Dr. Lisa Polinsky grew up in Victoria, attended the University of Victoria, and obtained her naturopathic medical degree from the National University of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon ‘99. She completed a postgraduate Naturopathic Medical Residency and practiced for three years in Oregon before returning to Canada in 2002. 

Dr. Polinsky treats: women’s health issues (menopause, peri-menopause, PMS, infertility, and perinatal care, PP depression); hormone imbalances (adrenal and thyroid issues); mental health (mild to moderate depression, insomnia, mood disorders, anxiety, stress); digestive imbalances (IBS, Crohn’s, leaky gut/malabsorption, anemia, food sensitivities); and autoimmune conditions (RA, thyroiditis, MS, fibromyalgia). She sees her role as coach and guide in helping others achieve a higher state of health. 

Dr. Polinsky has attended trainings with Dr. William Walsh of the Walsh Research Institute (and author of Nutrient Power). She is one of only a few doctors in Canada offering this approach. The Walsh Approach teaches that nutrient imbalances may be an underlying cause influencing ADD/ADHD and other mental health issues. Dr. Polinsky has access to the same specialized lab testing and nutrient protocols that Dr. Walsh has fine-tuned over his impressive career. Testing for Whole Blood Histamine, Kryptopyrrole, Plasma Zinc and Serum Copper levels is available through DHA labs.
