Dr. Kristen Timusk, ND

Dr. Timusk has particular clinical interests in women’s and hormonal health (including PMS, PCOS, menopause + perimenopause support, thyroid health), natural fertility support, perinatal health & pregnancy support, lactation education + support, autoimmune conditions, and digestive health.

She obtained her Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree from the National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, Illinois. Prior to earning her ND degree, she obtained a Bachelor of Science degree from Iowa Wesleyan College in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, with a double major in Life Sciences + Biology, and a minor in Chemistry. Following her undergraduate studies, she earned a Master of Science degree in Cellular + Molecular Medicine from the University of Ottawa in Ottawa, Ontario. Throughout her time spent in Ottawa pursuing her M.Sc., she had the incredible honour of completing her thesis research under Dr. Robert Korneluk at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute.

Dr. Timusk is passionate about continuing education and is always striving to grow her skillset and knowledge base in order to best serve her community and improve patient outcomes. She has received additional training in cosmetic acupuncture and is currently pursuing a lactation education program with hopes of being able to empathetically guide and support parents throughout their breast/chestfeeding journeys. She knows from experience how challenging and delicate this experience can be, and aims to provide an unwavering support system to both new and experienced parents alike.

With a lifelong and deeply rooted passion for both the sciences and medicine, Dr. Timusk feels that it is a true honour to be able to provide naturally-focused, evidence-based healthcare to all of those who may be in need. She is immensely proud to be able to serve her beautiful hometown of Sault Ste. Marie, ON where she was richly nurtured to grow and thrive throughout her childhood and adolescence and has now returned to raise her own little family.

Outside of clinical practice, Dr. Timusk lives to spend time with her husband, their daughter, and their 2 beloved pups (along with the rest of her very much loved family members + friends!). When time allows, a few additional passions of hers include photography, getting her hands and feet dirty in the garden, diving into a great book, experimenting in the kitchen, and days spent at the lake (bonus points if Lake Superior) - nothing beats a good day spent at the lake.

Dr. Timusk is looking so forward to working alongside you and being a collaborative part of your healthcare team to address all of your health concerns and help you achieve optimal wellness.
