Canada's top doctor Dr. Theresa Tam steps down amid alarming health crises
Dr. Theresa Tam , Canada 's chief public health officer since June 2017, will be stepping down from her post on June 20, 2025, marking the end of an eight-year tenure that spanned some of the most challenging public health crises of recent memory. A pediatric infectious diseases physician by training, Dr. Tam first joined Canada's federal public health ranks in 1998, not long after measles was officially eliminated from the country. Now, she returns to that same battlefield, observing with concern the virus's unsettling reappearance, but expresses optimism: 'I'm confident Canada can stop domestic transmission once again through immunization,' she told reporters. Dr Tam's journey by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like You Might Want To Buy Baking Soda In Bulk After Reading This Read More Undo Tam's career has been threaded through Canada's major public health emergencies. From SARS in 2003 when she served in the Immunization and Respiratory Infections Division to H1N1, Ebola, MERS, and the COVID‑19 pandemic, Tam has been both a frontline thinker and a crisis communicator. Her leadership during COVID‑19 was marked by daily press briefings, science-led messaging, and calm reassurance, which made her a national figure. Live Events During a candid interview, Tam reflected on the unrelenting pressure of the pandemic: over 60,000 lives lost; polarized public debates; but also profound displays of communal solidarity. 'Mentally, it was very stressful,' she said, highlighting how provincial partners and her personal support systems helped her endure. Her personal life and love for music Behind the official role lies a multifaceted individual. Tam, who plays piano, violin, cello even trumpet, saw parallels between conducting an orchestra and steering an emergency response. 'I translated a lot of my musical thinking into conducting an emergency,' she told CTV and CityNews. With no job lined up post-June 20, Tam plans to step back and regroup with family, lace up for long‑distance runs, and reconnect with her music. 'At some point in my career, I've dropped a whole bunch of them,' she said, referring to her musical passion. In recent years, she's championed issues underscored in her 2022 annual report, including climate change, health equity, Indigenous leadership in public health, and vaccination strategy for the next decade. The Public Health Agency of Canada has begun recruiting her successor.

Plant-Based Proteins: The Sustainable Choice Shaping the Future of Nutrition
Last Updated: As science advances and awareness deepens, plant-based proteins will no longer stand in the shadows of tradition As the world awakens to the deeper impact of everyday choices, food is no longer just fuel — it is a force. Our plates now reflect not only personal preferences but global priorities. In this evolving narrative of nutrition, plant-based proteins have emerged not as a passing trend but as a quiet, powerful revolution. Once considered an alternative, they are now becoming essential offering a way to nourish a growing population while gently treading on the planet that feeds us. Dr. Vilas Shirhatti, Principal Adviser, Zydus Wellness (RiteBite Max Protein), shares all you need to know: Traditional animal-based proteins, while rich in amino acids, exact a heavy toll on ecosystems. Livestock farming contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, water depletion, and deforestation. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), animal agriculture accounts for nearly 14.5% of global emissions — more than the entire transportation sector. In contrast, proteins from legumes, nuts, grains, and seeds have a substantially smaller carbon and water footprint, making them a far more sustainable and scalable solution for the future. From a health perspective, plant-based proteins are increasingly proving their merit. A study published in The Journal of the American Heart Association found that diets higher in plant proteins and lower in red and processed meats were associated with improved cardiovascular outcomes. Rich in fiber, antioxidants, and essential nutrients, these protein sources support metabolic health, reduce inflammation, and may aid in long-term weight management — all without overburdening the digestive system. Moreover, the science of digestibility and bioavailability has advanced. Earlier criticisms regarding the completeness of plant proteins have now been addressed by combining various sources — such as rice and peas — to achieve a complete amino acid profile. Modern food technology continues to refine these blends, resulting in efficient, high-quality protein that caters to diverse dietary needs, including for those managing chronic conditions like diabetes or hypertension. Beyond nutrition and ecology, there's a socio-economic dimension at play. Growing plant-based protein crops requires less land, fewer resources, and supports local farming economies. This shift can democratize access to quality nutrition while building resilience against climate change and global food insecurity. Over the past three to four decades, we've also seen a rise in zoonotic diseases — illnesses passed from animals to humans — such as COVID-19, bird flu, H1N1, and mad cow disease. A greater reliance on plant proteins can reduce such risks and help prevent future outbreaks. The future of nourishment rests in harmony — where personal well-being and planetary vitality are no longer separate pursuits but deeply entwined. Every choice for a cleaner, kinder protein source becomes a quiet act of restoration, not just for our bodies but for the Earth itself. It is a shift toward regeneration over depletion, conscience over convenience, and resilience over short-term gain. As science advances and awareness deepens, plant-based proteins will no longer stand in the shadows of tradition. They will lead not as alternatives, but as the new standard — for a healthier, more sustainable world.
