Dr. Luis Fandos Offers New Hope for Fibromyalgia on Long Island
For too long, fibromyalgia has been a misunderstood condition, leaving patients frustrated, unheard, and cycling through treatments that only mask symptoms. Now, Dr. Luis Fandos, MD, ABAPM, a highly respected interventional pain management specialist, is transforming fibromyalgia care with a functional medicine approach that seeks to uncover—and address—the root causes of chronic pain.

From Traditional Pain Management to Functional Medicine Pioneer
With over 25 years of experience, Dr. Fandos has built a reputation as a leader in interventional pain management. Originally from Rosario, Argentina, he trained at top U.S. institutions, completing his residency at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, a fellowship in interventional pain management at St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital, Columbia University, and a neuropathic pain fellowship at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City.
Currently, he serves as a physician leader at New York Spine and Pain Physicians in Bay Shore, NY, and as Director of the Division of Pain Medicine at South Shore University Hospital. He was recently appointed Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell.
Through decades of practice, one challenge became clear: traditional pain management could help patients cope with fibromyalgia symptoms—but it rarely solved the problem.
“Fibromyalgia patients were consistently left without real answers,” says Dr. Fandos. “We were managing pain but never getting to the true source.”
A Deeper Look
Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Chronic Pain
Through functional medicine, Dr. Fandos has reframed fibromyalgia—not as a stand-alone disorder, but often as the result of deeper cellular dysfunction, particularly at the mitochondrial level.
Mitochondria, often called the “powerhouses” of our cells, produce the energy our bodies need for every process. When they’re impaired—by toxins, infections, inflammation, or nutrient deficiencies—the effects ripple throughout the body, causing systemic pain, fatigue, and cognitive struggles.
Personalized, Root-Cause Treatment Plans
Dr. Fandos uses advanced diagnostics to identify each patient’s unique biochemical and cellular profile. His personalized fibromyalgia protocols may include:
Functional Medicine Testing – to uncover immune dysregulation, gut health imbalances, detoxification issues, and nutrient deficiencies.
Targeted Supplementation – replenishing magnesium, CoQ10, omega-3s, and other nutrients that support mitochondrial function.
Peptide Therapy – to promote cellular repair and reduce inflammation.
IV Nutrient Therapy – including NAD⁺, vitamin C, B-complex, glutathione, and amino acids for energy restoration.
Hormone Optimization – addressing imbalances that impact recovery and resilience.
Detoxification Support – reducing environmental toxin load and optimizing elimination pathways.
Integrative Therapies at Alluring Age
At Alluring Age Anti-Aging & Wellness Center in West Islip, Dr. Fandos integrates functional medicine with advanced regenerative treatments, such as:
EBOO (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation) – detoxifying the body and reducing inflammation.
Exosome Protocols – repairing damaged cells and supporting mitochondrial health.
Personalized Lifestyle Plans – covering nutrition, movement, stress reduction, and sleep optimization.
Education, Research, and Collaboration
In addition to patient care, Dr. Fandos is committed to advancing the field. He lectures nationally and internationally, trains resident physicians, and collaborates with the Seeds Scientific Research & Performance Institute to refine cellular medicine protocols that target the origins of disease.
A Path to Renewed Vitality
For patients who have felt dismissed, misunderstood, or told there’s nothing more to be done, Dr. Fandos offers a new perspective—and a new path forward.
“Functional medicine gives us the ability to truly see what’s happening at the cellular level,” he says. “When we treat the root cause, we can restore vitality, reduce pain, and help patients reclaim their lives.”
