Meet Dr. Jennifer Mackenzie, ND
Naturopathic Doctor at Foundations Naturopathic Health in New Westminster, BC
My Approach to Care
A whole-person, patient-centred approach is central to my practice. I aim to create a safe, supportive space where patients feel heard as they share their health stories. Understanding each person’s health history, needs, values and goals helps guide an individualized approach to care.
Areas of Focus
I have a particular interest in hormonal and metabolic health, mental health and gut health. I especially enjoy supporting those navigating perimenopause and menopause, as well as more complex conditions such as endometriosis and polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS).
Treatment Approach
When patients understand their health and feel supported, they are empowered to take charge of their care and make meaningful progress. Depending on the individual, care may include nutrition and lifestyle counselling, botanical medicine, acupuncture, supplementation, laboratory testing and pharmaceutical prescribing. I am also licensed in IV nutrient therapy and heavy metal chelation.
Education & Professional Background
My background in nutrition began with a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Guelph, where I contributed to a research study examining the effect of diet in patients with Type 2 diabetes. I later graduated from the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine.
Teaching & Professional Experience
In addition to clinical practice, I am an Associate Professor at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine – Boucher Campus, where I teach clinical medicine and clinical nutrition. This work reflects my interest in integrating evidence-based medicine with natural medicine approaches in both education and clinical practice.
Collaborative Care
Collaborative care is also an important part of my approach. Experience in an integrative clinical setting has reinforced the value of working alongside other healthcare practitioners and keeping the patient at the centre of their care.
Outside the Clinic
Outside of the clinic, I love getting outdoors with my partner and Staffy, experimenting with new recipes at home, and reading fiction with my book club. I also stay active through running, yoga, and weightlifting.
