President

My background includes tenure at Cancer Treatment Centers of America, now City of Hope, where I became adept at leading a team, developing programs, and engaging in scientific exchange.  My appointment as the Integrative Liaison for the Prostate Center of Excellence demonstrates my passion to be a part of a team that is driving innovative integrative therapies. 

As the Residency Program Manager at CTCA, I am proud to share that we engaged and inspired residents resulting in a nationally recognized program by which other programs are benchmarked to this day.

With over a decade of experience, Dr. Jeane leads with a holistic approach, combining the best of naturopathic and conventional medicine to care for her patients and guide them toward better health outcomes.

Secretary

Dr. LaToya Lewis began her career in information technology and project management, where she spent nearly two decades helping organizations improve the way they work.

Her background in business taught her to evaluate processes to understand how different pieces fit together and how thoughtful, individualized solutions can create meaningful change. Those same skills eventually led her to a different kind of problem-solving: understanding the many factors that influence a person’s health.

After earning her bachelor’s degree in management information systems from Ohio University, Dr. Lewis went on to receive her doctorate in naturopathic medicine from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. During her training, she developed a particular interest in cancer care and the ways naturopathic medicine can support people throughout the cancer journey including prevention, treatment, survivorship, and long-term health. She completed an oncology-focused residency at Goshen Center for Cancer Care and became board certified in naturopathic oncology through the American Board of Naturopathic Oncology (ABNO).

Outside of patient care, Dr. Lewis enjoys spending time with her family, serving her community, strength training, dancing, and traveling.

Director

After obtaining my medical degree and moving back home to Toronto, I discovered Naturopathic Medicine and fell in love with the practice and principles of Naturopathy. In becoming a Naturopathic Doctor, I obtained a real appreciation for the connection I was able to make with patients, while helping them obtain their health goals.

After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) and being accepted into the CCNM Clinical Residency Program, I became CCNM's first Oncology Focused Resident.

It was during that time I learned how to integrate natural therapies with conventional cancer treatments, while working with various oncologists at Sunnybrook, Markham Stouffville, and Stronach Regional Cancer Centre at Southlake hospitals.

Director

I’m Dr. Julio Cantillo, NMD, a naturopathic physician and cofounder of SANAVITA Health, where I bring together rigorous biomedical training, integrative medicine, and a deeply personalized approach to care. My foundation in Human Biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin Madison, followed by my naturopathic medical education at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and a CNME-approved residency program, shaped my clinical approach and commitment to evidence-informed, whole-person medicine. My own health journey ultimately led me to seek naturopathic care and became the catalyst for a deeper calling in medicine: to understand not only disease, but the person experiencing it. Through my private practice, SANAVITA Health, I focus on integrative oncology, prevention, and personalized health strategies that help patients navigate complex health decisions with greater clarity and confidence. I believe exceptional medicine should be sophisticated yet deeply human, grounded in science while honoring the individuality of every patient, and ultimately designed to empower the patient within.
