She works with people to identify and treat the root cause of their health concerns rather than sticking bandaids on symptoms (which sometimes is necessary while we get to that root…). Her main methods of treatment include nutrition, herbal medicine, supplements, and acupuncture. She loves educating her patients on their health, blood work, supplements, or anything else health-related that’s important to them. Dr. Lindsay is also trained in Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture which can help with lines, wrinkles, and overall skin tone. She likes coffee, physiology, running, and tacos.
