About Dr. Alejandro Junger
Dr. Alejandro Junger, MD, is a New York Times best-selling author and founder of health and wellness company CLEAN. CLEAN, launched in 2009, was inspired by Dr. Junger’s experiments to restore his own health. Dr. Junger was diagnosed with multiple ailments and none of the traditional treatments that he was prescribed solved his issues. He went on a journey to look at other schools of medicine, and found Ayurvedic medicine, among other things.
He completed his postgraduate training in internal medicine at NYU Downtown Hospital and a fellowship in cardiovascular diseases at Lenox Hill Hospital before studying eastern medicine in India. This led him to developing the CLEAN program. In the years since he launched the program, his patients and followers have experienced benefits of upgrading and reclaiming their health and sense of wellbeing. A Uruguayan-born cardiologist and Functional Medicine practitioner, Dr. Junger is known for working with A-list celebrities, singer-songwriters, and countless other patients seeking to restore the balance of health.
