Chiva-Som has appointed Dr. Tal Friedman as Head Naturopath and Research & Development Specialist, bringing to the leading wellness resort in Hua Hin, Thailand, a vast knowledge of comprehensive and practical plans to implement for guests wanting to look and feel their best.
A pioneer in global wellness, Chiva-Som reopened in October 2019 following the fourth and final stage of its extensive renovation programme, which has transformed the resort.
Dr. Friedman completed his undergraduate degree in Kinesiology and Health Science at York University in Toronto, Canada receiving specialised honours with a focus on sports nutrition. He went on to complete a four-year post-graduate Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine (ND) at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto during which time Dr. Friedman also undertook a 12-month clinical internship at the Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic in Toronto and shifts at various satellite clinics around Toronto, focusing on special populations.
At a Toronto clinic established in sports medicine, Dr. Friedman worked closely with hockey players, combat athletes, runners and fitness competitors, whilst at a general practice, he treated a number of health concerns including blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and arthritic conditions.
Dr. Friedman was a Naturopathic Doctor at Chiva-Som from June 2016 to June 2018. Before returning to Chiva-Som, Dr Friedman was involved in launching and developing a new wellness concept for an international brand.
