Meet Megan
Megan Sandri, ND
Naturopathic Doctor | Integrative Oncology & Metabolic Health
I believe healthcare should be both evidence-informed and deeply individualized. My goal is to help you understand your health, feel supported in your care, and develop practical strategies that fit your life.
My Approach to Care
My interest in healthcare began with a curiosity about the many factors that shape our health—from nutrition and physical activity to stress, sleep, and the healthcare systems we navigate.
As a naturopathic doctor, I was drawn to an approach that allows me to look at the whole person while also considering the evidence behind different interventions.
Over time, my clinical focus became increasingly centred on cancer care. I was particularly drawn to the opportunity to support people through some of the most challenging periods of their lives while helping them navigate the many questions that arise around nutrition, lifestyle, symptoms, and long-term health.
This led me to complete a two-year residency in integrative oncology at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine's Integrative Cancer Clinic, where I developed experience supporting patients throughout cancer treatment and survivorship.

What You Can Expect From Me
Evidence-Informed
I use the best available evidence alongside clinical experience and your individual circumstances. When evidence is limited or uncertain, I'll tell you.
Individualized
There isn't one diet, supplement, or lifestyle plan that works for everyone. Your recommendations should reflect your health history, goals, preferences, and circumstances.
Collaborative
Your care should work alongside the healthcare professionals already involved in your treatment. I value communication and collaboration across your healthcare team.
Practical
The best plan is one you can actually follow. We focus on realistic changes that can fit into your life rather than striving for perfection.
Integrative Care Means Working Together
I see naturopathic medicine as complementary to, rather than a replacement for, conventional medical care.
When you're navigating cancer, there can be an overwhelming amount of information—and sometimes conflicting advice. My role is to help you make sense of the evidence, identify where integrative approaches may be helpful, and ensure recommendations are considered in the context of your diagnosis, medications, and cancer treatment.
When appropriate and with your permission, I aim to collaborate with the other members of your healthcare team.
Beyond Cancer Care
My clinical interests also include metabolic and cardiometabolic health. I work with patients on areas such as nutrition, blood sugar regulation, weight and body composition, cardiovascular health, and sustainable lifestyle change.
This work also intersects naturally with oncology and survivorship, where long-term metabolic and cardiovascular health can become an important part of overall wellbeing.
Professional Work & Interests
I am passionate about translating research into practical, meaningful information that patients can use to make informed decisions about their health. My clinical interests include integrative oncology, cancer nutrition, metabolic health, and healthy aging.

Teaching & Education
Education has always been an important part of my work. I enjoy breaking down complex topics, creating an environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, and helping learners connect scientific knowledge with real-world clinical practice.
I currently work at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine as a teaching assistant in Intravenous Therapy, and this semester I am also supporting students in Botanical Medicine.
Evidence-Informed Practice
I believe healthcare should be grounded in good evidence while still recognizing that you're more than a collection of lab results and diagnoses. My approach combines the best available research with clinical experience and an understanding of your individual needs, goals, and values.
I'm committed to being transparent about what we know, what we don't know, and where evidence is still evolving. My goal is to help you make informed decisions about your care—not to overwhelm you with recommendations.
Good care isn't about doing more. It's about doing what makes sense for you.
Outside the Clinic
When I'm not seeing patients, you'll usually find me experimenting with a new recipe, trying a new workout class, exploring Toronto, or planning my next trip.
