With 31 years of experience in healthcare, Baby Ruth Alvarez, AGPCNP-C, brings extensive clinical knowledge and a deep commitment to helping patients feel their best at every stage of life. Her nursing and advanced practice career has included critical care, ICU, emergency medicine, primary care, weight management and wellness, hospital medicine, and telehealth.
Throughout her career, Baby Ruth has cared for countless patients struggling with symptoms that affected their energy, mood, sleep, weight, mental clarity, and overall quality of life. Over time, she became especially interested in patients experiencing symptoms associated with hormonal changes and imbalances-many of whom felt frustrated because they knew something had changed yet had difficulty finding answers or meaningful relief.
Her experiences in wellness medicine inspired her to expand her knowledge and pursue additional training in hormone optimization and BioTE® therapy. She believes healthcare should go beyond simply treating symptoms; patients deserve to feel heard, understood, and empowered to take an active role in their health.
Baby Ruth is particularly inspired by hearing the experiences of patients whose quality of life has improved after receiving appropriate hormone therapy. Those stories have strengthened her passion for helping women and men better understand their bodies and explore individualized options that may help them feel more like themselves again.
Her goal is to combine more than three decades of clinical experience with a compassionate, individualized approach to wellness-helping each patient work toward improved health, vitality, and quality of life.
“After 31 years in healthcare, I still believe one of the greatest privileges is listening to my patients, understanding what they are experiencing, and helping them find a path toward feeling their best”.
Felicia Ferguson is a Critical Care Nurse Practitioner and certified Biote provider who brings both clinical expertise and personal understanding to hormone health.
As a perimenopausal woman herself, Felicia is on the same journey as many of her patients: navigating the shifts in energy, sleep, mood, and focus that midlife can bring, while balancing a demanding career in critical care and two growing practices. That shared experience shapes how she cares for every patient. She listens closely, takes symptoms seriously, and never dismisses what a woman is feeling as “just part of getting older.”
Her years in critical care taught her to read the full clinical picture, interpret labs with precision, and treat the person rather than a number on a page. She brings that same rigor to hormone optimization. Every hormone optimization plan begins with comprehensive lab work and an in-depth consultation, and is personalized to each patient’s symptoms, goals, and health history, with ongoing monitoring to keep it working.
At the heart of Felicia’s practice is a commitment to aging well. She believes midlife is not something to simply endure. It is a season to feel strong, clear-headed, and fully yourself. Through hormone therapy, wellness care, and aesthetics, she helps patients look and feel their best at every stage of life.
