Welcome back to the Advanced Women’s Health Podcast! In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Lauryn, one of our talented naturopathic doctors practicing both in Kingston and virtually across Ontario. We dive deep into what makes Dr. Lauryn tick, the unique insights she brings into her practice, and how she helps empower women through personalized, evidence-informed care. We talk about her journey into naturopathic medicine, the importance of understanding the whole story behind a patient’s symptoms, and how women can reclaim trust in their bodies. If you’ve ever wanted to know what makes Dr. Lauryn’s approach special—or if you’re simply looking to feel seen and understood in your healthcare journey—this is an episode you won’t want to miss!

1. Dr. Lauryn’s Journey into Naturopathic Medicine: We kick things off by exploring how Dr. Lauryn’s background in psychiatry opened her eyes to the world of naturopathic medicine. She shares the pivotal moment when a psychiatrist suggested she consider this field, sparking a path that led her to holistic, patient-centered care. We also chat about the importance of informed consent and how she ensures her patients feel supported every step of the way.

2. Connecting the Dots Between Health and Hormones: One of the most compelling parts of our discussion involves breaking down how hormonal health is connected to seemingly unrelated factors like inflammation, insulin, and the nervous system. Dr. Lauryn and I discuss the brain’s complex communication with the ovaries, what disrupts these signals, and why simply treating symptoms isn’t enough. We explain why understanding your body's “why” is essential and how we tailor treatments accordingly to empower you.

3. The Art of Listening to Your Body and Building Trust: In a world that often dismisses women’s health concerns, Dr. Lauryn emphasizes the power of listening to your body and taking your intuition seriously. We talk about how our clinic works to break down barriers between doctors and patients and why creating a warm, non-hierarchical environment is crucial for effective healing. This segment is a powerful reminder to trust yourself and to not settle when it comes to your well-being.
