Originally from Brazil, Dr. Amauri Caversan, ND brings a unique foundation to his naturopathic practice, shaped by his early academic training in agricultural science and a deep curiosity about plant-based healing traditions. His studies at the Federal University of Espírito Santo included fieldwork cataloging native medicinal plants, which helped him recognize the profound connection between nature, food, and health.

Driven by this insight, he relocated to Canada to pursue formal training in integrative healthcare and earned his Doctor of Naturopathy degree from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2007. Since then, he has been applying both clinical science and traditional knowledge in his approach to health and wellness.

In 2012, Dr. Amauri introduced Toronto’s first IV therapy lounge, offering customized nutrient infusions as a complementary therapy to his growing patient base. He later played a key role in founding the Toronto Functional Medicine Centre, where he focuses on supporting digestive health, hormonal regulation, neurological function, and terrain-based health optimization.

Beyond the clinic, his work includes ongoing field research in the Amazon Forest, where he continues to study herbal medicine and Non-Conventional Food Plants. This direct engagement with traditional botanical knowledge informs his clinical insights and enriches the holistic strategies he uses with patients seeking sustainable, integrative care.
