Dr. Lindsay Adrian has an undergraduate degree in chemistry and graduated from the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic medicine. After graduation she completed a 1-year general residency followed by many additional years of training in integrative cancer care.

Dr. Adrian believes in life long learning and strives to stay current with research and treatment options available- using both natural and conventional treatments. She is often heard saying, “we want to use all of the most appropriate treatments available!” and frequently attends conferences and seminars all over the world in this pursuit. This commitment to learning extends to teaching as well. Dr. Adrian is a guest lecturer at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine and commonly hosts student preceptors.
Every person is unique and rarely do they come with textbook presentation of illness- Dr. Adrian strives to provide an individualized treatment protocol that will support whole person healing. Areas of focus include cancer and chronic disease, as well as chronic infections- all areas in which inflammation and the immune system have major roles.
When not in the clinic or doing continuing education Dr. Adrian maintains balance by spending time with her husband and 3 kids, rowing on the Fraser river, and playing soccer.
