Dr. Lydia Kovacs, ND
Naturopathic Doctor
As a licensed naturopathic doctor, my goal is to help you bring wellness and balance to your life.A love for food led me to study nutrition. Food is so important as it affects our quality of life, brings joy and togetherness, and it influences health and disease. I wanted to find out more about what we can do naturally and in our everyday lives to achieve our optimal health.I discovered naturopathic medicine, and I was hooked! Naturopathic medicine is about listening to the body and mind to determine the true underlying cause of symptoms. It means taking apart each section and rebuilding, step-by-step, putting in new foundations, proper diet and routine, and using treatments such as acupuncture, botanical medicine, hydrotherapy and homeopathy to help the process along the way. This is a journey that I enjoy taking with my patients, working together to find a method that works best for them. My role in your health is that of support; together we will create a plan that will help regain balance and harmony back into your life, by addressing the root cause of your symptoms.
This has led me to dig deep into your symptoms in order to achieve results. In my training I have extensive background knowledge in nutrition. I am trained in facial rejuvenation acupuncture to aid in healthy aging and glowing skin. In addition I completed doula training for naturopathic doctors, and am passionate about empowering women before, during, and after pregnancy in my practice.
