Patricia Thomson aka Dr. T: From Surviving to Thriving—A Life's Mission to Heal Dr. T is not just a health expert—she's a survivor, a mother, and a guide for those standing at the crossroads of wellness and overwhelm. Her story begins with a deep loss and a diagnosis no one wants: cancer. But instead of breaking her, it ignited a fire that would shape the rest of her life. As a parent to beautiful, neurodivergent children, Dr. T has walked the tightrope of advocacy and exhaustion, science and intuition, daily chaos and deep love. She knows—intimately—the silent fears parents carry, the late-night research sessions, the confusion around food, and the desperate search for answers that actually work. Her lived experience, combined with decades of scientific training, became the foundation of her life’s mission: to simplify health, demystify nutrition, and empower individuals and families to heal, starting at the cellular level. Armed with a Ph.D. in toxicology and environmental biology, along with certifications in plant-based nutrition, culinary instruction, medicinal plants, and health coaching, Dr. T created a comprehensive system of healing. Her step-by-step classes and coaching programs guide people from that very first step, whether it's cleaning out a pantry, reversing chronic disease, or rebuilding a microbiome, to a lifestyle rooted in joy, vitality, and sustainable health. From the role of food in neurodivergent wellness, to prepping your kitchen for success, to reversing chronic disease through whole foods and gut health, Dr. T teaches what she has lived. Her book, WFPB20: A Step-by-Step Guide to Adopting a Whole Food Plant-Based Lifestyle, continues to empower thousands. She founded Wellness20, a vibrant educational platform that simplifies nutrition and empowers individuals, families, and professionals to build lasting health through plant-based living. Through Wellness20, she has developed a comprehensive suite of programs and coaching systems that walk people through every stage of their health journey, from the very first step to transforming the kitchen, supporting neurodivergent health with food, preparing healing recipes, understanding gut health, and reclaiming vitality. Whether you're overwhelmed, burned out, or just ready to finally feel good in your body, Dr. T is the voice you want in your corner. Her work is rooted in compassion, guided by evidence, and driven by a belief that every person can take back their health, one bite, one step, one breakthrough at a time. If you’re looking for someone who gets it, who’s been through it, researched it, and turned pain into purpose, Dr. T is that guide. Her work with Wellness20 is more than education—it’s a movement. A new way forward. One rooted in science, shaped by compassion, and fueled by the unshakable belief that healing is always possible, especially when you’re not doing it alone.
