About Me — Dr. Alexandra Santamaria

Hi, I’m Dr. Alexandra Santamaria, a clinical pharmacist, diabetes specialist, and functional-medicine health coach.

I help busy adults with Type 2 diabetes lower their blood sugar, lose weight, and reduce medications — naturally and with confidence.

But before I began coaching others, I had to heal myself too.

🌱 My Story (and Why I Care So Much About This Work)

For years, I struggled with my own health.
I dealt with pre-diabetes, stress, exhaustion, menopause symptoms, and eventually a diabetes diagnosis. My blood sugars were unstable. I gained weight. I felt overwhelmed and defeated — even though I was a pharmacist who helped other people manage their diabetes every day.

When my health hit rock bottom, I knew I needed a different approach.

That’s when I discovered functional medicine.
I changed the way I ate, healed my gut, lowered inflammation, worked on my stress and sleep, and reconnected my mindset with my health. Over time, I lost weight, reversed my diabetes, and came off my medications. For the first time in years, I felt like myself again.

And I realized something important:

You can take control of your health — even if you’ve struggled for years.
