John Yim
I graduated from Bastyr College in Seattle, WA in 1994. After completing the NPLEX board exams I returned to my home town, Nanaimo, and started a solo practice. Hard to believe that I am entering my 32nd year of practice. The bulk of my practice focuses on gut health, immunity and autoimmunity issues, cardiovascular health, hormonal conditions, and metabolic syndromes. Nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle recommendations, detox protocols, and injections and IV’s are my main tools.
I am married with 2 children and 3 grandchildren.
At the end of March /26 I will semi-retire, seeing patients 2 days per week.
