Dr. Lisa Tabrizi ND, 217 Main Street W, Hamilton, ON (2025)

I am a naturopathic doctor, passionate on health and wellbeing. My goal as your naturopathic doctor is to help you feel your best so that you can go out and live life to the fullest. To do so, we will work together on your health in a holistic manner and examine all the factors contributing (or not contributing!) to your health. My practice in downtown Hamilton is a general family practice. I work with a diverse range of concerns with people of all ages and frequently treat mood, anxiety, digestion, chronic pain and women's and men's health concerns. I will give you an individualized treatment plan that will help restore your body to it's most optimal state, using tools such as nutrition, supplements, herbs and teas, acupuncture, homeopathy, and stress reduction techniques. My education as a naturopathic doctor included 4 rigorous years of study at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, Ontario during which I also completed additional training in homeopathy in India. Prior to that, I completed my Bachelor of Science with Honours in Biological Science at the University of Guelph. During my studies at Guelph, I took numerous courses on physiology and nutrition which then led me to naturopathic medicine. Throughout my high school and post-secondary education, I worked as a lifeguard and leadership instructor and have been dedicated to promoting water safety education, teaching swimming skills, as well as training others in first aid and lifesaving techniques. I still teach the odd course from time to time and can otherwise be found globetrotting, hiking, and finding new ways to engage others in their health.

💭 Ever feel like you’re pulled in two directions?

You want to get healthier and exercise…
…but you also want to stay up late watching Netflix.

You want to meal prep and eat better…
…but you also want to unwind with takeout after a long day.

This tug-of-war is what I call competing values — two things you truly care about, but that don’t always play well together. And when they collide, you feel stuck, guilty, or frustrated with yourself.

✨ The first step is awareness — realizing that this conflict exists doesn’t make you lazy or undisciplined. It makes you human.

Here are a few ways to start breaking the cycle:

1️⃣ Clarify your “why.” Ask yourself what value matters most right now. Maybe rest is what you actually need tonight — or maybe your energy goal matters more this week.

2️⃣ Plan for both. Pair them strategically: stretch or foam roll while watching your show, or set a firm bedtime so you can still enjoy both Netflix and your morning workout.

3️⃣ Start small. You don’t need to overhaul your habits overnight. Aligning your actions with your values happens in micro-decisions — one choice at a time.

Awareness → Alignment → Ease.

That’s the formula for creating less inner conflict and more consistency.

You may have seen a post circulating about a “new menopause study” claiming that starting estrogen therapy earlier lowers your risk of heart attack, stroke, and even breast cancer.

Here’s the truth ⤵️

✅ This was an observational study — researchers looked back at patterns in electronic health records.

🚫 It was not a randomized controlled trial, which is the kind of evidence that actually changes clinical guidelines.

📄 And importantly — this study hasn’t even been published or peer-reviewed yet. It was presented as a conference abstract, meaning it still needs full scientific scrutiny before being considered reliable evidence.

Observational studies are great for generating hypotheses — but they can’t prove cause and effect.

Women who start hormone therapy early may simply be healthier, have better access to care, or engage more in preventive health. Those differences alone can change risk outcomes.

So while this research is encouraging, it’s not practice-changing yet.

If you’re curious about hormone therapy, the best next step is an informed discussion with your healthcare provider about your risks, timing, and goals.

Let’s keep celebrating progress while keeping our science grounded. 💪

Heavy remembers. Light drifts.

Have you ever noticed how your mind clings to the heavy moments… the criticism, the hurt, the fear — yet the joyful flashes feel almost slippery? As if they float away before we can hold them.

There’s a reason.

Negative memories are weighty. Our nervous system is wired to hold onto “threat” to keep us safe. It grips the heavy.

But joy… gratitude… awe? Those are light, airy, ethereal — they require intention to stay.

🍂 As we enter fall — a season of descent, loss, and letting go — nature reminds us:

Trees release what no longer nourishes.

Light shortens, inviting rest.

We gather inward.

This season asks:

🧡 What heaviness are you holding that your body is tired of carrying?

💛 What moments of light can you gather, gently, like leaves before they drift away?

Your mood isn’t just chemical — it’s seasonal, emotional, ancestral. While we may not control every feeling, we can nourish the nervous system by seeking the light on purpose.

This week, try:
✨ Writing down one tiny moment of warmth
✨ Letting one “heavy” thought be released, like a leaf
✨ Asking: What can I set down? What can I keep?

You are not required to carry everything. 💛

Yes, I’m sitting here with my cozy sweater and warm mug, feeling relaxed … but also thinking about what’s really going on behind the scenes in our body. Because our gut is doing so much more than digesting food.

Here’s what science is showing us — and why I care so much about supporting digestion, immunity, and the nervous system (these systems are inseparable).

🔸 Up to 70–80% of our immune cells are located in the gut, operating as a frontline defense.

🔸 The gut houses its own nervous system — the enteric nervous system — often called our “second brain,” with hundreds of millions of neurons embedded throughout the GI tract.

🔸 And perhaps most mind-blowing: around 90–95% of our body’s serotonin is produced in the intestines (by specialized gut cells and influenced by gut microbes).

These facts tell us something beautiful: digestion, immunity, and our nervous / emotional well-being are deeply intertwined.

✅ When your gut is balanced, it can educate immune cells (helping them distinguish friend vs foe), modulate inflammation, and even influence your mood and resilience through neurochemical signals.

✅ When digestion is off (dysbiosis, inflammation, poor motility), everything else can follow — immune overreaction, mood swings, weakened defenses, persistent discomfort.

My mission is to help you support that foundation — so your body can operate from strength, not struggle.

If you’re curious about how to start (even gently) with strategies to nurture digestion, immunity & mood, book an appointment with me today.
