Calgary
Naturopathic Doctor
Michelle Hislop ND
I am a naturopathic doctor based in Calgary with a passion for helping women feel empowered, balanced, and supported through every stage of life. I have been lucky enough to have spent years surrounded by supportive communities of women, whether it be sports, academics or friends and family. I see the gaps in healthcare for women, and deeply want every woman to feel heard, cared for and truly understood.
​
I understand how frustrating it can feel when symptoms such as painful periods, irregular cycles, fertility struggles, fatigue, mood changes, weight fluctuations, or menopausal symptoms are dismissed, overlooked or deemed as "normal".
​
Your wildy painful periods are not just "normal".
​
The birth control pill isn't just going to "regulate" your missing cycle.
​
Your acne that's been resistant to Isotretinoin probably doesn't just need another round.
​
My goal is to provide compassionate, individualized care that helps uncover the root causes of your concerns while giving you the tools and education to confidently take charge of your health.
​
I believe that true wellness comes from sustainable, long-term changes rather than temporary symptom management alone. Whether you are preparing for pregnancy, navigating postpartum recovery, struggling with hormonal imbalances, or transitioning through perimenopause and menopause, I strive to create a supportive space where you can feel your best at every stage of womanhood.​​​​
How Can a Naturopath Help You?
Whether you’re struggling to address your insomnia (or other sleep disorders) , looking to conduct allergy testing to pinpoint your food sensitivities, or are simply looking to optimize your health in general, receiving natural medicine from a licensed naturopathic doctor can accomplish just that.
In Calgary, AB, there are plenty of naturopathic medicine professionals who can guide you through this process. However, my patients choose to work with me because of the premium I put on understanding them and their lifestyles as an individual, as well as a deep passion for empowerment through education.
I understand that when women in Calgary choose to pursue the help of a naturopathic doctor, they may have a lot of questions, that’s why I focus so heavily on having an open line of communication that helps us create sustainability in the protocols that are recommended.
