Dr. Lisa Tabrizi ND I am a naturopathic doctor passionate on helping people achieve optimal health and well being using

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.

This burrito bowl was so good that I was already looking forward to the leftovers before I had finished dinner. 😆

Fresh, colourful, packed with protein, and loaded with flavour.

Healthy eating doesn't have to be boring.

Save this recipe for later and let me know if you make it! 🌯✨

P.s. I am not a huge fan of like and cilantro, but this was amazing. I reduced the lime quantities by about a half of the original recipe in the various steps.

Enjoy!

High-protein snacks for women in perimenopause and midlife: easy energy balls that actually keep you full 👇

One of the biggest things I see in practice? Women unintentionally under-eating protein earlier in the day… then dealing with cravings, low energy, and “snacky” evenings later on.

These protein energy balls are one of my favourite quick options because they combine:
✔ protein
✔ healthy fats
✔ fibre
✔ texture + satisfaction

They’re simple to prep, easy to freeze, and great for busy workdays, workouts, or afternoon energy dips.

A few things I added to mine:
• extra peanut butter (because delicious)
• walnuts for crunch + healthy fats
• chia + flax for fibre
• dark chocolate chips because balance matters 🙂

For many women, small nutritional shifts done consistently can make a meaningful difference in:
• blood sugar regulation
• satiety
• muscle support
• metabolism
• cravings
• overall energy

Save this recipe for your next meal prep day.

Midlife weight gain in women: are modern conveniences slowing your metabolism? | Burlington naturopathic perspective ⬇️

Women in their 40s and 50s often tell me:
"I’m eating similarly, but gaining weight."

Hormones matter.

But so does this:

We’ve removed movement from daily life.

*Escalators
*Drive-thrus
*Grocery delivery
*Remote controls
*Robot vacuums
*Bluetooth & Smart phone command centres

Tiny movements disappeared.

And together?

They may add up to 200–500+ calories/day that we no longer burn.

This is called NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis): calories burned outside workouts.
Your metabolism isn’t only influenced by hormones.
It’s also influenced by how much your body moves throughout the day.

Bottom line: Midlife metabolism support isn’t only about exercising harder. Sometimes it starts with moving more.

Stress relief and nervous system support for women in Burlington: why smelling your garden after the rain may be good for your health 🌿

I came back from a little jog today and stopped to literally smell my garden.

Blooms. Spruce. Peppermint. Bee balm. Lavender. Basil. Thyme. Lilacs.

After the rain, the scents felt almost intoxicating in the best possible way.

It reminded me of taking my grandma into the garden at her nursing home. One of the things she delighted in most was slowly smelling the different flowers and plants. Even when many things had changed, those sensory experiences still seemed to bring her joy.

Here’s something fascinating:

Your sense of smell connects directly to parts of the brain involved in memory, emotion, and stress regulation.

Natural scents may help promote feelings of calm, evoke positive memories, and encourage the nervous system to shift out of constant “go mode.”

Many of us spend our days indoors, overstimulated, under fluorescent lights, moving from screen to screen.

Sometimes nervous system support looks less like adding more and more like reconnecting with what has always been available.

🌿 Step outside after the rain
🌿 Crush rosemary between your fingers
🌿 Smell the basil
🌿 Notice the earth
🌿 Pause at lilacs
🌿 Take one slow breath

One simple takeaway: sensory experiences in nature can be a surprisingly powerful way to support stress resilience and bring us back into the present moment.

As a naturopathic doctor in Burlington, I often talk with women navigating stress, burnout, hormone shifts, sleep issues, and feeling constantly “on.” Supporting wellbeing isn’t always complicated. Sometimes it starts with slowing down enough to notice.

