Alter Functional Medicine in San Diego

Beschreibung

Alter Functional Medicine, led by Cecilia Cruz, MD, is an exceptional wellness and functional medicine clinic serving the community of San Diego, California. Dr. Cruz treats women of reproductive age and those experiencing menopause. 

At Alter Functional Medicine, patients can expect an inviting and professional environment that focuses on a natural and personalized approach to medicine. Treatments utilize the body’s natural healing abilities to fix health problems at their root cause. 

Dr. Cruz believes that innovative care combined with ancient healing practices can address several issues women face — mentally and physically.

Due to frequent hormonal changes, women are more likely to develop digestive issues than men. Dr. Cruz can identify inflammatory triggers or specific conditions causing digestive concerns. Treatments focus on restoring gut health and alleviating discomfort. 

Alter Functional Medicine also treats conditions like endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Although there is no cure for these conditions, holistic treatment plans, including nutritional and lifestyle guidance and medication, can greatly improve symptoms. 

Hormone health is very important to Dr. Cruz. She offers various forms of treatment, including hormone replacement therapy. She is also passionate about thyroid optimization, where customized care can restore overall well-being and improve energy levels. 

At Alter Functional Medicine, supportive and integrative weight management plans focus on empowering patients with resources and tools to achieve their goals. Dr. Cruz may encourage a specific diet, exercise, supplements, or medication support to get a patient’s weight back into balance. 

Alter Functional Medicine strives to make health an easy and enjoyable process. If patients live in the San Diego County area, Dr. Cruz can do home visits to help make the process more convenient.
