Meet Faride Ramos | Board Certified Functional and Internal Medicine Specialist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Faride Ramos and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Faride, is there something you can share with us that those outside of the industry might not be aware of?
Functional Medicine is a root – based, preventive medicine that provides different specialized testing for diagnosis and prevent medical diseases and unhealthy aging; it offers many variety of tools and natural remedies in order to achieve healthy aging process and at the same time reducing chronic long lasting diseases of the modern living style

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
My practice, I really considered since the time I graduated from Med School when I was 22; since that time I have had the chance to experience many different areas in medicine: from clinical research all the way to taking care of patients at nursing homes and now doing more personalized integrative care, which I am proud of since its the true preventive medicine.

When i came to this country I had to work assisting other doctors while I was studying for my boards, which helped me grow as a person and professional; I learned about the medical staff side; simple things such as how to draw blood which we don’t get train in med school and also how to do pregnant abdominal ultrasounds.

I love diversity of patient medical cases and how I create a bond with my patients; seen their progression and influencing them in their health journey is priceless. Only relevant point was that I true improvement and healing was hard using only Conventional Medicine Approach; that’s why I started looking into Functional Integrative Medicine,
To get to the root of the problem, connecting all the dots and making sure mind body emotions and social factors are important to really get a long lasting result and health aging process.
Also that inspired me to create an Online Comprehensive Wellness Program, ALFAGENIX, which serves people in different states to facilitate personalized holistic integrative medicine and have the option of optimizing health and having healthy aging

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I will show areas such as Las Olas BOULEVARD and take her/him to nice restaurants in the areas Also in A1A right in front of the ocean, dine out and have good time
time to relax at a nice spa in front of the ocean such as the one at the hotel Auberge Beach on Ocean Blvd
I love to eat at nice places, good ambience, laugh and then if possible dance – so for dancing Miami is a better area; Chicas has nice music
Take the boat out in the Fort Lauderdale Sandbar with more friends to relax and go to the ocean too

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
During my fellowship I got inspired by other conventional medicine doctors that have incorporated Functional Medicine in their practice and that way have solved medical problems for patients who had no answer in Western Medicine; examples are Dr Smith, Who provided me with valuable detailed knowledge about hormonal therapy in men and women. Also I came across with other mentors that has helped with spiritual and emotional care, in this aspect I can mention a good friend Rita Ullom who is a woman that inspires to follow your dreams and build up your future
