“Booked an appointment was seen right away. The dr was kind, great listener, medically knowledgeable, got to know me and my history. Wasn’t like the other doctors at other offices who just rush you in and out. She has gained a new patient for life. :-). Staff was kind to my kids and helped me with them no problem”

About Dr. Lauren Rueda

**NOTE: THERE IS A $50 NO-SHOW + LATE CANCELLATION FEE** Thank you for booking with us. Please expect a phone call to confirm appointment details. We do not provide implantable devices and IUD insertion. In today’s fast-paced world, traditional care often treats symptoms, not the driver behind them. Dr. Rueda blends deep expertise in regenerative injection therapies (think prolotherapy, PRP, stem cell protocols) with functional medicine, primary care and bio-optimization strategies. Whether you’re managing chronic fatigue, injury recovery, hormonal dysregulation or preventative aging—her goal is simple: get you fully back online and future-proof your health. Our most in-depth evaluation for new and returning patients begins with a complete health assessment and full laboratory panel to uncover underlying imbalances and risk factors. Each visit includes a results review, goal setting, and creation of a personalized naturopathic plan focused on prevention, vitality, and long-term optimization, not just symptom management. Dr. Rueda specializes in the following: * Comprehensive Primary Holistic Care & Wellness Exams * Hormone Health & BHRT AND TRT * Sports Medicine, Regenerative Medicine & Pain Management * Cancer Screening & Prevention * Ketamine-Assisted Therapy * Weight Loss & Nutrition * IV Therapy & Wellness Support * Neuromodulators Daxify/Botox (Aesthetics) * Mind-Body Therapies With her distinctive blend of naturopathic training and advanced regenerative medicine, Dr. Rueda brings empathetic, high-touch care to high-performing clients. She listens when others rush, focuses when others patch, and creates solutions where others stop at “good enough.” If you’re done settling for “just okay” and ready for “built-different,” you’re in the right lane. We look forward to supporting your evolution—bigger performance, deeper recovery, smarter wellness.

Dr. Lauren Rueda is very intelligent, compassionate, competent, and open-minded. She took her time to listen to everything I wanted to discuss and I felt heard. The holistic approach to health is so refreshing because it considers how the mind and the body intertwine. It is very helpful to look at everything as a whole and for the first time in years, I feel like a doctor is taking me seriously.
