Who I Am:
Dr. Heidi Lescanec, Naturopathic Physician Bio
I obtained my naturopathic medical degree in 2002 from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon. Upon graduating from this full-time 4 year post-graduate program , I moved back to the interior where I had a beautiful piece of land in the Columbia Valley. Alongside establishing my own Naturopathic practice in Golden and Invermere, I co- built a cob home, lived off the grid and converted an old house into a commercial building, clinic and yoga studio before relocating to the coast. I currently practice naturopathic medicine - with a focus on culinary nutrition - at the Sage Clinic in Yaletown.
Nourish Health - Culinary Medicine
Creating nutritious, nourishing and beautiful food is my great passion.
Through both my clinical work and my own personal life, I have gained a deep awareness of the fundamental role diet and nutrition play in health. I have been passionate about cooking healthy food since I was an adolescent. During university, I had the good fortune to work as a chef, to make my own daily passion into a career that has sustained me through all my studies and adventures over the years. I have cooked for backcountry lodges, retreat centers, adventure trips, the movie industry and with the Hollyhock Foundation on the incomparable Cortes Island.
