Comprehensive Programs
Every program at A Better Alternative Medical Center is built around root-cause investigation, not symptom suppression. Dr. Leder's 35+ years of functional medicine experience means you get answers that actually change your life.
Comprehensive hormone balancing for thyroid disorders and adrenal fatigue. Advanced testing uncovers root causes, not just symptoms. Personalized protocols restore energy, metabolism, and vitality in Bergen County patients who've been told "everything looks normal."
Natural, bioidentical hormone therapy tailored to your unique biochemistry. Addresses menopause, andropause, low libido, fatigue, and weight gain using hormones that work with your body — not against it.
Intravenous EDTA chelation removes heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic) and reduces atherosclerotic plaque. High-dose vitamin C infusions and customized nutrient IVs offer powerful healing that oral supplements cannot match.
Orthomolecular psychiatry identifies biochemical imbalances driving anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. Nutritional supplementation and lifestyle medicine can dramatically reduce or eliminate the need for pharmaceutical drugs.
Chronic sleep disorders are often rooted in hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and nervous system dysregulation. Dr. Leder investigates underlying causes to restore healthy, restorative sleep naturally.
Personalized metabolic programs including HCG protocols address the root causes of stubborn weight gain — hormonal, inflammatory, and nutritional — rather than offering generic calorie-cutting advice.
