Jay Pennock, MD

Jay Pennock, MD is a board-certified Emergency Medicine Physician with over 25 years’ experience in the Emergency Department. In that capacity he has witnessed what happens to patients when their choices over time work against their own health. “Dr. Jay” created Rejuvenate Medi-Spa & Wellness in 2015, in Santa Cruz, to create an environment where the functional medicine approach is all about the experience.  Empowering people to change their lives and make better decisions about their health is really what it’s all about.  After more than 10 years, the approach of this practice has led its clients to much healthier lives, and improvement or reversal of their medical conditions, and reduction or elimination of their medications.

Functional Medicine focuses on sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress reduction along with hormone balancing and inflammation reduction to optimize people’s health.  Clients also see Dr Jay for weight loss programs and Alzheimer’s’ prevention.  Continually gaining medical knowledge and insight through ongoing education, Dr. Jay has developed new, effective, patient-centered medical care. This approach will create an interactive and “wholistic” approach to living longer, healthier lives.
