Functional Medicine and Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy
At The Integrative Medical Institute Of Orange County we provide Functional Medicine and Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) which have tremendously advanced in recent years and is changing the way physicians approach patient care.
Functional Medicine’s approaches looks for the root of the problem as well as preventive strategies that have been proven to be more effective rather than only treating just the symptoms of a “disease.” BHRT further helps the body to activate the necessary mechanisms through balancing that will begin to restore or develop optimal health.
At the Integrative Medical Institute of Orange County you will personally meet with our Medical Director, Dr. Gary Ruelas.
Dr. Ruelas holds doctoral degrees in medicine and psychology.
Over the years, He has acquired knowledge to gather and analyze patient data differently than traditional physicians, by twisting the kaleidoscope and applying critical thinking to the use of the evidence presented. By traversing the views of function, health, and disease from the molecular and genomic to the psychosocial, cultural, behavioral and even spiritual path he takes his patients through a breathtaking stretch of mind, health and body.
He incorporates the best of alternative & traditional forms of medicine to achieve optimal results for his patients. He completed his residency in Family Medicine and is Board Certified in Integrative Medicine.
He is recognized in Suzanne Sommer’s latest book “Knockout”, “Breakthrough” and in her previous book “Ageless” as one of the region’s expert in bio-identical hormones, and in the specialty of Nutritional and Functional Medicine.
