About Gwyllyn Goddard
Physician, Science Team Leader, Entrepreneur, Agronomist
Raised on the Saskatchewan prairies, Gwyllyn underwent Medical Officer Training Plan (MOTP) in the Canadian Forces and completed his family medicine residency at McGill in Montreal, Quebec. His experiences included working in a mobile medical clinic in Kathmandu, Nepal, assisting in almost 400 deliveries, and serving in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, with the Norwegian Red Cross during tsunami disaster relief. Dr. Goddard's interest in emergency room procedures and international medicine blossomed during this time.
As a general practitioner, he furthered his studies with an A4M fellowship, focusing on bioidentical hormones. His expertise extended to assisting patients with transitioning and providing age-related hormone support, particularly in menopause management. Dr. Goddard also showed a keen interest in offering longitudinal care to those dealing with comorbidities related to diabetes, obesity, and chronic diseases.
Throughout his career, Dr. Goddard spent several years moonlighting in indigenous communities, participating in international third-world disaster relief efforts, and working in rural settings. He served as a smaller-community emergency room physician and hospitalist, gaining diverse healthcare experience.
With about ten years in regular urban family practice, he often served as a locum from 2007 to 2015, supporting fellow healthcare professionals. Dr. Goddard also ventured into other business sectors, particularly cannabinoid medicine, where he guided nearly 10,000 Canadians on their journey to cultivate and access medical cannabis, contributing to the path towards legalization.
In 2018, Dr. Goddard took a sabbatical from family medicine while retaining his medical license in British Columbia, maintaining good standing with the CPSBC. Despite false rumors circulated by special interest groups regarding his license, he temporarily shifted his focus and served as the owner and science officer of 'Nutrilife Plant Products,' a role he continues to hold.
Beyond his medical pursuits, Dr. Goddard finds joy in nature, physical fitness, language studies, and a profound interest in science fiction. Committed to professional development, he engages in ongoing coursework, including studies for the USMLE American Certification, enabling doctors to work in various countries. His current professional goals center on practicing medicine, addressing healthcare system challenges in Canada, and contributing to healthcare efforts globally.
