Dr. Amanda Capasso

 

I’m Dr. Amanda Capasso, a Naturopathic Doctor in Mississauga with a special focus in women’s health. I support women through all stages of their reproductive and hormonal health, including period concerns and PMS, pregnancy and postpartum, perimenopause and menopause, as well as metabolic health.

I see patients in person at The Root Natural Health Clinic in Port Credit, Mississauga, as well as virtually across Ontario.

Evidence-Informed, Personalized Naturopathic Care

Over the last 9 years, my approach to naturopathic medicine has been rooted in education, evidence-informed care and individualized treatment.

Depending on your health concerns, goals and preferences, your care may include nutrition and lifestyle strategies, targeted supplementation, laboratory testing, hormone therapy or other evidence-informed treatment options.

My goal is not to follow a particular “natural” protocol or take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we’ll thoughtfully consider the options available and determine what makes the most sense for you.

When appropriate, I also work alongside your family doctor, specialists and other healthcare providers so that your care is collaborative and comprehensive.

Most importantly, I want you to leave your appointments feeling heard, informed and clear about what comes next.

Women’s Health, Perimenopause, Menopause & Metabolic Health

I have a particular clinical focus on perimenopause, menopause, and the hormonal and metabolic changes that accompany this transition. My approach is individualized and evidence-informed, helping women understand what is changing and make informed decisions about their care.

Care may include nutrition and lifestyle strategies, targeted supplementation, laboratory testing, and—when appropriate—menopausal hormone therapy (MHT). As an Ontario Naturopathic Doctor with prescribing authority, I incorporate prescription options within my scope of practice, including MHT when clinically appropriate.

My other areas of clinical focus include:

• Period concerns, PMS, PMOS (formerly PCOS)
• Pregnancy and postpartum health
• Sleep, stress and mood changes
• Metabolic health, including blood sugar, cholesterol and sustainable weight management

What to Expect at Your Naturopathic Appointment

Your initial appointment is about getting the full picture.

Rather than jumping straight into a long list of recommendations, we’ll take the time to understand your health history, your current concerns and what is happening in your life right now.

We’ll discuss your symptoms and goals as well as relevant aspects of your menstrual and reproductive history, nutrition, sleep, stress, movement, medications and supplements, and previous bloodwork or testing.

From there, we’ll identify the most important priorities and begin with a foundational treatment plan: a few practical changes you can start implementing right away, along with any updated testing that may be helpful.

We’ll reconnect approximately 2–3 weeks later to review how you’re feeling, what you’ve noticed and how realistic the initial recommendations have been in your day-to-day life.

At your follow-up, we’ll build on this foundation with a more comprehensive, individualized treatment plan and review any additional bloodwork or testing that was completed.

The goal is personalized and intentional care, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

About Dr. Amanda Capasso, ND

I received my Doctor of Naturopathy from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) in Toronto after completing my Bachelor of Science at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

I am a licensed and Ontario board-certified Naturopathic Doctor through the College of Naturopaths of Ontario (CONO) and have met the additional prescribing standards required to prescribe within the naturopathic scope of practice in Ontario.

I was born and raised in the area and have always had a strong connection to Port Credit and the surrounding Mississauga community. I’m grateful to provide naturopathic care to women in this incredible community.
