Dr. Cruz-Tolentino's unique approach to weight loss combines physical health with chronic issues and patient goals, providing a holistic solution for those seeking a healthier lifestyle. We will delve into her personal background, cultural heritage, and experiences as a Filipino doctor living in the United States.Dr. Cruz-Tolentino's childhood was marked by her move from the Philippines to Connecticut at the age of 8. She lived with her grandparents, who taught her to speak Tagalog fluently, a skill she still uses today. Her grandparents' conservative upbringing had a significant impact on her life, shaping her values and perspective. Dr. Cruz-Tolentino's husband, also Filipino, often teases her about her language skills, and she has three daughters, including a 21-year-old senior in college.Dr. Cruz-Tolentino's family has faced its share of challenges, including the time her husband got a job in Connecticut while she was in residency in upstate New York. They navigated a long-distance relationship, with Dr. Cruz-Tolentino's husband driving from Connecticut to Utica every Friday and back on Sundays for three years. When she finished her residency, they moved to Maine, where her husband did consultancy work before joining her in her residency program. Their experiences in Maine and later in Virginia have been filled with triumphs and lessons learned.As the founder of My Wellness Physicians, Dr. Cruz-Tolentino's clinic takes a holistic approach to weight loss, considering the interconnectedness of physical health, chronic issues, and patient goals. Her experiences with medical missions in the Philippines have given her a unique perspective on healthcare and a desire to continue making a difference in the future.
