About Lisa Maddalena
Hi! I’m Dr. Lisa Maddalena, and I’d love to help you shake that persistent, unnerving feeling that something is off.
The women I work with don’t always know what’s going on with their bodies, but they know they don’t feel great. They’re held hostage by mood swings, unpredictable periods, inexplicable weight gain, or random symptoms that affect their sleep, work, appetite and even their sense of wellbeing.
Nothing is as frustrating as relentless, undiagnosed discomfort. I spent decades trying to figure out my debilitating digestive issues. No combination of medications, dietary restrictions, weight management programs, poking, prodding and scopes could resolve my discomfort. It wasn’t until I attended an event and heard the keynote naturopath speak that I even realized there were new options I could explore to alleviate my pain.
My own healing journey inspired me to pursue a Masters in Nutritional Sciences to round out my medical science studies with special interest in clinical nutrition. Naturopathic Medicine was the perfect balance of medical science and natural healing that I was looking for.
Since then I’ve directed my focus, training and practice to address the sneaky symptoms of perimenopause, menopause and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). I’ve pursued extensive continuing education in hormone assessment and the use of Bioidentical Hormone replacement. Now I work closely with my patients to identify hormone imbalances and help them bring their bodies back into balance and harmony.
As part of your full wellness picture we’ll look at your hormonal health and digestive issues. We’ll personalize your treatment (always!), which may include individualized diets, vitamins and minerals, herbs, acupuncture, bioidentical hormones and/or IV therapy.
