In 1998, author, educator and biochemist, Lyle MacWilliam, began a search for a vitamin and mineral supplement for his family.

A year later, the first Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements was produced, and MacWilliam Communications Inc. was born.  

The company later included Northern Dimensions Publishing, a publishing enterprise focused on nutrition and health science.

An accomplished martial artist, Lyle is passionate about personal fitness and optimal health. He has authored several previous publications comparing the nutritional profiles of Canadian and American dietary supplements. His writing hits hard at today’s lifestyle and dietary patterns and their role in the development of degenerative disease.

Lyle’s scientifically rigorous, no-nonsense delivery, lightened with a gentle touch of humor, has earned him praise across Canada and the U.S. as a sought-after speaker on the importance of nutrition and lifestyle.
