About Dr Marina OBGYN

My Mission

I have been an OBGYN and an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ottawa for over 35 years, providing care to women during all stages of life. My passion is patient education, and I take a holistic functional approach to patient care. With this aim, I have written a book entitled “Optimize Your Fertility Naturally: A Holistic Guide to Achieving a Healthy Pregnancy,” where men and women can learn proven lifestyle strategies to help them increase their chance of having a healthy pregnancy. I also provide nutrigenomic testing and counseling to both women and men to improve their overall health and increase their chances of natural conception.

Coming Soon . . . a new book to help both men and women improve their overall health and fertility!

The mysteries of reproduction have fascinated human beings for time immemorial. Extensive research and advances in this area are significant, but the success rate is surprisingly low. What is the missing “piece” in this equation? Dr. Marina’s book takes us on a fascinating journey through the universe of hormones, human reproductive biology, and the connection between these and the environment, lifestyle choices, habits, and established societal perceptions. This book is the first of its kind, connecting all these dots completely. Easy to read and understand, Dr. Marina’s book enables individuals without medical training to comprehend the complex processes that precede and lead to the desired outcomes of pregnancy. It allows young women and men to understand and participate in the process. This book will help them make well-informed decisions. I am confident it will improve their chances of success. This book is a reflection of the long and fruitful career of a brilliant and caring physician. Dr. Marina is a tireless advocate of a healthy life and longevity. She is not only a talented writer but also a gifted speaker at numerous seminars that attract young and old alike.
