Dr. Katarina Meister, ND

As a Naturopathic Doctor (ND), my clinical practice focuses on chronic conditions such as hormone imbalances, gastrointestinal conditions, weight loss resistance, hypothyroidism, acne, female hair loss, chronic fatigue, and autoimmune disorders. I manage each patient with an individualized, evidenced-based, and holistic approach that may include lifestyle changes, functional lab analyses, botanical medicine, homeopathic medicine, and nutritional therapies.

As a Naturopathic Doctor, my clinical focus is on women’s hormones, gut health, and skin-related concerns. Including acne, thyroid conditions, PCOS, post birth control support, fertility and pregnancy support, perimenopause, and menopause. I also treat digestive concerns such as bloating, food sensitivities, IBS, SIBO, GERD, celiac disease, and IBD.

I help patients reconnect with their health by identifying and addressing the root causes of symptoms in order to support the body’s natural ability to heal, improve stress resilience, and restore energy and wellbeing. I believe healthcare works best as a collaborative process and prioritize patient education so individuals feel informed, confident, and actively involved in their care.

My approach is individualized, evidence-based, and holistic, and may include lifestyle and nutrition guidance, functional lab testing (including DUTCH hormone testing, Stool testing, food sensitivity testing, SIBO testing), botanical and homeopathic medicine, and targeted nutritional therapies. I provide natural health and wellness consultations for both teens and adults.

As a licensed Naturopathic Doctor (ND) I graduated with high remarks from Bastyr University California, a four-year post-graduate nationally accredited naturopathic medicine program. My clinical experience at Bastyr University included providing naturopathic primary patient care as well as working alongside MD’s at an integrative Urgent Care & Internal Medicine clinic. In both of these settings, I have seen first-hand how naturopathic medicine plays a major role in providing safe, reliable, and cost-effective primary care medicine alongside the conventional model. Outside of my curriculum I completed several certifications including Craniosacral therapy, Kinesio Taping, Biofeedback, and Microcurrent Neurofeedback.

I am dedicated to educating various audiences including the wider medical community and the public about naturopathic medicine. I have active professional memberships with the Wisconsin Naturopathic Doctors Association, and the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. Additionally, I am eager to obtain naturopathic state licensure across the midwest area specifically in the state of Wisconsin, as I am originally from the Chicago suburbs and spent most of my summers boating in Wisconsin. In my free time I enjoy being active outdoors with my black lab, Maverick, cooking new healthy recipes, spending quality time with close family and friends, and traveling.

Kind Words from Patients

I had an incredible experience at Lakeside Natural Medicine and can’t recommend them enough. After struggling with hormonal issues for quite some time, I finally feel like I’ve found real answers and lasting relief thanks to Dr. Meister. My concerns were thoroughly discussed and Dr. Meister went the extra mile in explaining potential causes and solutions. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, they created a tailored plan that addressed the root cause of my imbalances. If you’re dealing with hormonal issues and want a more holistic, thoughtful approach, Lakeside Natural Medicine is absolutely worth it.

I am so grateful for the care that myself and my teen daughters have gotten from Dr Meister, and Dr Prentice. Dr Meister was able to accurately get to the heart of a few issues my daughter was having, PCOS and different food sensitivities when her primary care could not figure out what was going on. She has been supportive, and educational through the whole process and has taught us so much. I feel like we can as a family mark time as before seeing her and after-we have all changed so much in a positive way. My daughter is going into healthcare and I know that she will bring these more expanded views into her practice of looking for why is this happening vs just taking care of the symptoms. I am grateful to have her on our team.

I was diagnosed with IBS in July of 2022, and I struggled with my diet, always feeling bloated and sick to my stomach. My primary care physician prescribed a drug for my symptoms, and after taking this medication for six months I found no improvement in my condition. I found out about Lakeside Natural Medicine from a family member, and I saw my first Naturopathic Doctor- Katarina Meister, and it changed everything. Dr. Meister helped me with my diet and recommended certain supplements to regulate, and actually work at healing my intestines so that I could successfully stop the prescription I was taking. I am so grateful for Dr. Meister’s help!! I think she’s great, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is suffering from IBS and wants to find healing without prescription medications.

I came to Dr. Meister after over a year of struggling through symptoms of PCOS, mood issues, losing my period and ovulation, hormonal acne, and inability to lose weight. I had been turned away by my PCP, endocrinologist, and failed at trying to navigate my own treatment via “hormonal specialists” on the internet. In one conversation, she made me feel heard and validated everything I was going through with no surprise. She quickly went to work helping me and I am now on the other side of this hormonal healing journey. There’s still work ahead, but I am a whole new person now. They healed my acne, helped me lose weight, balanced my hormones, restored my cycle and chance of having children someday, and so much more! Doing phone call appointments and having supplements shipped to my home has taken all of the stress off of taking care of my health and having one less appointment to run around to. I’m so thankful for Lakeside for listening to me and healing the WHOLE me from the inside out rather than just putting bandaids on my symptoms. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
