weight loss and health; an approach specifically designed to help patients lose weight quickly while lowering their blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.
Encouraged by her peers and colleagues, she then transformed the breakthrough approach into her bestselling book: The Hershberg Diet: Discover How The 4th Macro Will Help You Shed Pounds and Beat The Metabolic Syndrome. The hardcover, which was endorsed by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, hit bookshelves across Canada in March 2007, has since been declared a bestseller in Canada and was recently released in the U.S and U.K. to very positive reviews.
Dr. Hershberg’s experiences in competitive athletics coupled with her training in science and medicine have afforded her with a unique and highly respected knowledge base. In addition to practicing medicine, she is a freelance writer having contributed medical consultation and health and wellness articles to many well-known publications across North America such as US Weekly, Chatelaine, Flare Magazine, Natural Health, and Huffington Post.
