About
Hi I’m Dr. Anne-Marie Lacroix
MSc, ND
With a Master of Science and a deep commitment to getting to the root of complex health concerns, I bring a research-based lens to naturopathic medicine. During my early academic training, I had the opportunity to work in a research laboratory focused on the human microbiome, exploring how the trillions of microbes living within us shape everything from mental health to metabolic and inflammatory conditions.
My summer projects at institutions such as the MaRS Discovery District and SickKids Hospital in Toronto have also given me a strong foundation in evidence-based medicine. Today, these experiences inform my clinical approach and help me to develop personalized, holistic treatment plans.
My interest in getting to the root cause of disease and a holistic approach to solving health problems led me to pursue a career as a Naturopathic Doctor after my Master of Science.
During this earlier stage of my education, I had the opportunity to carry out research in a laboratory that studies the human microbiome – all the microorganisms living on and in us that influence everything from our moods to a host of other conditions such as obesity and diabetes to inflammatory bowel disease.
My research background including work during my master’s and summer projects at the MaRS Center and SickKids Hospital in Toronto on a variety of health issues, influences my practice today by helping me develop evidence-based naturopathic treatment plans that are individualized.
