Meet Dr. Teresa Diaz

My Personal Journey

From personal transformation to medical expertise

I know firsthand what it's like to feel disconnected from your body. I grew up in the Bronx, navigating poverty, trauma, and self-abandonment. At my heaviest, I weighed 300 pounds, trapped in cycles of self-denial and disconnection.

It wasn't until I started a journey to reclaim my body, my truth, and my right to pleasure that everything changed. I lost 140 pounds, rediscovered who I truly am, and became a doctor dedicated to helping women do the same.

My Approach to Healing

I work with all genders, but my expertise lies in menopause, hormone therapy, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine, but my passion is in guiding women back to their inner knowing—their truth, their power, and their orgasm.

As a psychology major, I began to unpack the emotional and psychological components that influence lifestyle and weight, helping me to understand my own childhood trauma. In addition to overcoming my traumatic background, I am a lung cancer survivor.

I credit my relatability and effectiveness to my multicultural upbringing, which includes speaking English and Spanish. I am also a dedicated mother, an avid skier, and a vegan, which helped me lose 140 pounds when I embarked on a mindfulness lifestyle.

I know from heartfelt experience that all challenges can be overcome with the proper guidance and support!

“Five years ago, I wasn’t sure how much longer I could keep working — now, I’m sharper than ever. Functional medicine gave me back my energy and my future. Stress management tips made a huge difference. I finally understand that vitality isn’t luck — it’s lifestyle. Working with someone who actually looks at the whole picture is priceless.
