Lisa Tostado ND

Dr. Lisa Tostado is a 2008 graduate of Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (SCNM). She is board certified as a naturopathic physician and maintains medical licensure in the state of Arizona. A native to Southern California, Dr. Tostado is excited to be jump-starting her career in Louisville, KY, where there is a growing demand for alternative medicine and a need for more naturopathic doctors.

While at SCNM, Dr. Tostado helped founded a student based community organization called Naturopaths without Borders (NWB). The mission of the organization is to bridge the gap between naturopathic medicine and the underserved populations. Currently it is one of the most successful on-campus organizations. Following in her commitment to reach out to those underserved, Dr. Tostado voluntarily translated at several free clinics serving the Spanish speaking community during her clinical training. This proved to be very rewarding because she always wanted naturopathic medicine to become infiltrated into those communities that may otherwise not have access to it due to language, cultural or socioeconomic barriers. Dr. Tostado believes that everyone should have the same opportunity to optimal health and vitality, and equal access to more natural, less invasive medicine. She feels that while mainstream medicine serves as a valuable tool in our health care system, alternative medicine is as equally vital because it allows the individual to completely transform their health simply and naturally.

Dr. Lisa Tostado practices general Naturopathic medicine using a number of tools to help people on their road to health. These tools include: whole foods based nutrition, homeopathy, botanical medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, hydrotherapy, lifestyle counseling and natural weight loss protocols. Dr. Tostado firmly believes that there are many components to health including mind, body and spirit. She believes all of these must be addressed in order to help someone heal themselves as a whole person. Furthermore, she believes that preventative medicine is the best medicine and has a strong desire to educate others so that they feel more empowered to take charge of their own health, naturally.
