Dr. Lindsay Self, Naturopathic Doctor

I’m licensed Naturopathic Doctor since 2010. I like yoga, physiology, and tacos. It's all about balance. I love running, physiology, coffee, and tacos.

My approach is simple: set realistic and achievable goals to live healthier. As a licensed Naturopathic Doctor at Brooklin Village Beauty & Wellness, I use nutrition, herbal medicine, nutritional supplementation, acupuncture, and Chinese medicine. Each treatment plan is as individual as you are!

My anti-aging secrets:

Not to say that I’m doing it perfectly, but I like to think I’m aging pretty gracefully! Even though these glasses are bifocals…💃

MUSCLE. 💪 At 46, the importance of building muscle cannot be stressed enough. Not toning, building. I rely on my heavy home weights, yoga mat, and

FUEL. ⛽️ Overall health needs fibre and antioxidants (yes this is my typical fridge). Building muscle requires enough protein to see results. My goals sit around 120g/day for how much activity I do and I hit it probably 5/7 days a week. Hey, I didn’t say I was doing it perfectly… but it’s enough to get the results I need.

WATER. 💦 The biggest challenge! Thanks to my trusty sippy cup at work and tea pot at home, I’m usually good at hitting 3 litres a day, even though I feel better with 4…

NATURE. 🌳🐕🚶‍♀️Aaaahhhh vitamin N. It’s good for you. So is walking. So are dogs. All 3 together? Magic.

ADVENTURE & CURIOSITY. 🥂Stepping outside of the normal, trying new things, seeing new things, meeting new people, talking to new people, and overall being curious and kind. So happy that Dan and I hit 10 years of adventure together this year! Where’s next?? (Hint: it’s a very, very easy guess…)

When new guidelines came in last year, many more women started to finally get attention for low levels. FINALLY!

Supplementing is the easiest place to start. Iron is pretty hard on the body to take in so it’s important to find the right supplement for you.

Iron bisglycinate has the best absorption which means less digestive upset. Always take your iron with vitamin C as this will help it to cross your intestinal barrier. This can be as simple as OJ or a super cheap chewable supplement (yum!)

High doses aren’t always better. Our bodies have mechanisms to control how much iron is absorbed so if too much comes in at once, our intestines will block it. There are quite a few studies suggesting alternating days of high dose supplements to allow this mechanism to calm down. The results are overall better increases in iron levels. If your p**p is black while taking iron, your supplement is literally coming out the other end.

Infusions are an option for some people where supplementing just isn’t working. Whether intestinal absorption just isn’t happening or if iron loss (insanely heavy periods, for example) is greater than what you can take in. Remember, iron is incredibly hard on the body in large doses so infusions do carry risks. Chat with your doc about this - they’re not for everyone.

No one used to talk about it, now everyone’s talking about it! I love that women are sharing their symptoms and getting the validation that they aren’t crazy, though I get a lot of questions about what’s actually happening.

⭐️Late 30s-early 40s⭐️
Progesterone start to slip because our ovaries just don’t work like they used to. In order to make progesterone, we need to ovulate well. And well, ovaries are starting to dream of retirement.

Progesterone is very calming and it balances out the stimulatory effects of estrogen. PMS gets worse, the RAGE might start, sleep sucks before your period.

Treatment options are plentiful in this stage depending on what your periods are doing. (You need to chat with an ND or her lovely Intern…)

⭐️Mid-late 40s⭐️
Same symptoms as before… but worse 🤦🏼‍♀️

Estrogen levels begin to fluctuate and progesterone is pretty much gone. Periods change: sometimes heavier, sometimes erratic. Memory what? It’s hard to recall those things you say to describe something… WORDS! It’s hard to remember things when sleep is s**t.

We amp up treatment here with focus still on progesterone but also working with estrogen. Some women make more estrogen in this phase, some make less. Bioidentical progesterone may come in here as an option.

⭐️50ish⭐️
1 year without your period: Welcome to menopause. More on this later!

COLLAGEN

One of the most self-prescribed supplements I see and for good reason: it’s safe and effective… when it’s in the right dose.

Generally a dose is around 5-10g of a hydrolyzed collagen. The hydrolyzed piece it’s important because this is what allows the molecule to be absorbed more effectively.

A dose of that size cannot physically fit in a capsule, let alone a chewable or gummy. The best form to get an effective dose is either powder or liquid. Both work. Both don’t have to be incredibly expensive as many companies will have you believe.

If you’re taking a capsule or gummy, switch when you refill next. Or take 10-20 capsules a day.

If you’re taking a gummy of anything, switch next time you refill or skip it altogether. Save your money. 💰

Your vitamin D levels won’t get higher than they are now.

Vitamin D is activated in the skin with the sun. No skin in the sun, no vitamin D.

Sweater weather? No vitamin D.

If you experience Seasonal Affective Disorder or just have a really hard time getting through the winter, having your levels checked now is the best time.

We can make sure they’re at a healthy level before the winter hits so you’re able to cruise through with just minor complaints about shovelling.

It’s a super easy blood test. Ask your friendly neighbourhood ND (or her lovely intern…).

How does it work when you see us for your Naturopathic care?

It’s streamlined and integrative. I get a number of questions about what’s different when you see Intern Ana vs me vs Dr.Mary.

First, we all practice very similarly. We’re very research-oriented, patient-centred, and don’t take ourselves very seriously.

Second, we work together for YOU. Until Ana has her license and prescribing authority (she’s so close!!) she’ll call me in to fill in the gaps.

Blood work is super easy. We chat about what you might need and then get it done. I review it all and Ana delivers your plan.

If you’re seeing Dr.Mary virtually, both Ana and I can do any physical exams you may need, and I can do your vitamin B12 or vitamin D injections, or acupuncture.

When you see one of us, you’re getting all of us!

Hi! I’m Lindsay and I’m a Naturopathic Doctor. It’s been a bit of a crazy year… what started as a month off from social media turned into 6! Turns out two full time jobs is a lot of work.

It’s been a while since I’ve done an intro and a fair bit’s new around here.

First off, yep, I’m still here. Still helping with a lot of perimenopause, fertility, and hormonal concerns. Still helping with menopausal hormone therapy. Still doing cosmetic acupuncture. Still laughing with all of my patients.

The most exciting change is that I’m now working with Ana Hill .holistic.health to help get new patients in! Ana has been interning with me since January. She’s finished her schooling and is plugging away at her licensing exams. Once she’s done those, she’ll be staying on forever and ever.

What would you guys like to learn more about on here?
