Microbiology in 2017.
After earning his degrees, Juan was accepted into Medical School at the Universidad
Autónoma de Guadalajara (UAG) in Jalisco, Mexico to fulfill his longstanding dream of
becoming a physician in to lend “an ear and a hand” to those in need. It was in one of
his clinical rotations where he came to know what Functional Medicine and “felt the
difference in care, as well as how tailored this Medicine is in finding the actual cause of
a patient’s symptoms rather than treating individual symptoms.” Upon completing his
rotations, Juan received his Medical Doctorate degree in June of 2022.
Since graduation, Juan has been studying and preparing himself to complete the US
