I've been a doctor since 2015. I was born in Bahía Blanca, Argentina, where I studied Medicine at the public university. I trained in my specialty in Buenos Aires, at one of the country's leading referral hospitals, after ranking among the top scores nationwide in the residency exam. That meant 48-hour shifts caring for 40 patients at a time, many of them critical: advanced cirrhosis, cancer, severe inflammatory and celiac disease.

I assumed my exhaustion came from the system itself — public healthcare, overwhelmed and bureaucratic. In 2018 I did a rotation at Hospital Clínic in Barcelona, one of the best centers in Europe, to test that theory. And I found out it wasn't the system: doing endoscopies, or comparing which brand of endoscopy tower performed better, simply didn't interest me. That wasn't my place — not in Argentina, not there either.

If you're reading this, you might recognize something similar — not in your career, but in your body: seeing several doctors, hearing "it's stress" or "everything looks fine," and still feeling like no one has actually explained what's going on.

That disconnect from the medicine I'd trained in led me to study Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, and functional nutrition — not to leave what I knew behind, but because I needed a lens I could actually stay interested in. I didn't leave the medicine I studied: I still use it in every consultation, adding what the hospital never had the time or the space to look at.

Today, the first visit is where we go through your full story — your childhood, your current routine, your sleep, your stress levels — like a book, not a checklist. That's often where connections show up that no one had pointed out before: chronic low-back pain sustained by stress and poor sleep can activate the same nervous system driving your bloating or your reflux. From there, we build a concrete plan — nutrition, supplementation, and weekly acupuncture — which my patients often describe as finally feeling accompanied.

I work mainly with women dealing with digestive symptoms — bloating, reflux, SIBO, IBS — who already sense the connection between their body and their stress, even if no one has confirmed it for them yet.

If this sounds familiar, the first visit is where we start putting a name to what you're feeling.
