I am Dr. Lauren Wedlock Brown, a registered Naturopathic Doctor in Ontario, as well as the owner and founder of The Root Natural Health Clinic in Mississauga. Our collaborative team has created an environment both in-clinic and ‘virtually’ where patients feel heard and cared for. My intention in my practice is to ‘make room’ – for all the information, for understanding and compassion, and for your healing to occur. I’m looking for the underlying causes of dysfunction in the body, the way we think, and how we conduct ourselves in our lifestyles. This allows those I work with to not only feel better, but to heal and thrive in an empowered way.
Dr. Lauren graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (Toronto) after obtaining an Honours Bachelor Degree in Biology and Psychology from the University of Guelph. She is a registered Naturopathic Doctor in good standing with The College of Naturopaths Ontario.

When we understand this, we can define our goals, prioritize them, and work toward them with trust and confidence while letting any extraneous pressure go.
(In)Fertility: When Should You Seek Help?
The best time to support fertility is before you start trying to conceive. A good rule of thumb is about 3-4 months beforehand – this is because it takes about 90-100 days for immature follicles to develop and for sperm to have a full life cycle. Generally speaking, the better the health of the sperm and eggs, the more likely a pregnancy will happen. Three months also gives a chance to take a look at any other contributing health factors and safely manage them before having to worry about certain product safety in the fertility stage. Some health factors that you’d want to ideally manage before trying to conceive include:
