A Life Shaped by Athletics & Wellness<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario, Dr. Barlow grew up in a family that valued both hard work and sportsmanship. He excelled athletically, playing football, hockey, baseball, badminton, golf, and touch football throughout high school. His efforts earned him the title of Athlete of the Year in 1997 at Barton Secondary School. He went on to play three seasons of varsity football for the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks, where he developed a deep interest in athletic performance and injury prevention.<\/p>\n

After graduating from Wilfrid Laurier, Dr. Barlow moved west to Invermere, BC, working at Panorama Mountain Village in the ski industry \u2014 and it was there that he met his future wife.<\/p>\n

It was during these years that Dr. Barlow\u2019s passion for health and longevity crystalized. He wanted to push the limits of athletic performance without sacrificing long-term health. Exploring nutrition courses led him to discover naturopathic medicine. After shadowing several naturopathic doctors and seeing firsthand the results they achieved with patients, he knew this was his calling.<\/p>\n

He returned to school to complete the prerequisites, was accepted into his top choice at BINM in 2005, and has been serving patients with dedication and heart ever since.<\/p>\n
