Everything in your life is connected. Your care should be too.
Dr. Alona Pulde and Dr. Matthew Lederman help you see how your health, your family, and your life connect, and what to do next.
Sometimes the problem is medical. Sometimes it's personal. Often, it's both.
You've seen the specialists. Followed the protocols. Run the tests. Yet the symptoms persist, the patterns repeat, and the answers stay just out of reach.
Complex emotional and relationship challenges.
Your nervous system may be stuck in a stress response. Once we address that, other areas of your life often begin to shift.
How do I get from where I am now to a life that actually feels better? That's where we begin.
No rigid programs. Just a grounded, physician-led process that meets you where you are.
Share Your Story
We start with a deep-dive consultation to understand your full history: medical, emotional, behavioral, and the people in your life. It goes beyond what typical appointments allow.
Uncover the Pattern
Using evidence-based approaches, we identify where your nervous system may be stuck and how that connects to your symptoms, habits, relationships, and emotional responses.
Move Forward With Support
Together we build a plan that brings your medical care together with food, family, fun, fitness, and nervous system regulation, with ongoing support to create lasting, real-life change.
Ask Me Anything with the Connection Docs
Live sessions where you bring your questions and we answer them directly. Private, members only, and never posted publicly.

Alona Pulde, MD &
Matthew Lederman, MD
Conventionally trained physicians who spent decades at the intersection of medicine, behavior change, nutrition, and emotional health, and kept seeing the same pattern: people struggling despite doing everything "right."
ConnectionDocs was born from that gap. They integrate evidence-based medicine with nervous system regulation and stress physiology, so the interventions you're already trying can finally work.
