The people behind
Better Forever

Health is not an end point but rather a journey of self-discovery, knowledge and wisdom. Health is as simple as it is complex and each individual has specific needs as well as obstacles. Integrating science and nature, Dr. Berghamer endeavours to create relationships with patients that empower them with knowledge such that their health goals are not only achieved but sustained.

As a naturopathic doctor and Co-Founder of Better Forever, Dr. Berghamer has expertise in physical medicine, sport medicine, genomics and integrative pain management. By combining the principles of naturopathic medicine and science, Dr. Berghamer has created a unique approach to pain management and longevity.

Having been involved in sports from a young age, Dr. Berghamer well recognizes the benefits of physical fitness but also the challenges that come with being injured. But the reality is that most injuries occur outside of sport. When we are limited in what we love to do, whether it be long walks or power lifting, it has significant impact on our health and mental well-being. Understanding the complexity and mechanisms of pain is critical in order to alleviate its burden.

While it is often necessary to identify and treat pain generators directly, vibrant health is not only defined as being pain-free. Everyone deserves to live fulfilling lives that are not only free of pain but are thriving in health. Longevity should be measured by both quantity and quality.

Dr. Berghamer has developed significant clinical experience working with a large variety of musculoskeletal conditions, injuries and pain, as well as traumatic brain injuries and concussions, hormone optimization, chronic systemic and digestive infections, and longevity optimization through genetic assessment and interpretation. Dr. Berghamer incorporates exercise, epigenetics, nutrition and manual therapies to help patients attain their health goals.

In the context of pain, Dr. Berghamer is one of the most skilled practitioners in the field of regenerative medicine, employing prolotherapy, neural therapy, platelet rich plasma therapy, bio-oxidative therapy, acupuncture and manual therapies in pain management and resolution. He employs a combination of hands-on techniques with individualized assessment programs to help patients live the lives they love.

Dr. Berghamer works with the integrated team at Better Forever. Weekends are often spent teaching other practitioners prolotherapy, bio-oxidative therapies, PRP and ultrasound.

Dr. Kawamoto takes a performance-driven, evidence-informed approach, combining his background in chiropractic care, biomechanics, and naturopathic medicine. He focuses on improving movement efficiency, reducing injury risk, and supporting recovery.

He has a strong interest in regenerative medicine, longevity, and hormone health, and has experience working with athletes at the NFL, CFL, NHL, and Olympic levels. His approach emphasizes optimizing biomechanics, supporting tissue health, and helping individuals perform and function at a high level while promoting long-term wellness.

As a strength athlete himself, he has broken national records in 4 different weight classes, all after sustaining a head and spine injury where he was told by multiple doctors he would never lift again.

It was through his own frustrating experience navigating the medical system that he discovered the desperate need for a better system to help those with injuries and chronic pain. Through collaboration with other key members of the Better Forever team, he developed the CORE4 system that has helped hundreds of people achieve pain free movement with an over 90% success rate, regardless of how many times they had failed to achieve improvement beforehand.

Joel has a life-long desire for the incredible benefits of movement. He has competed in over 10 sports, has a huge passion for off-road and racing motorsports. Always looking for the next challenge, he is currently training for a master’s track meet despite having no previous experience as a sprinter.

Cam has since worked with hundreds of clients across a wide range of ages, abilities, and goals. He has coached powerlifters to multiple national records and helped athletes reach the world stage. He has also helped people return to sports after being told they may never compete again, and helped parents regain the strength and mobility to get down on the floor and play with their children.

His coaching style is practical, individualized, and easy to understand. Rather than forcing everyone into the same system, Cam takes the time to understand each person’s history, goals, and current abilities before building a plan that fits their life. His approach has been shaped by years of hands-on coaching, mentorship, independent study, and continued learning through seminars and workshops.

Whether someone wants to move without pain, lose weight, become stronger, or return to an activity they thought they had lost, Cam’s goal is the same: to help them build confidence in their body and become more capable in both sport and everyday life.

Marina is an encouraging, detail-oriented, and direct coach who believes that change starts with being willing to try. She enjoys helping clients move the best they have ever moved and achieving their movement goals! As a lifelong competitive volleyball player and former competitive powerlifter and having suffered several injuries over the years, Marina brings first-hand experience with both athletic performance and injury recovery. Outside the gym, she enjoys watching and participating in motorsports, snowboarding, and playing video games.