What scent instantly brings back a memory for you? 🌸

Perimenopause and menopause support for women in Burlington: common questions answered ✨️

If you’ve been dealing with hot flashes, poor sleep, mood changes, stubborn weight gain, anxiety, irregular cycles, or simply not feeling like yourself, you’re not alone. Many women wonder what’s “normal” during this stage, and when it’s time to seek support.👩‍⚕️

One thing to know: perimenopause can begin years before menopause, and symptoms often show up long before periods stop completely. Hormones, sleep, stress, nutrition, muscle mass, and blood sugar can all play a role.🫩

In my practice, I take a comprehensive approach to menopause and perimenopause support, looking at symptoms, health history, lifestyle, and lab work (when appropriate) to build a personalized plan that fits your life.

Swipe through for answers to some of the most common questions I hear in practice.

Save this for later or send it to a woman who’s wondering if what she’s experiencing could be hormonal. 🙋‍♀️

Day 7 of 7: Try something new 🌿✨

For our final day of the Nervous System Reset, I want to encourage you to do something novel this weekend.

One of the best ways to regulate our nervous system is to step out of autopilot. So many of us live in routines, responsibilities, and repetitive thoughts. Trying something new pulls us into the present moment and invites curiosity back in.

Novel doesn’t have to mean extreme.

Maybe it’s:
• Visiting a different coffee shop ☕
• Walking in a new park 🌳
• Shopping at a new grocery store 🛒
• Trying a hobby you’ve never considered 🎨
• Taking a different route home 🚦
• Exploring a new place in your city 🏛

I recently wandered through a pet store looking at tropical fish, birds, and reptiles while Ryan explored ideas for our backyard pond. It struck me how many hobbies, interests, and little worlds exist outside our usual routines. I also revisited a park I hadn’t been to in years after work, and those simple moments felt unexpectedly nourishing.

Novelty wakes up the brain, sparks curiosity, and can gently shift us out of stress patterns.

Thank you for joining me for these 7 days of resetting your nervous system. I hope you found moments of calm, rest, movement, nature, and softness along the way.

Have a wonderful weekend. 🤍

Simply Healthy, Simply Strong💪

✨ Day 6 of 7: Embrace the Night ✨

Tonight’s nervous system reset is simple: slow down and welcome the darkness. 🌙

Take a short evening walk beneath the sky, stretch on your deck, foam roll tired muscles, or simply sit quietly outdoors. As the sun fades, our bodies are meant to shift toward rest, repair, and the parasympathetic (“rest & digest”) state.

We live surrounded by artificial light, notifications, and stimulation. Giving yourself even 10–15 minutes of darkness and stillness can be a gentle reminder to your body that it is safe to soften.

Tonight, invite in:
✨ Stillness
✨ Quiet
✨ Slower breathing
✨ A softer pace

Your nervous system doesn’t always need more effort. Sometimes it needs less.

✨ Day 5: Restoring Your Nervous System ✨

Today’s challenge: gentle, repetitive movement.

Think: walking, swimming, cycling, or any activity with a rhythmic, repetitive nature. These steady movements can help signal safety to the nervous system, encouraging the body to shift out of stress mode and into a calmer state.

Movement doesn’t always need to be intense to be beneficial. Gentle cardio helps increase circulation, support energy, improve mood, and often leaves us feeling more grounded and settled.

Today, skip the pressure to push harder. Instead, move in a way that feels nourishing.

🚶🏻‍♀️ Walk.
🏊 Swim.
🚲 Cycle.
🌿 Breathe.

Your body often knows how to regulate… sometimes it simply needs the space and rhythm to do so.

Day 4: Nervous System Reset 🌿

Today’s challenge is simple: rest + nurture yourself.

It’s the long weekend Monday, and I’ve been trying to stay off social media too, giving my own nervous system a little space to recoup. But I wanted to pop on in case you were looking for your Day 4 guidance. 💛

I hope today included a little softness…
✨ a longer shower
✨ moisturizer or aloe after time in the sun
✨ gentle stretching to ease a tight back or hips
✨ an afternoon nap
✨ slower moments without rushing to the next thing
✨ simply caring for yourself the way you would someone you love

Rest isn’t laziness.
Recovery isn’t wasted time.
Your nervous system needs moments of safety, quiet, and care to function well.

Today, permission granted: slow down.
How did you nurture yourself today? 🌸
