Meet Dr. Lisa Weeks
Dr. Lisa Weeks, HBSc., ND, is a Toronto-based Naturopathic Doctor with over 18 years of clinical experience helping women navigate perimenopause, menopause, and healthy aging with confidence.
She is passionate about helping women understand what is happening in their bodies and creating personalized, evidence-informed treatment plans that improve how they feel today while supporting their long-term health.
Dr. Weeks combines the best of naturopathic medicine with modern medical research, integrating body-identical hormone therapy, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, herbal medicine, targeted supplementation, laboratory testing, acupuncture, and nervous system support. Her approach is practical, personalized, and rooted in education, empowering women to make informed decisions rather than simply handing them another list of supplements.
Helping Women Feel Like Themselves Again
Many of Dr. Weeks’ patients come to her feeling exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, or simply “not like themselves.”
Whether they’re struggling with changing hormones, disrupted sleep, brain fog, digestive concerns, weight changes, or burnout, her goal is to uncover the root causes and develop realistic strategies that fit into busy lives.
She believes women deserve to understand their health, not just manage symptoms.

- Perimenopause & menopause
- Body-identical hormone therapy

A Foundation in Science and Real Life
Dr. Weeks graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (in 2007) after completing an Honours Bachelor of Science (Co-op) in Biology at the University of Waterloo.
Before entering clinical practice, she worked in research laboratories across North America studying atherosclerosis, cancer, cystic fibrosis, and cardiovascular disease. That research background continues to shape her evidence-informed approach to patient care.
In 2015, she met Ontario’s prescribing standards for Naturopathic Doctors, allowing her to prescribe body-identical hormones and an alternative prescription drug for hypothyroidism, when appropriate. She continues to pursue advanced education in menopause medicine and recently completed The Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) examination.
Beyond the Clinic
Dr. Weeks is also a Certified Digital Wellness Educator and one of the few healthcare professionals integrating the science of attention, technology, stress, and nervous system regulation into women’s midlife health.
She previously served as the on-site Naturopathic Doctor at TELUS for more than seven years, delivering employee wellness programs and educational seminars. She was also a Consulting Medical Advisor to one of the largest North American distributors of natural health products where she educated and trained other practitioners. Today she is a sought-after speaker for Greenshield, organizations, workplaces, and community groups on topics including menopause, burnout, sleep, digital wellness, gut health, and healthy aging.
She also co-hosted the Perimenopausal Mamas Podcast, producing 271 episodes, over 5 years, that reached listeners in more than 120 countries, helping thousands of women better understand hormones, sleep, anxiety, and midlife health.
Recognition
Dr. Weeks has been recognized with multiple Toronto Star Readers’ Choice Awards, including three Diamond Awards for Best Naturopathic Services (2022–2024) and the Platinum Award in 2025.
When She’s Not Working…
You’ll usually find Dr. Weeks out on a forest trail, walking or kayaking at sunrise, spending time in a sauna or cold plunge tub, experimenting with healthy recipes, practising dance or the ukulele, or spending time with her family. She believes that some of the most powerful medicine isn’t found in a bottle; it’s found in meaningful relationships, time in nature, movement, restorative sleep, and the small daily habits that help us thrive.
