Dr. Lindsay McKenzie ND, MSc

From energy, mood, sleep, motivation, and libido — hormones impact them all. Hormonal conditions such as PMOS (PCOS) and endometriosis can make your monthly cycle even more symptomatic than it should be. Naturopathy can assess and address your body’s natural rhythms and guide them back to balance.
-
Aging is a natural process that brings change for all of us. Whether you’re navigating menopause, noticing new symptoms like exhaustion, brain fog, hot flashes, poor sleep, irritability or anxiety, or simply wanting to feel your best as you age, we help your body adapt with strength and balance at every stage.

Do you feel like you can’t get through a day without caffeine or a nap? Do you feel tired and brain foggy no matter how much you sleep? Your naturopath can help you understand the root cause of these symptoms, from iron deficiency to burnout, perimenopause, thyroid dysfunction, blood sugar imbalance and more.

our holistic approach
supplements
why it’s important
Supplements can correct nutrient deficiencies, fill nutritional gaps, and help guide your body back to balance while we work on the root cause of your symptoms.
what’s included
Based on your symptoms, health history, diet, and appropriate lab testing, we’ll choose supplements intentionally for you and define the results we’re looking for.
what to expect
You may notice some initial changes within a few weeks, while correcting deficiencies and imbalances can take several months.
lifestyle changes
why it’s important
Your sleep, stress, movement, and daily responsibilities shape your health more than you might realize, making it essential to build habits that support you rather than leave you running on empty.
what’s included
We’ll identify practical changes to your self-care routines, stress management, environment, and relationships that fit your real life without adding more to your already-full plate.
what to expect
You may notice better sleep, stress levels, mood, and energy within days to weeks, while lasting changes develop with consistency over time.
clinical nutrition
why it’s important
What you eat influences your energy, mood, and recovery. Missing key nutrients like protein, iron, vitamin D and calcium can leave your body depleted.
what’s included
We'll look at how you're eating in real life, from meal timing and protein intake to blood sugar balance and key nutrients that support overall health. Our goal is to fuel your body without restriction or a complicated meal plan.
what to expect
You may notice improvements in energy, cravings, and mood within a few weeks of making consistent changes, while changes in body composition and longer-term health take more time.
Personalized testing
When you’re not feeling your best, basic lab work doesn’t always tell the full story. Functional testing helps us dig deeper to understand why symptoms are happening, so your treatment plan is truly tailored to you.
gut health evaluation
Uncover what’s going on beneath the surface of your gut and what could be behind your bloating, digestive issues, and discomfort.

Understand how your cortisol fluctuates throughout the day, and contributes to your energy & sleep changes.

Explore how your body clears hormones, revealing clues that may help explain your PMS, acne or mood swings.
