Dr. Lei Gu BSc. ND MSCP.
Naturopathic Doctor
With over 16 years of experience in naturopathic medicine, I am dedicated to women's health, particularly in the areas of peri-menopause support and cancer patient care. After earning my degree from the University of Toronto and spending a year in the pharmaceutical industry, I pursued my true calling by graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine.
My passion for women's health is deeply rooted in the critical lessons learned from a decade of working with cancer patients. I have seen firsthand how disease prevention can significantly improve the healing process, quality of life, and survival rates of cancer patients without comorbidities. Additionally, I have witnessed many women prioritizing their loved ones and careers over their own well-being, even while managing serious health issues, including cancer.
I wanted to be able to better support women in their health, so I obtained my MSCP (Menopause Society Certified Practitioner) certification from The Menopause Society. My practice is now dedicated to supporting women during the perimenopause stage—a crucial period where optimal support can drastically reduce the risks of various health issues.
I also continue to offer comprehensive care to cancer patients, emphasizing the importance of an integrative approach that combines conventional and naturopathic methods to achieve the best possible outcomes. Many of my cancer patients have expressed a lack of supportive care after completing active treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. They often feel lost and unsure of how to manage lingering side effects, prevent recurrence, and navigate long-term surveillance. Naturopathic medicine excels in these areas, providing essential support for post-cancer treatment recovery and recurrence prevention.
If you have any questions about perimenopause or cancer support, I invite you to book a discovery call. I look forward to helping you achieve optimal health and well-being.
