About this time last year I wrote a post about mself, I thought it’d be a great time (again!) to reintroduce myself!
Hi, I’m Dr. Romi Fung, ND, a Naturopathic Physician based in Richmond, BC, focusing in cognitive health and dementia—areas I’m truly passionate about.
I view the brain as more than what’s inside the skull. It impacts everything from inflammation and insulin resistance to cardiovascular disease. That’s why I take a comprehensive, functional approach with each patient. Starting with a detailed history and cognitive assessment, I use blood tests to get a full picture of what’s happening in the body, recognizing that no two cases of cognitive decline are the same.
I earned my BSc in Health Sciences from SFU, then my ND from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. After starting my practice, I completed an M.Sc. in Aging and Health from Queen’s University and am now a Ph.D. candidate there. I’ve also pursued several post-graduate certifications, including:
• ReCODE 2.0 Bredesen Protocol
• Certified Functional Medicine Clinician
• Certified Brain Health Professional
• Certified Dementia Care Practitioner
I’m also passionate about teaching! I’m an instructor at CCNM-Boucher Campus, where I teach Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture, and I supervise interns at Boucher Naturopathic Clinic. Over the last 7 years, I’ve had the privilege of speaking at 250+ events, reaching tens of thousands of people, from patients to healthcare professionals, across Canada.
I also serve as President of the Senior Link Society Board of Directors in engaging seniors in our community.
Outside of work, I enjoy working out (expect some gym flexes), reading motivational books, playing video games (Pokemon Legends ZA anyone?), and watching anime. I grew up playing video games as a healer character, which inspired me to become a healer myself!
Thanks for following my journey, and I’m excited to share more with you all!
