Who We Are

The Ripple Effect Wellness Organization (TREWO) is a registered Canadian charity dedicated to educating and empowering Canadians to lead healthy lives through proactive decision making.

Founded by Order of Canada recipient Dr. Sudi Devanesen and Ravi S. Juneja (one of the original founders and past presidents of EIPROC), TREWO bridges the care gap between physicians and patients through educating patients and those seeking medical advice or opinion.

As we celebrate Canada's cultural diversity, we also need to care about communities at risk for certain diseases: South Asians and Afro-Canadians for diabetes and high cholesterol. Caucasians for multiple sclerosis. The collective need for addressing addiction and mental health issues.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to create healthy communities by educating Canadians on how to prevent and address health issues. For TREWO, knowledge is the best preventative medication one can have.

President's Message

Health is directly related to your genetic makeup and lifestyle. Although you have no control over your genetic makeup, you do have control over your lifestyle. You can do a lot to prevent, control or delay disease and disability.

Our biggest health issues today are lifestyle diseases like diabetes and obesity. They have reached epidemic proportions, and are putting enormous stress on our healthcare system. For more than 30 years, I have treated and counselled thousands of patients on how to lead healthier and happier lives.

I have a family history of heart disease and diabetes, and over the years, have altered my lifestyle so that I can live a full and healthy life. I know, firsthand, what it means to be a patient. I also know, from experience, that even small changes in one's lifestyle and diet can make a big difference.

With the help of TREWO, and through this website, we can connect and spread the word about healthier living. I look forward to working with you to make Canada the gold standard of health and wellness. I am also requesting all my colleagues, who are among the finest caregivers in the world, as well as every Canadian to join me in spreading the mantra of good health.
