Dr. Julie Hwang, ND, BSc
Owner & Founder, Aurum Medicine & Wellness Clinic
Chief Clinical Officer & Global Corporate Wellness Program Director
Hi, I’m Dr. Julie Hwang, a licensed naturopathic doctor and global expert in integrative medicine, dedicated to helping individuals and communities achieve their best state of health and wellness. I believe deeply in the capacity of every person to be truly well when supported by a holistic approach that combines science, nature, and personalized care.
In 2018, I cofounded Aurum Medicine & Wellness Clinic, recognized as the Best Health & Wellness Clinic 2024 – GTA by Corporate Vision magazine. At Aurum Medicine & Wellness Clinic, we take an integrative, patient-centered approach to health. Beyond the clinic, I’m the co-founder, COO and CPO of NOON, where we merge neuroscience and nature to develop innovative products that enhance mind and mood.
Aurum encompasses our multidisciplinary clinic as well as our online coaching services in English (led by Adea Cocoli) and French (led by Laken Lima), and our luxury corporate wellness retreat in the Azores, offered in English, French, and Portuguese.
My Expertise
My academic journey began at McGill University, where I studied Physiology and pre-medical sciences, including an exchange at the National University of Singapore. I earned my Doctor of Naturopathy degree from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM), developing a focus on neurological and skin health. I did clinical research in epilepsy at the University of Toronto further cemented my fascination with the connection between the brain and body.
An interest in integrative and naturopathic medicine has led me to pursue advanced clinical training across the globe, including at the Humlegaarden Integrative Cancer Clinic in Denmark. Over the years, I’ve spoken at international conferences and I serve as an Ambassador for the Integrative and Naturopathic Medicine World Congress, a congress held in Paris, London, and beyond, where I organize global gatherings to advance the field of integrative medicine.
Today, I focus on treating chronic skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne, as well as neurological concerns such as migraines and seizure disorders. My whole-person approach integrates functional nutrition, traditional East Asian acupuncture practices, mind-body medicine, and evidence-based research into functional mushrooms for mental health and cognitive wellness.
Working with High-Performing Athletes
As a former competitive athlete in soccer, volleyball, and skiing, I understand the demands of high performance. For over a decade, I’ve worked with elite athletes to optimize their health, recovery, and performance. I worked alongside Physical therapists, Chiropractors, Nutritionists, Dietitians, Surgeons and Sports Medicine professionals treating athletes at the amateur and Olympic levels with the integrative medicine approach. This unique perspective allows me to bring evidence-based strategies to clients striving to reach their full potential in sport, business, and life.
Features & Recognition
My work has been featured in Hypebae, Bloomberg, and WellWorthy, and I’ve been interviewed on Pontoon Insights to share my expertise on corporate wellness and integrative medicine.
My leadership extends beyond the clinic as the former Executive Director of Women’s Health Environments Network (WHEN), NGO recipient of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Recognition Award during UN’s 72 Anniversary Ceremony, and as a former executive officer of the Institute of Green and Open Sciences (IGOS) partnered with Green Neuroscience.
