Dr. Aileen Burford-Mason PhD

Dr. Aileen Burford-Mason Ph.D. is a cell biologist, immunologist, and one of Canada’s leading experts in Orthomolecular Nutrition — the science of using optimal levels of vitamins and nutrients to support health and prevent disease.

Her work spans three key areas:

  • Clinical practice, where she applies a personalized, evidence-informed nutritional approach to help clients achieve and maintain health
  • Education, including continuing medical education (CME) courses for physicians and health professionals, as well as public lectures that make complex nutritional science accessible and practical
  • Writing, as the best-selling author of books exploring the central role nutrition can play in healthy aging, cognitive vitality, and disease prevention

A former Director of a cancer research laboratory at Toronto General Hospital and Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto, Dr. Burford-Mason now focuses on translating the latest nutritional science into practical guidance on diet and supplementation — supporting everyday health and wellbeing with a science-based approach grounded in biochemistry.
