Jen Green, ND, FABNO
How did you get into Naturopathic Oncology?
Jen was fortunate to take over Dr. Sat Dharam Kaur’s practice in Toronto when she first graduated, which had a strong focus on breast cancer. As an Ashkenazi Jewish woman, Jen also has many family members who have struggled with cancer (breast cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, lymphoma and nerve sheath sarcoma). This has made for some deep dives.
What do you do during your downtime and/or what do you do for fun?
Jen LOVES to dance (yes, it’s the cancer miasm), kayak, hike, and do expressive arts therapy.
What is your “broken record” statement to your patients?
Jen believes in using the “best of both worlds” to treat cancer. She also affirms that human health and the health of our planet are one.
