Lauren Feder, M.D. was a nationally recognized physician who specializes in primary care medicine, pediatrics and homeopathy.  Known for her holistically minded approach and combining the ‘best of both worlds,’ Dr. Feder was a frequent lecturer for parents and professionals and has been seen nationally on various health-oriented television and radio programs including The Doctors, Oprah and Friends interviewed by Dr. Oz.   She is the author of Natural Baby and Childcare, The Parents’ Concise Guide to Childhood Vaccinations, and upcoming Natural Pregnancy (due June 2014).   Dr. Lauren was the founder of the Center for Natural Family Medicine in Los Angeles. 

Lauren was raised by her parents, Ellie Davis a devoted stay-at-home mother and Dr. Robert J. Feder a renowned ear, nose and throat surgeon and voice specialist.  During her teen years she underwent two thyroid surgeries and was placed on daily medicine.  While doing her residency in Los Angeles a decade later, Lauren consulted with  a holistic practitioner and was able to discontinue her thyroid medication altogether. The results astounded her, and led her on a path of discovery in the field of holistic healing and homeopathy for herself and her patients.   Lauren is married to chiropractor, Dr. René Haarpaintner. They have two sons who were born at home with midwives.
