Dr. Lauren Gresham’s Practice
Are you ready for your healing transformation?
Totally Lovable Naturopathic celebrates you! The colorful, vibrant, unique, diverse you! You are not a set of lab values or an algorithm and too often, patients are treated as such. Furthermore, much of society has lied to us in order to sell us products. Many of us have been given messages of inadequacy, when in fact, nature thrives on diversity! Nature is literally stronger and more resilient with greater biodiversity. We want to work with you to come home to yourself, to find your daily routines that reflect self-care and to help you transform your health and . . . your life.
Specialties
Our specialties include: transgender and gender-affirmative care, hormone replacement therapy for all genders, pelvic pain conditions, sexual dysfunction, menopause, erectile dysfunction, chronic prostatitis/interstitial cystitis and intuitive eating & a weight neutral approach to wellness. Populations that I love to serve include LGBTQ+ patients, the wellness needs of kink and polyamorous friendly families, people with larger bodies that are sick of being judged by their doctor, people that want to make peace with their bodies and anyone else that identifies as a weirdo, odd ball, black sheep, burner or unique individual.
About me . . .
I am a Naturopathic Physician, as well as a Certified Community Health Education Specialist.
I have been a sex geek for as long as I can remember. I think touch and pleasure are critically important and often overlooked areas of our health and vitality. I have always been that friend where people felt comfortable sharing about their sex lives, so it was a natural extension for me to offer this professionally. Many providers get little to no training in sex medicine, so people live their lives without solutions to why sex isn’t working well for them. Some of the conditions I treat include: menopause and andropausal symptoms, chronic pelvic pain, interstitial cystitis/chronic prostatitis, erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s disease and dermatological condition of the vulva. I primarily work with members of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as kinky, polyamorous, queer and other sexual minority populations.
My philosophy of medicine puts me in a unique crossroads between conventional medicine and all that holistic hippy stuff! Too often, I have seen medical doctors deliver sloppy medicine in their 7 minute appointment times, a time frame that pretty much only allows drug prescribing and is at high-risk for errors. Likewise, I have been nauseated by seeing patients leave their naturopath’s office with thousands of dollars worth of supplements with questionable efficacy. And on both sides, I have seen patients blamed and shamed and had their diagnoses taken out of context of society at large. Inequalities, discrimination and the determinants of health cannot be ignored when developing each individual’s treatment plan. I use the best of conventional medical science, integrate natural modalities whenever justified and practice informed consent if my recommendations venture into experimental territory. My treatment plans are incremental, reasonable, tailored to you, compassionate and often times, fun!
In addition to being a physician and a health educator, I am an eight-time participant of Burning Man, an ecstatic dancer and a devoted spouse. I identify as a queer, kinky woman who is the proud parent of two young children, both of whom are being raised in a gender-neutral fashion (until they tell us otherwise, of course!). When I am not with patients, I am often found playing in the woods.
My pronouns are either she/her or they/them.

Payment is due at the time of service.
Superbills are offered to all patients. The patient may submit the superbill to their insurance for “out-of-network” provider reimbursement. It is up the patient to verify insurance benefits.
Discounts available for BIPOC and patients with Medicaid or VA insurance.
Medications, Labs and Procedures
Labs get drawn at any LabCorp location. Medications are ordered to the patient’s preferred pharmacy. The patient’s pharmacy and LabCorp are almost always “in-network” with the patient’s insurance, so fees for these services are the same as with any other provider. Please note: be sure your pharmacy and LabCorp have your insurance information.
Compounded medications, such as bio-identical creams or hormone pellets, are not covered by insurance.
Some in-office procedures incur fees, such as urine analysis, pessary fittings and hormone pellet insertion.
