Vancouver Naturopathic Clinic - Vanessa Lindsay, ND

As a naturopathic doctor, I  support my patients in identifying and overcoming barriers to reaching their heath goals.   I believe that when provided with the correct tools, the body has the ability to balance itself and improve resiliency to the effects of stress on physical and mental health. 

As a family naturopathic doctor, I treat a variety of patients and welcome a range of health concerns, but my clinical interests are:

• Neurological Health (concussion, TBI, MS, Alzheimer's disease & cogntive decline, autism, ADHD)
• Mental Wellness (anxiety & depression, stress, low energy)
• Immune Dysregulaton & Autoimmune Conditions (asthma, eczema, chronic recurrent infections, environmental allergies, food intolerances & sensitivities, Rheumatoid arthriits, Hashimotos thyroiditis, Graves disease, celiac disease, Type 1 diabetes)
• Female & Male Hormone & Reproductive Health (fatigue, thyroid disorders, adrenal health, menstrual irregularies, endometriosis, fibroids, hot flashes, low libido, blood sugar dysregulation, BPH, frequent urinary tract infections, interstitial cystitis) 
• Muskuloskeletal Health (whiplash, chronic pain, chronic sprain/strains, joint pain, acute injuries) 

Regardless of how complex health conditions can be, restoration begins with the basics to create a strong foundation for healing. Eating a diet rich in nutritious whole foods, adequate sleep and hydration, and regular physical movement lays the foundation for healing to begin.  

I received my naturopathic medical training from the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine after completing an undergraduate honours degree in Biology & Psychology at the University of Victoria. I incorporate acupuncture, dry needling, botanical medicine, therapeutic nutrition, mindfulness counselling, and intramuscular vitamin injections in practice.  My skill-set continues to grow with courses in total body modification (TBM), chronic pain management, mental health, and mind-body medicine.  

Recognizing that each patient is unique, I work with you to create a comprehensive and tailored plan to reach your health goals.  When not in the clinic, you will find me cycling rain or shine or reading at the beach.
