About Ananya Sharma, ND
“Your grandmother knew things that the research is only now catching up to. My job is to honour that knowledge and work with it, not against it.”
Ananya Sharma is a naturopathic doctor with a practice focused on South Asian women’s health — integrating clinical naturopathic medicine with an understanding of the cultural, dietary, and lifestyle factors that shape how South Asian women experience health and illness in Canada.
Her work bridges two worlds: the Tamil Ayurvedic traditions she grew up with in her grandmother’s kitchen and the evidence-based naturopathic medicine she practised for a decade.
How my background shapes my work
I grew up watching my grandmother treat everything with food, herbs, and movement. I went to naturopathic school and discovered that much of what she knew had names in the research literature. My practice lives in that intersection.

How the recommendation loop works
