About Lisa Lewis
Transforming Dis-Ease into De-Light™
I’ve never really fit into one box.
Maybe it’s because I’m a Gemini.
Maybe it’s because life kept asking more of me.
Or maybe it’s because I was always meant to live at the intersection of science, intuition, music, medicine, and spirit.
I was the straight-A student — but very unconventional.
The “nerdy” girl in physics class who also danced all night in nightclubs, completely losing herself in music.
The classically trained singer who performed in church, at the Apollo, in school productions, and with a group called “Mercedes and Mink” (yes, really).
Music was my first medicine.
Movement, rhythm, expression — they taught me how the body releases, heals, and remembers long before I ever studied physiology.
And yet, from the age of five, I knew one thing with absolute certainty:
I was going to be a doctor.
When Medicine Didn’t Feel Like Healing
My family doctor was my role model, and I followed the traditional path — pre-med studies, preparation for medical school, and eventually a long career inside the pharmaceutical industry. I worked with and consulted for some of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, including Parke-Davis/Warner Lambert, Hoffman-La Roche, Johnson & Johnson, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Merck.
I saw medicine from the inside.
And the more I saw, the more something felt… off.
Medications and surgery as first-line therapy never sat well in my body or my spirit. I knew they had a place — but not as the only answer. Not when people weren’t actually healing.
Still, I kept going. I worked hard. I achieved. I succeeded.
Until life intervened.
Stress Was Slowly Stealing My Health
I was 25 years old when my body first started whispering — then screaming — for my attention.
At the time, I thought it was temporary. After all, who could be stressed at 25?
But that year I had:
Earned an MBA while working full-time
Purchased my first home
Lived at a pace that had been my “normal” for over a decade
What I didn’t realize was that stress had become my baseline.
My symptoms piled up:
Severe hormonal imbalances
Digestive issues
Food sensitivities
Crushing fatigue
Doctor after doctor told me, “There’s nothing wrong.”
“This is just aging.”
But my quality of life was shrinking — and I knew that answer wasn’t true.
So I did what I’ve always done.
I went searching.
Choosing the Harder, Truer Path
I left my multi six-figure career.
Moved across the country.
And became a “poor medical student” — on purpose.
I enrolled at Bastyr University, where I earned:
A Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine
A Master’s in Acupuncture
A Certificate in Chinese Herbal Medicine
I chose to study Naturopathic Medicine and Acupuncture simultaneously, day and night, because I knew the body couldn’t be understood through one lens alone.
There is no separation for me now — Western medicine, Eastern medicine, intuition, science, and lived experience are woven together in how I practice.
And for the first time, I felt it.
I had found my purpose.
The Healer Who Had to Heal Herself
Ironically, the deeper I went into my work, the sicker I became.
Entrepreneurship. Responsibility. Leadership.
Stress layered on stress — and even though I was “doing everything right,” my health continued to decline.
Until my body forced me to stop.
I ended up hospitalized.
In surgery.
And eventually, I lost a kidney.
This was the turning point.
Lying in a hospital bed, my practice closed, my life stripped down to the essentials, I finally saw what I had been missing all along:
👉 Stress wasn’t a side issue. It was the root cause.
I had been living on adrenaline my entire life — overachieving, fixing, pushing, identifying as “the strong one.”
Healing didn’t begin until I learned how to slow down.
How to meditate.
How to listen.
How to say no.
That’s when everything changed.
The Birth of My Healing System
Out of my own breakdown came clarity.
I created a 5-Step Holistic Healing System, beginning with what I now know is the most important phase:
Investigate.
I became a true medical detective — deeply understanding my patients’ symptoms, stressors, lifestyle, habits, history, and emotional load. From there, we:
Eliminate what’s driving disease
Balance the body’s systems
Create sustainable lifestyle shifts
Build accountability and support
When stress is addressed directly, something remarkable happens.
Symptoms improve.
Chronic conditions soften — or disappear.
The body remembers how to heal.
The Truth I Now Stand On
Healing doesn’t come from me.
It comes from you.
I am the conduit — the guide — the translator of your body’s messages. My role is to give you the tools, the understanding, and the support to reclaim your power.
Because I know what it feels like:
To be dismissed
To feel broken when labs are “normal”
To navigate a system that doesn’t truly see you
I saved my own life by becoming my own health advocate.
Now I help women do the same.
My Mission
I’m Dr. Lisa Lewis — a Rapid Recovery Expert, licensed and board-certified Naturopathic Physician, Acupuncturist, Healthy Living Mentor, author, speaker, and founder of the Lewis Healing Institute and NatureDrs Nutritionals.
I’m also part of the 1% — not the kind you’re thinking of.
I survived a surgical error that occurs in only 1% of surgeries and recovered rapidly because of my natural medicine expertise. That experience solidified my calling.
My mission is to make holistic medicine mainstream, accessible, and empowering.
Because good health is your birthright.
Because vitality should be the norm — not the exception.
Because when women are healthy, they step fully into their purpose.
Who I Serve
I help high-achieving, professional women whose careers and chronic stress have contributed to:
Hormonal imbalance
Fatigue and burnout
Weight gain / Body changes
Chronic symptoms with “normal” labs
Together, we transform Dis-Ease into De-Light™.

You don’t have to do this alone — and you don’t have to start at the top.
And Yes… I’ve Walked the Weight Loss Road Too
In my late 40s and early 50s, after surgical menopause, stress, and injury, I gained over 50 pounds.
As a doctor, it was humbling.
As a woman, it was painful.
As a public figure, it was terrifying.
But once again, the answer wasn’t willpower — it was root cause.
By addressing stress, hormones, mindset, meals, and movement, I lost the weight, reclaimed my energy, and rebuilt trust in my body.
That journey led to the creation of:
Weight Loss for Wellness 21-Day Challenge
Menopause Metabolic Reset
