Description

Dr. Arenas is a seasoned medical professional with an unyielding commitment to bridging the gap between conventional and functional medicine. Choosing to diverge from the conventional path of merely treating diseases, Dr. Arenas has wholeheartedly embraced functional medicine—an approach centered on preventive care and addressing root causes. His commitment to guiding patients towards a future free from ailments underscores his belief that healthcare should extend beyond curing illnesses to proactively safeguarding well-being.

A graduate of Tulane University in New Orleans, where he pursued a pre-med track alongside a Bachelor’s degree in political science, Dr. Arenas continued his medical education at the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine. He then attended the prestigious University of Washington for a residency in Anesthesiology as well as a fellowship in Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine. Dr. Arenas is an esteemed member of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) and the American Medical Association (AMA).

His dedication to advancing medical understanding is reflected in his upcoming publication in the American Journal of Therapeutics, where he delves into the realm of psychedelic therapy for mood disorders, schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety. Dr. Arenas’s focus on ketamine, ibogaine, DMT or ayahuasca, psilocybin, MDMA, and LSD showcases his commitment to exploring unconventional yet promising avenues in healthcare.

Beyond his professional achievements, Dr.Arenas stands out for his patient-centric approach. Rejecting the conventional scheduling norms, he empowers his patients with direct communication through email and phone, ensuring a physician is just a message away.

A fitness enthusiast, Dr.Arenas is dedicated to resistance training, functional exercise and outdoor activities like biking, racket sports and hiking. His commitment to holistic well-being extends to dietary interventions and exercise advice, aligning with the principles of functional medicine that aim to prevent future diseases.
