areas of focus

Dr. Lindsay McKenzie ND, MSc

  • From energy, sleep, libido, menstruation, fertility — hormones impact them all. 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 changes in energy, sleep, or focus, or simply wanting to feel your best as you age, we help your body adapt with strength and balance at every stage.

  • Concerns such as loss of appetite, nausea, heartburn, gas, bloating, constipation and diarrhea all indicate digestive imbalance. We can support conditions like IBS, IBD, GERD, lactose intolerance, gastric ulcers and more.

  • Dermatological concerns like acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, warts and fungal infections often signal internal imbalances involving hormones, digestion, or immunity. Naturopathic medicine takes an integrative approach — addressing these underlying systems to improve skin function and overall health.

  • Fatigue, iron deficiency, allergic reactions, heart health (maintaining blood pressure and healthy cholesterol levels), blood sugar control, thyroid function, bladder + prostate health (urinary tract infections, benign prostate hyperplasia)

our approach to care

  • Open book, yellow flowers, and a cup of tea with a lemon slice on a wooden board, all on a light-colored fabric surface illuminated by natural light.

    Lifestyle Counselling

    Your daily habits shape your health more than you might realize. We’ll look at your sleep, movement, stress, environment, and relationships, and work together to build sustainable routines that fit your life.

  • Laboratory test tubes with colored liquids in a rack, some with handwritten labels.

    functional lab 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.

  • Open book, yellow flowers, and a cup of tea on a wooden board, all arranged on a beige fabric surface.

    botanicals & supplementation

    Herbal medicines and nutraceuticals are used strategically and intentionally to help guide your body back to balance. Each recommendation is thoughtfully selected to address your current concerns while we support the foundations for long-term, sustainable wellness.

    clinical nutrition

    What you eat makes up the building blocks of your cells, shaping how your body functions and feels each day. Together, we’ll use food intentionally to optimize nutritional status, encourage healing, and boost energy — without rigid rules or overwhelm.

    • Hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, FSH, LH, prolactin)

    • Thyroid panel (TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3, thyroid antibodies)

    • Complete blood count (CBC)

    • Iron studies

    • Vitamin B12 & folate

    • Vitamin D

    • Cardiovascular health (cholesterol, homocysteine)

    • Liver enzymes (ALT, ALP, AST, GGT)

    • Kidney filtration and urinalysis

    • Comprehensive stool analysis — examines gut microbiome and potential pathogen overgrowth

    • Inflammatory markers (fecal calprotectin, elastase)

    • Urea breath test — where H. pylori infection is suspected

    • SIBO breath test — identifies bacterial overgrowth

    • Markers of inflammation (CRP, ESR)

    • Metabolic markers (glucose, insulin, HbA1c)

    • Organic Acid Testing (OAT) — assesses detox pathways, metabolic pathways, mitochondrial health, and presence of pathogens like mold
