12 Specialized Programs · Hackensack, NJ
Root-cause programs for hormones, thyroid, IV chelation, mental health, weight management, and complete whole-person healing — backed by 40+ years of clinical expertise.
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.
Advanced diagnostic panels — comprehensive hormone testing, food sensitivity analysis, heavy metal screening, gut microbiome assessment, and nutritional evaluations — reveal what standard labs miss entirely.
A comprehensive whole-body transformation program. Includes full-system evaluation, personalized protocols, nutritional guidance, and long-term support to rebuild your health from the foundation up.
Specialized biomedical approaches for autism spectrum and developmental challenges. Comprehensive testing and individualized treatment protocols support optimal neurological function and quality of life.
Gender-specific health optimization addressing hormonal health, sexual wellness, fertility, perimenopause, menopause, andropause, and age-related concerns through natural, evidence-informed solutions.
Dr. Leder's background in psychology and orthomolecular psychiatry extends to compassionate counseling for couples and families navigating relationship challenges, communication issues, and life transitions.
Comprehensive evaluation and state-compliant certification for medical cannabis use in New Jersey. Dr. Leder assesses whether medical marijuana is an appropriate part of your individualized treatment plan.
