Inside an Integrative Medical Model Transforming Longevity, Pain, and Performance

As we enter the new year, patients are increasingly seeking solutions that go beyond symptom management alone. Regenerative and integrative medicine is redefining what modern healthcare can look like, emphasizing healing, optimization, and long-term vitality. Vegas Wellness Magazine has always championed innovation and supported wellness in all its forms, whether those solutions are found locally or just close enough for our community to travel in pursuit of the very best care.

At the forefront of this evolution are two visionary leaders whose complementary expertise is shaping a truly comprehensive, patient-centered approach to healing: Dr. Suye Suenaga, Medical Director, and Dr. Alessandro Porcella Jr., Clinic Director of Holistic Care Clinic in Tijuana, Mexico. Together, they represent a new generation of medicine; one that seamlessly merges advanced regenerative therapies with integrative diagnostics, clinical precision, and a deep respect for the body’s innate capacity to repair and restore itself.

Dr. Suye Suenaga brings a uniquely global and interdisciplinary background to her role as Medical Director. She earned her medical degree from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa and specialized in Emergency Medicine, where she gained extensive experience managing acute and complex cases under pressure. Early in her career, she made history as the first female physician for a Mexican national soccer team, working closely with elite athletes to optimize recovery, performance, and injury prevention.

Her passion for advancing patient outcomes led her to pursue a master’s degree in Reproduction and Fertility from the University of Valencia in Spain, expanding her expertise beyond acute care and into long-term regenerative health. Additionally, she has completed advanced training in hormone optimization, ultrasound-guided therapies, integrative medicine, and ozone therapy. Over the past 12 years, Dr. Suenaga has become a respected leader in regenerative medicine, focusing on stem cell therapies and exosomes to address fertility challenges, chronic disease, anti-aging concerns, and oncology support. Today, Dr. Suenaga is not only a clinician but also an educator, regularly presenting at conferences and training other medical professionals in integrative regenerative protocols.

Complementing Dr. Suenaga’s medical leadership is Dr. Alessandro Porcella Jr., Clinic Director, whose career reflects a deep commitment to addressing root causes rather than chasing symptoms.

Dr. Porcella earned his Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree from Bastyr University, one of the nation’s leading institutions for integrative and holistic medicine. His clinical focus centers on regenerative medicine, integrative oncology, cardiometabolic health, and autoimmune conditions, with a strong emphasis on personalized treatment planning. Additionally, he has furthered his training with courses in IV therapies, functional medicine, botanical medicine, and peptide therapies.

Before completing his medical training, Dr. Porcella led the biological dentistry department at American Biodental Center, where he trained new dentists in holistic protocols and oversaw the care of complex patient cases. This experience sharpened his ability to bridge disciplines, manage multidisciplinary teams, and design comprehensive treatment plans- skills that now define his role as Clinic Director. Their combined expertise has led them to be invited to speak at multiple conferences, morning shows, and podcasts on their clinic’s unique approach to treating patients.

Holistic Care Clinic started 26 years ago as a biological dental clinic called American Biodental Center. They were one of the first holistic dental clinics in Mexico. Expanding over the years, an integrative medical clinic was opened 15 years ago, which became Holistic Care. The core philosophy is that diseases and health are a complex mix that requires a whole-body approach with an integrative team of providers to address. Combining biological dentistry, regenerative medicine, naturopathic medicine, integrative oncology, and chiropractic all under one roof, Holistic Care has an extensive list of powerful modalities to work with.

A cornerstone of the clinic’s approach is patient education, particularly when it comes to regenerative therapies such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Unlike conventional treatments that focus solely on symptom suppression, regenerative medicine works by supporting the body’s natural repair mechanisms.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells found in tissues such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord tissue. Their defining capabilities include self-renewal, differentiation into structural tissues, and the release of powerful anti-inflammatory and regenerative signaling factors. Rather than replacing entire organs or joints, these cells help repair damaged tissue and modulate inflammation, creating a healthier environment for healing. Working with their own stem cell laboratory, they can guarantee the quality and quantity of their cells, providing effective treatments while keeping the costs affordable for the average patient.

Mesenchymal stem cells have been found to be very promising in degenerative and chronic conditions. The integrative medical team led by Dr. Suenaga and Dr. Porcella, has helped hundreds of patients who are dealing with debilitating conditions and have had amazing success with autoimmune conditions, neurological diseases, and autism. Stem cells can have powerful systemic benefits when applied in IV form, but can also be applied locally into the joints, muscles, and organs, and used for aesthetic or reproductive benefits.

In cases of joint pain and musculoskeletal degeneration, such as osteoarthritis, cartilage wear, meniscus injuries, tendinopathies, and chronic back or neck pain, MSCs can significantly improve quality of life. Their benefits include reduced inflammation within the joint, stimulation of cartilage repair, improved synovial fluid quality, and indirect pain relief through decreased nerve irritation. Patients commonly report 50–80% reductions in pain, improved mobility, and decreased stiffness, with results developing gradually over several weeks as tissue repair occurs.

Precision, Safety, and Individualization

Both Dr. Suenaga and Dr. Porcella emphasize that regenerative medicine is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Outcomes depend on proper patient selection, thorough medical evaluation, imaging review, and precise application, often using ultrasound-guided techniques to ensure accuracy and safety.

They also educate patients on the differences between regenerative options. While platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can be effective for mild joint pain by reducing inflammation, stem cell therapies offer stronger and longer-lasting benefits, particularly in moderate to advanced degeneration, where tissue repair is needed rather than temporary symptom relief. Strategically combining stem cell therapies with other modalities such as physical medicine, peptides, IV infusions, and hyperbaric oxygen, outcomes can also be greatly improved.

What sets this integrative model apart is its philosophy: healing is not about isolated interventions, but about understanding the interconnected systems of the body. By combining regenerative medicine with functional diagnostics, hormonal balance, metabolic optimization, and lifestyle-informed care, Dr. Suenaga and Dr. Porcella are helping patients move beyond “managing conditions” toward truly optimizing health.

From athletes seeking peak performance, to individuals managing chronic pain, to patients pursuing longevity and vitality, this approach reflects the future of wellness medicine, where science, precision, and personalization converge.

As regenerative therapies continue to evolve, one thing is clear: the future of healthcare belongs to models that honor both innovation and the body’s inherent intelligence. And in that future, integrative leaders like Dr. Suye Suenaga and Dr. Alessandro Porcella Jr. are helping set a new gold standard for what’s possible in modern medicine.
