Dr. Lauren MacIntosh
Naturopathic Doctor
"To Dr Macintosh, Wellness is the holistic balance of mental, emotional and physical health that constantly changes using our knowledge of nutrition, lifestyle and other modalities to adapt to our needs."
Dr. Lauren MacIntosh is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor. She graduated from Acadia University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2012 before moving on to the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine where she graduated in 2016 with a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine. Dr. MacIntosh truly enjoys how diverse and integrative her scope of practice is, allowing her to use evidence-based therapies with an individualized approach. She describes Naturopathic Medicine as integrative health care where everyone has a different story, and where she's able to focus not on symptoms but on the deeper systemic reasons they exist. She prides herself in being empathetic, and she loves to help guide each individual on their health and wellness journey.
Dr. MacIntosh takes intentional time to get to know her patients and listen to their stories. She encourages anyone new to Naturopathic Medicine to be unafraid of taking their first step with a visit to our Wellness Centre – which she describes as a profoundly accepting and supportive community – and ensures she cultivates a safe space free from judgement, where her focus is on gaining the insight to understand each person as a whole, meeting them where they're comfortable.
Dr. MacIntosh's primary areas of interest are fertility and other hormonal concerns, digestive health, stress and burnout. She has specialized training in Neural Prolotherapy, Ozone Therapy and Intravenous Nutrient Therapy. When she's not helping others find their path to personal health, she enjoys running, hiking, spending time with family or grabbing a latte and exploring home stores and farmers markets.
